Eek, sorry I've left another big gap!! I've just been so busy with work that I haven't had time to be creative in a scrapping sense. Mind you, I have completed one project for Scrapbook Sisters. I'm really enjoying doing some different things lately.
Anyway, this LO uses a Heidi Swapp mask and Ranger paints, alonside Fancy Pants papers. I used the bright blue and green to reflect the colours in Josh's outfit, and meant I could use flowers to represent summer while keeping it more masculine!

Bunny Love
Well, half way through another week! It has been glorious sunshine here for the last few days but some clouds seem to be creeping in now. They are forecasting rain for the weekend, in which case I will have no excuse for not doing some more scrapping :-D Have been putting it off as I have a lot of work to do on my placement (much more paperwork than at my usual school) so have been slacking a bit on the hobbies side.
To counteract that, though, I am in a play. It's a new one-act play written by Neil Thorne, and it's being entered into the Duncan Rand Festival - the last time I did the festival it was my last year in the Youth section, ten years ago - eek!! It's really interesting, and for the first time I'm playing the older female character in the cast - starting to feel my age now, lol!
Anyway, onto today's layout: this is the second LO I made using the May Carolinez Craftz kit, and I put it together at Scrap Attack, a week and a half ago. I cut the paisley shape out and played around with other bits before I ended up with this, a result that I'm really pleased with.

Say Cheese
It has been another busy weekend and finally, today, the sun has come out!
Yesterday we went to Sophie's mum's new house for a tea party for Oscar. Poor little thing wasn't feeling 100% so it seems that Amelia started a tradition for being poorly at your first birthday party, lol!
Today we went out for a walk and took our bottles to the bottle bank - was lovely to get out and about for a bit, even if I did have to come home and write the theatre newsletter. But that's now as complete as it can be for now, and I'm going to go and play with my new DT kit in a minute.
This LO was based on a sketch from the old Carolinez Craftz blog, A Spoonful of Sprinkles. I used Two Scoops for the first time, and am really pleased with how it's come out. Yes, I did add tissue paper under the bottom photo, just for the hell of it!

So Sweet
Sorry I haven't blogged for a few days but I'm just getting used to my new routine! Been searching for inspiration to plan a Year 8 English top set scheme of work on films. Luckily I did get inspired and have some ideas to run past their normal teacher tomorrow!
I've also got a part in a one-act play written by a guy from RaTS, which is being entered into the Duncan Rand festival in July. The part isn't too big and it's only a one act play so it should keep me busy enough, but not too much so!
This LO is one I've been playing with for over a month but I'm pleased I ended up keeping it simple as I love the photo!

So Alike
The weather today hasn't been great, so aside from gonig shopping this morning we stayed in for most of the day. We did take mum and dad out for a meal this evening, though, to thank them for paying for Legoland.
This LO is all about Mark and Oscar. The photos were taken when Oscar was only a few months old but they are some of my favourites. I also got out my old Junkitz papers and finally used some of the boy range!
