Just another day at the beach

Every few months I take the shop to a lovely crop held at Littlegreen School near Portsmouth/Chichester and run by Sue. I'm usually lucky enough to fit in a little scrapping time in between running the shop.

 

This is the layout I made last time I went!

Living quite close to the beach we are lucky enough to be able to visit fairly often and when H was small we would often go and let her play in the sand with buckets and spades and paddle in the sea.

 

I have lots (and lots!) of photos of her playing on the beach and lots of scrapbook layouts of beach photos!!

It's actually getting tricky to come up with different titles for my "beach" layouts ... the title for this one is taken from this layout which I had pinned.

 

The background paper and the pink diamond pattern paper are from the Crate DIY Shop collection kit and I've used some pink polka washi tape, Studio Calico Aqua Thickers and a few tiny alpha stickers and brads from my box of stash!

 

I will add some journalling and the date to this layout.

 

I hope you've had a lovely weekend .... it's the last day of the school holidays here so after a walk along the beach and ice creams this afternoon we are back home to preparing uniform and school bags!!

You Are One!

Happy Monday to you! 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! On Saturday I was at the Littlegreen Crop, with my shop and had once the shop was all set up I had a little time to do some scrapping alongside the lovely ladies that were there!

Inspired by Lisa-Jane's recent blog posts on using 6 x 6 papers which in case you missed them are here, here and here! and in line with my current Stash busting efforts - I grabbed a half used Crate Random 6 x 6 pad (with a fair few part used sheets in it!!) and came up with this layout.

Sorry, it's not a great photo - there is no decent daylight here today! 

I picked out a 6 x 6 sheet of denim paper to match H's little dress in the photo and trimmed it for a photo mat. I then added a "ruler" sticker, pink washi tape and a scrap of patterned paper from the pad which I punched with a Stampin Up border punch underneath the photo of H on her first birthday

I trimmed some more of the 6 x 6 papers and tucked them under the top of the photo. In the top right hand corner  2 more little stips of paper and some washi tape create a cluster to balance the layout.

My title is Dear Lizzy Glitter Thickers and I added some punched butterflies, tiny alpha stickers for the date, some little pink gems and a few "flicks" of pink paint!

Don't forget to add your projects made with 6" x 6" papers to this blog post by 16th September to be in with a chance of a prize!

I did start another layout at the crop but just need to finish it off before I can show you.

I'm also linking up with the September Soiree - a fun place to link up your projects hosted by the lovely Jennifer.
