said Elizabeth, talking about when she grows up
Now that made my internal smile light up
More on that later
Yesterday, before we got Jessica, I took the girls to visit the recycle shop
I found 2 packets of gorgeous OLD buttons
1 packet contained covered buttons and I had a play with them last night
While I waited for Dave to arrive home from soccer training
I was also itching to have a play with some new stamps I had found on Etsy, from seller Pretty Tape
Love the doily pattern
Would love this pack of stamps for that reason too :) :)
I also got some of the yummy paper tape, but more on that later too :)
See the flower??
I see that Prima have released the same sort, with the frosty/glass glaze, I bought these from Lincraft lastyear and they are distributed by Sullivans, wonder if they are actually the same flower… just wondering :)
Also yesterday I picked up this tag, also from the recycle shop, it was a little more weathered than the ones I had so it seemed perfect to take home and put through the trusty typewriter :)
The alpha stickers are Studio Calico :)
So back to the Elizabeth’s When-I-Grow-Up comment
This morning all the girls scrapped
I had printed off a few photos for each of them and we took over the dining table
I even had the chance to start a page while they did their thing
They all made 4 pages, except Lucy who did 3
I was amazed at how well this scrap session went
I think that they have all, finally, got the hang of the whole paper/sticker thing and were quite happy to do their own thing without any help
I’m happy with that too :)
So the page I started, and then finished later
Yesterday we found a lizard in the sunroom
It was one we hadn’t seen before so I did some googling and found out what type it was
A Mountain Dragon
Pretty cool name!
The journaling
is on some of my new orange paper tape
And you can also see the orange spotty tape I used, here
and final photo, lol
The other half of the doily I used a while back on the Baby Shower Day card, doily from Jodie on etsy :)
Today we also had a visit from a friend and her 2 boys
She also stayed for dinner so it was good catching up with her
Today is also the 2nd last Friday before school goes back
Which means it’s the 2nd last weekend
Boo Hoo
That's so cool that your girls scrap with you :-) I look forward to that day! (at the moment Maddison is more interesting in either picking the 'pretty' bits off my LO's or adding to them with whatever pen or pencil she happens to find!) Your girls will have very neat albums to look back on when they are our age hehehee :-)
ReplyDeletehow fun is that they scrap! pretty pages too... please tell them I said that :) I'm jealous of your recycle shop. Jealous. Get it? LOL.
