after a long time of not scrapping I have finally been making the most of some free time with the intention of using up some stash! Then I go and create an almost stash-free layout! Not a patterned paper in sight! Still I had been meaning to scrap this photo for a while and I still have mountains of stash to play with so all is not lost!

My darling son won't be best pleased at my posting this one, good job he doesn't check out my blog!!

this was the class that the lovely Ann did for us at the last Exhall crop - I'm afraid I didn't do the original justice but I had fun doing it all the same!

Kit was supplied by Sarah's cards but I added my own alphas

Remember I said.......

that I was going to be a better blogger this year? well I failed dismally!! Already June and I have so many old layouts that I still haven't shared.

Exclusive

ok tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be taken seriously!!

Oh and thanks to lee mack for the wine gum joke!!

Kraft card is definitely my favourite product at the moment!!

has it really been that long?

can't believe I haven't updated my blog for so long - apologies to anyone who takes the time to drop by - I promise to try harder in the future.

I have just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Sarah's cards retreat and still can't believe how good it was and how lovely everyone was! The effort behind the scenes was phenomenal - so much attention to detail to make sure everyone went home happy! The goody bags we received were jaw-droppingly brilliant and so generous! Sarah and Lianne and the design team really pulled out all the stops - you are all amazing!!

While I'm here I'll leave you with one of my latest layouts - really enjoyed doing this one, hope you like it!
