Hi everyone, bad blogger this week, been a busy week, hope you have all been well and keeping cool or warm depending of where you are in the world.
A few layouts to share this week, "Not the full deck" is my submission for the Design Team at ARTastic this month, the criteria being, you have to have a playing card, a feather and shades of brown, the pictures here are of Nate and I being silly with his bunny ears this last easter.
I got the gorgeous Studio Calico kit this week, so the layout "Operation" is from the kit with the exception of the silver camera which my good friend Amanda Taylor gave me. I based my layout on the inspiring works of Sasha Farina, (love love her work).
The layout "at the Beach" was one I did for the Dollies DT and haven't had a chance to show you yet. April 2010 Nate and I went on a camp and this is us at Currimundi Beach on the Sunshine Coast. I think this paper was from Pink Paislee, and the canvas material is prima printed canvas, it is divine.
Been a busy week this week, an older friend and I started a small older women's group, we meet every Tuesday at 10.30am and we had 7 attend this last week. The ladies are all over 65, and don't get out of the house very much, I take Dawn (83 years young) and she is gorgeous with lots of great story's of times past, we all have a coffee, laugh and chat and Nate enjoys playing with kids in the cool play area. I feel so enriched to have these older ladies in my life, and it makes their week to get out and chat.
Wednesday was scrap play day, got a layout completed for upcoming ARTastic DT and watched "Cars" the movie another 3 times, Nate leaves and goes and plays on his trampoline or bike and Jan and I are left to watch it, however, if he pops back in to see us and notices we have changed the channel to normal tv, B....so we just leave it on. I almost know the words off by heart.
Went for our walks on Thurs & Friday, and Saturday went to a small park (we walked) and their was a great children's fun day, Nate played with play dough, card and craftmaking & dress ups. We had a great day. I hope you are all very well, I have my scrap day with Amanda tomorrow so hopefully will have some layouts to share with you later in the week. Love to you all dear friends. Melxx
