Mini crop

Once a month or so Helen, Vanessa, Sarah, Lianne and I head over to Lou's house for a mini crop. We take over the huge dining room table and banish Rob and the kids to elsewhere so we can make a mess, eat treats, gossip .... and do a little scrapping too. On Sunday there were just 4 of us so we had loooooaaaads of room to spread out on the table. I had planned 3 pages in advance so I managed to get 4 pages done.

This one is James being James - a goofball! The papers are actually Christmas ones - Fancy Pants "Hot Chocolate" - but I thought they were quite versatile that's why I bought them. I like papers with red in them and Lou and I are always blethering on about "real red". Lots of the embellishments are from Elle's Studio. I have loads of them thanks to Helen who FORCED me to order loads! The glasses stamps were perfect - they are WRMK that were a bargain in TK Maxx.
This one of Sam and I is using Pebbles Inc "Twitterpated" and a little bit of My Minds Eye "Bloom & Grow" and Elle's Studio bits and bobs again. Both layouts have American Crafts thickers for the titles - don't ask me how many packets of those I have! We were at Camelot Theme Park in this photo and The Husband very rarely takes photos of me with the kids so I had to scrap this one.

This one is WRMK again - another bargain from TK Maxx. I don't do hand cutting as a rule but I was sitting next to Sarah and I guess her "penchant" for it rubbed off a little! The circles are cut from a sheet that was overpowering as a whole sheet but the circles themselves were cool. The title is Thickers again - sorry if you are singing Jungle Book songs all day now!

This last one uses "Campy Trails" papers from American Crafts - and not a camping theme in sight! I borrowed the stamp from Lou - it's Jenni Bowlin from Sarahscards. Josh was being cool at Tatton Park and Sam wanted to take his photo. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think.

Back soon hopefully!
