A Day at The Beach

We had a great day at the beach, never expecting to go in April.....its been one of the driest, sunniest Aprils for 60 years in the UK apparently..... Can't wait to scrap some of the 647 photos I took, so glad the days of 36 pictures are over !!!

2 Gorgeous Girls

Just sitting around, the photo was taken by ds2 playing around with my camera on Xmas day, he managed to catch this photo, I don't think I would have been allowed to !!! Some old K & Co pp I believe....also some of the prima crochet flowers, which I love.... New Style, dd3 got a new shirt - and it wasn't black !!!! She also styled her hair differently from usual, so I managed to persuade her to have some photos taken !!! I used my new marianne designs punch and a Martha Stewart 'vine' punch.

Catching up....

Some more of those not so brilliant photos, but the only ones you have type......before the age of digital cameras that were within a sensible price range, photos are limited but still need to be scrapped. Scrubs ds4 as the doctor and ds2 the 'willing' patient !! Cute shoes, was a scraplift challenge at my LSS, http://www.paperarts.co.uk/ so not my usual style which was actually quite fun.

Vampire Newborn, dd3, I took these photos in the woods near our house, it was quite dark so the flash automatically came on - giving the red eye look - I did go to 'fix' it, but decided that I liked the look and she loves Vampires....this was a sketch challenge at the same LSS http://www.paperarts.co.uk/

Stunning Yellow...

This months mycreativescrapbook.com Limited edition kit had lots and lots of flowers in it.....the pp's were Pink Paislee mainly and very very pretty. Garden Visits start Young, this is dd3 when very little out visiting a garden near here, it was lovely to run about on the large lawned area...she did sooo want to jump in their swimming pool too..... Statues, last year these 2 disappeared and when we found them again they were trying to blend in with the statues...lots of people took photos of them as they thought they looked so funny.... Young and Free,I just loved these papers that Pam has picked this month....I decided to edge the brown pp with my loops corner punch, lots of cutting out with the flowers and foam dots, they cover a large part of the photo, and a couple of stamps to finish off....

Hospital Visits

Someone asked if they should scrap hospital stays - I say YES.....it might not be such good memories, but its still part of life I suppose....My kids ask me to take photos of them when visiting A&E, they love me to scrap their misadventures !!!

This was DH after his accident on his bike, he came off his mountain bike at 40mph on a hump back bridge, straight into the hedge. He broke his shoulder into 5 pieces and suffered huge gravel burns....not a happy chap !!!


This was DS5 during his stay for appendicitis - at least I'll remember when this was now !!!
