Jumping forward to July (almost)

Oops. Big lapse again. Seriously work just went completely nuts recently and so has life. Hardly spent a weekend at home, only just got round to some proper scrapping today.

What have we missed? Can't remember. I did my Race for Life in May, 35 mins to do the 5km which I was very happy with as I hate running. Raised over £400 too which is fab.

Work has been busy but going well, had lots of late stays and early mornings, so just been too tired to do much else. Also done a fair bit of shopping, which has left me slightly broke at the moment!

I'm enjoying that is finally warm, even if it is still only for a few days then back to October weather again...

So here are some of my layouts from the last couple of months, I'm sorry to say I can't remember anything else to report because my memory sucks...

Oh, I know something big! I've just been published again in SBI mag, June issue though so prob not in the shops now... Done the Ready Steady Scrap challenge which was pretty good fun! Will do some scans to post!

Just for the record, this is my fave layout of the moment... Done last night I like that I managed to mix some completely different paper ranges. It was influenced by a sketch and I'm feeling very pleased with it!

Cropping crazy

Loads more layouts to show, although getting a bit cranky with my scanner always cutting out the edges of layouts and making them look wonky (ok, so some might be originally wonky, but not to the extent the scanner makes it...)

Went cropping today with Juli, Sam and co, had a good laugh. Was very productive with 7 layouts done. Noticing a trend that all my layouts recently have been double ones, its making a nice dent in the big stack of photos and my stash!

More layouts!

More layouts from my holiday last year to show, some use bits of new stash from yest, but mostly using up old stuff which is good! Also tried printing my journaling straight onto cardstock which was a new thing for me!

Stash shopping!!!

Well, I went to the Alexandra Palace today and bought loads of yummy stash! Woo! Also met up with Kate which was a good laugh. We had fun chatting/joking about stalking with Shimelle and then there was a bit of chaos while we tried to pose 'nicely' for a photograph!

Back again

Wow, more than one post in a week, blimey!

Got some Easter pics to show and a few layouts from the last few weeks :) Went shopping today with my mum, she got me a Body Shop voucher for my birthday so I enjoyed spending that! Also got two new tops, its amazing as I used to hate shopping, and now I probably have more clothes than ever... oops.

Also thought I'd post some of my self portrait attempts for the painting with light class I'm doing, and a layout for Shimelle's 'No Place Like Home' class.
