Time to Play...

Next up from my weekend away....

 

PLAY: using up some more old bits n bobs, rummaging thru the scrap stash, feeling a little bit eclectic....feeling free and just adding lots of different patterns and colours....good for boys pages...and just keeping the memories alive!!

 

Play is about Mr E and his first year of Under 9's football....

 



 It is beautiful to watch an feel little ones enthusiasm, their keenness to play...

 to get out onto the field, even though it is damn cold on those Friday nights,

the guernseys cover the knees, and the socks cover the rest.

There is a lot of skipping an jumping about like young lambs in a paddock...

.....which makes me smile.....oh I love to watch you play!!

 

KINDY KID: after the Wilna class at E2C, I still was in the paint sploshing mood, and added some blue, green & white left over from the class onto another sheet of cardstock....once again added some bright bits of papers, differing patterns....mixing it up...adding some old but lovely embellishments to celebrate and document this little fella going off to kindy...

 



Yes, stop growing up so fast...

....let me enjoy these moments for a little longer

....now it is your turn to have me sit on the kindy 'mat' with you while your

group finishes up for the day with a story book.

Love these special moments.

 

So that is my share for today....thanks for popping on by,

Scrap me Happy weekend....

Just recently I had a wonderful weekend in Port Lincoln with 90 other scrappy minded ladies at the Escape2Create retreat....and scrap our hearts out we did. When I go away on these weekends I like to pre-pack kits and have set in my mind what I might do with certain pictures.

 

While I was packing my kits up, I found myself grabbing for older papers, older embellishments that all seemed to work in with my colourful photos. First up here are some pictures from our tour to Cinque Terre in 2014....ahhh....the memories of this glorious place!! Just an apology : my pictures of my scrap pages are not that flash- sorry!! :(

 

Cinque Terre: Even though I used older papers & embellishments from Studio Calico an AC Dear Lizzy, I  also used some newer water colour paints, some stamping and some ink splats.... it all worked well together. 

 

 

 Game on: School holidays means out with the board games with the grandsons....and on this day it was Monopoly....and I had to have my wits about me as Mr E was purchasing every piece of property he could and then onto me for rent if I landed on it!! boy oh boy!!

But once again I found myself grabbing older paper ranges, mixing them all up with colours and patterns, it came together easy....adding a few simple embellishments.

 

I am loving the fact I have been using some older scrap stash....tick for me I say!!

 

Thanks for popping on by.....and please leave a comment if you do.....that always makes me smile..

 

Have a good day...xx
