Cropping with Friends

Today I spent some time cropping with "the girls" and we had a great time scrapping, chatting and generally putting the world to rights LOL. I actually managed to do two layouts which was good considering I didn't really start working until after lunch (what's new???). The first one I'll post today was done using the Bo Bunny Flutter Butter range of paper and stickers and the pearl swirl is by Prima. I stamped the butterfly background using my PTI butterfly stamp set and Brilliance Light Blue ink. The buttons were pinched from Val's stash as I had conveniently forgotten mine LOL. I particularly like this photo of Laura and I have used it a couple of time before. I think she looks so angelic that butter wouldn't melt and that was probably the case back then but maybe not so much now LOL.

Catch ya later gaters.

Back to Work ..................

and what a shock to my system. I'd forgotten how hard it was to get up at 6am and go to work. Seriously though, I am glad to be back and using my brain again and I'm sure it is like riding a bike and within a week or so I'll forget I was ever a lady of leisure for so long LOL. I'm still having problems with my back but everything else seems to either be sorted or well on the way to recovery so it's no rest for the wicked.

Yesterday Val and I did a little scrapbooking and I did a 12" x 12" page using some cardstock from the My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary range and Bazzill French Vanilla. I'd like to say it all came together easily but it took me quite a while to get into the "zone". I went a bit nuts and stamped all over the Bazzill with some of my Autumn Leaves stamps to try and match the cardstock. I don't know if it worked or not but it's finished now anyway LOL. We also managed to scoff some chocolate biscuits and apple tarts while we scrapped and chatted - what's new I hear you say! The punch is my favourite deep edge heart punch by Martha Stewart and the buttons are a selection from PTI. The photo is of Jim and Laura and was taken at EPCOT in Florida in May 2008.

Off now to get some beauty sleep - I'm exhausted.

Till tomorrow.
