A Lovely Scrappy Day

Yesterday Kim ://lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com/ and myself had a lovely scrappy day at Miss Annettes http://annetteedmonds.blogspot.com/  We try and do this every second weekend and most times seem to  manage it. Some days are really productive and some not so , but we always have lots of laughs and have yummy food, I'm sure you have heard about Kim's famous Pav MMMMMMm
Well yesterday was one of the productive days. I arrived , late as usual, no plan, just throw a heap of stuff in and sort it out when I get there (yep not the most organised person). Then Miss Annette reminded me our DT layouts were due for scrapthatsong next week Yikes! http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com/


Ok well I just picked a piece of Pattern Paper that took my fancy and went from there, done and dusted. But cant show you that one yet, maybe a sneak peek perhaps ;)
The night before I finished off a layout for a lyric challenge over at Home and Scrapped http://homeandscrapped.ning.com/  which is what I had planned to do an Annette's, but once I start a layout I cant stop until it is finished. I have taken to saying in my head "Walk away from the layout" , but nope have to finish it, crazy I know.
And Then I re did a layout that I did when I first started scrapping and I'm sure I loved it then...... it was literally a pic stuck on cardstock with a few punched autumn leaves stuck around, so I like it much better now :)


First the layout for Home and Scrapped. My Beautiful Grandchildren

Bottom PP is from the Mariposa stack, top PP is Bo Bunny ECT Range (love this range), Chippies from Scrapmatts, Flowers , and twine from http://www.craftqueen.com.au/, Lots of messy stitching, a bit of tulle. The song is Just the Way you Are ,by Bruno Mars and I have slid the lyrics in the side of the pic on a tag.


Next Zoe and Amelia, this is the layout I redid

To look at a larger version , just click on pic
Kim lent me her Crafters Workshop Template, the Key Material bow is from the gorgeous Jess Mac http://thehappyscrappyplace.blogspot.com/ , the gorgeous bird and flowers from http://www.craftqueen.com.au/ and lacey material from the lovely Elise http://elise-ourwonderfullife.blogspot.com/ I was really happy with how this turned out.
Well that's all folks , will show sneak peeks of scrapthatsong layout next post, so....... stay tuned
Happy Scrapping
Hugs
