Summer Days from a Starting Point
Last week of the school holidays!! Did I blink and miss the Summer??! lol!
Just popping by very quickly to share with you my layout created from Shimelle's starting point.
Basically, the idea is we are given the position of the patterned paper as a starting point on which to create the rest of the layout.
Papers are Crate Neighbourhood and Fancy Pants Rusted Sun, Thickers letters and a Bazzill flower! I've inked all the papers and cardstock with brown distress ink.
My shop is certainly keeping me busy, following the Open Day last weekend lots of products are unfortunately out of stock and I'm awaiting restocks along with some new bits including My Mind's Eye 6" X 6" pads and the MME 12 days Christmas Collection which should be here any day.
Two exciting things happening at S J Crafts this week
* I'll be posting a little giveaway on the S J Crafts Blog tomorrow so don't forget to pop over there and enter!
* S J Crafts are looking for some talented crafters (scrapping or cards) who would like to be part of our brand new Design Team. More details coming soon!
Right, H has a friend over to play and they have just popped in to ask "when is tea ready?" and I've not even started making it so I'd better head into the kitchen!!
Love x

The journalling reads " On hot sunny days, you love it when we get the paddling pool out and you play for ages in the water and have so much fun!!"

Ibiza Town Layout
I took literally hundreds of photos in Ibiza on our holiday last year including loads in Ibiza Town. I fell in love with the Old Town, it was so pretty with it's old buildings, cobbled streets, flowers and trees and cafe's on every corner. It was bustling and alive yet relaxing at the same time, a million miles from the reputation that the island has for being "Party Ibiza"!!
So far I've made one layout of the Old Town which you can see on this post and I rarely make more than one layout of the same theme but with so many pictures and memories to capture I made the exception this time.

I tried to put my 3 clusters of embellishments in a triangle and used bursts of colour to emphasis the colour from the flowers!
Everything is inked with my blending tool and brushed corduroy distress ink and papers are Sassafras Starters and Crate Emma's Shoppe
Right, I'm off to make a start on my layout for Shimelle's Starting Point Challenge!
Have a great evening!

Update & 12" X 12" Papers for 25p!!!
Morning Blog Readers! I know, I know!! It has been a long time! No excuse really! Just busy with days out, 3 family birthdays, my in laws to stay, hubby had 2 weeks off work and we had a family weekend away!!
Thought I'd share a few of my fave pics from the 100's I have taken in the last few weeks. I need some fresh scrapbooking fodder so carried my camera everywhere!
This first one was taken on a day out to Tyneham Village and Warbarrow Bay. H loved looking through the binoculars at the stunning views!
After a look around Tyneham Village (More photos of the village to follow in a separate post!) we headed down to the bay where H had a paddle!
It's not often I like myself in photos but as I need a photo for a forthcoming project I got hubby to take a few whilst out for a walk and this is the one I'm kind of ok with! lol!

Lucky!
It's on days like today that I feel very lucky and blessed that I live near the sea and that I am able to enjoy views like this pretty much whenever I want.
Even when the sky is not this blue and the sea is not this calm I still appreciate it's beauty, yes, even in the middle of winter a walk along the clifftop to see the sea, and then a visit to the clifftop cafe overlooking the sea for coffee is one of my favorite things to do.
On a summer's day, like today it is amazing to take in the view, feel the sun, breath the sea air and just appreciate living by the sea!

* London Daytrip *
August, already ... how did that happen?
So the 1st week of school holidays just flew by.
I have loved spending time with my girl. We have spent our days enjoying time at home to read, draw, play board games and craft together but also we have had some lovely days out.
The very first day of the holidays we surprised H with a day trip to London as a reward for her very good school report. We got the train at 8 in the morning and on arrival in London headed to the Natural History Museum, which is somewhere H has been wanting to go for ages, only to find long queues to get in. It was worth waiting though as H loved it inside and enjoyed all the things to see and do!!

We had a look inside the butterfly house in the museum grounds, so of course I now have a 100 photos of colourful butterflies!!
Then it was Pizza for dinner .....
............... and the train home, exhausted but happy. H is already planning her next trip to London, to include a theatre show!!!
