Some belated scrapping pages

I made ten scrap pages over a month ago and I still haven't got around to showing them to you. Bad, bad blogger! I thought I would just show five today, as it would have been a very long post. It was the most productive scrap day I have ever had and I am hoping to repeat it this Saturday at scrap club. I have found that I need to plan each layout before I go, so I do normally work from sketches and get all my papers and embellishments ready before I go, that way I can just crack on when I get there.
I have been wanting to do a layout about my cupcake craving for sometime and when I picked up this lovely cupcake paper at Ally Pally I knew I had to get it done. I own so many things with cupcakes on, that they are taking over the household.
I am still desperately trying to get my holiday album finished before I go on holiday again. This picture shows a game called Musical Pick Me Ups, which is similar to musical chairs, only you have to pick the child up. I feel terrible about this game, as I dropped my child first round and I was the only one to drop a child. However, she was a rather tall child and there wasn't a lot of weight difference between us, so it was a bit ambitious on my part.

This one really hasn't come out that clear, so I do apologise for the quality of the picture. It is showing us having fun around the pool. I am very into orange and green at the moment, such fabulous summer colours.
This is a double layout I did, which I have shown individually below. Whilst on holiday, the girls got a little bit sunburnt, which is something they have never got before, so we spent a day out of the sun and stopped at a little bar which is situated out in the sea.
The cocktail embellishments are 3D and were prefect for this layout.
I hope to show the rest of my layouts next week. Thanks for stopping by.

  3. You are so creative! A friend of mine makes cards similar to this and she keeps inviting me to "come play" - I want to see if I can create some bookmarks.

  5. OH - I was so excited to see the title of this post. I have wanted to see more of your layouts. They are all so lovely - but I particularly enjoy the double page spread. VERY nice indeed :)

    I was so excited to scrapbook at the beginning of the summer and purchased all kinds of supplies, and then life happened :( I am hoping to print off a few of the 1,000+ photos I took this weekend and create a few pages before school starts again.

    Let's keep each motivated on our writing projects during the month of July - shall we?

  7. Carmen - it is the first time it has ever happened. I have never done that many pages before.

    JoAnn - Thank you.

    Bermudaonion - book marks are a fabulous place to start. Not too much paper to fill to begin with.

    Molly - I find scrapbooking is like writing, I find lots of excuses to do neither one and then when I get started I can't stop. I was talking about your writing project this morning. I have a seperate storyline from the present one I am writing and I am tempted to do that through July, just need a couple of extra days to prepare it though. Are you on Facebook?

    Kaye - thank you.

  9. These look great but of course now I want a cupcake :)

    I think you've mentioned this before but I forgot, do your girls also scrap with you?

    I used to belong to a artsy club and we'd meet up once a month and work and projects and do round robins and that was tons of fun. I need to find another like that!
