Scrapping with Friends

I spent a lovely day scrapping at The Eternal Maker yesterday with Jan and Jackie and, for once, not an ounce of chocolate passed our lips! We did the usual amount of gossiping and a little scrapping, too. I completed a page for the UK Scrappers monthly challenge.

We were challenged to use this colour pallette. The grey, pink and white were easily included but I did struggle with the green element. Luckily we were only asked to ‘sneak’ them all in so I definitely snuck in the green with the writing on the journalling card. :o)

My page is a scraplift of the lovely layout done by Chris which you can see by clicking the BBs’ Scraplifts tab at the top of the blog.

How gorgeous are these photos of Sophia and Leo taken by their dad? I couldn’t wait to scrap them!

London 2012

I can’t believe how hooked I have been by the Olympics. I have no interest whatsoever in sport but it has been a fantastic fortnight for our country and I have loved every minute of it.  I shouted and shouted when Mo Farah ran that amazing 5000 metres. His face was a picture on the winning line. And who wasn’t in tears at the dressage or Tom Daley’s final dive? How exciting was the rowing? Yes, rowing!

We gave up on trying to get tickets and took our chance on Tuesday for a good view of the triathlon. We weren’t disappointed. Mum, Marilyn and I had a perfect spot in front of Buckingham Palace and cheered the Brownlee brothers to gold and bronze medals. The atmosphere was brilliant.

I have a mountain of photos to scrap and here’s the first of them for the weekly challenge at UK Scrappers.

New home card

 

My nephew James, who recently graduated as a teacher, has moved into his first home with his lovely girlfriend, Lizzie. I went to their house warming party yesterday. Here’s the card I made for them.

The buttons, twine and flowers are from Purple Pumpkin.
