Hold on to your hats...

I've actually got some scrapping to share!!
I thought that seeing as I'm heading off to the Scrapbooking Expo next weekend I'd better show that I actually do scrap, albeit on rare occasions at the moment.
These layouts are actually from the Escape2Create retreat at the beginning of April, the girls have some fantastic challenge inspiration up this month, I really need to make some time to scrap some :)

Sadie you are a grot! and hate to be washed, most of the time you smell bad, but still you're pretty cute.

Dirty Dog was the last layout I made at the retreat, I was shuffling all the scraps left in front of me and then decided to just stick them down! I think there is maybe 2 pieces of double sided tape, the rest is held down with the masking tape and stitching. The D card and the retro star in the top left corner were in the awesome goodie bag- I love the quirky, interesting things the girls find.
And just to show that we aren't cruel and leave Sadie looking totally feral, heres a snap I took of her yesterday...

I love this layout, the papers are the Pink Paislee/House of 3 collaboration and they just make me smile. I journalled (hidden in the Maya Road envelope) late into the night after a few cocktails and its very deep, meaningful and completely over the top- but so very much me :) Another beautiful photo by the lovely dQ.

A killer smile thats for sure!

Ahhh...how could you not love this boy, I am seriously the luckiest Aunty :) I had a bit of an affair with 8 1/2 x 11 inch layouts at the retreat- nearly half of my layouts ended up this size...and most of them had dQ's photos on them!! I'm slightly disappointed with my journalling on this one, I think it would've looked more effective with printed journalling, but I'm too impatient for that kinda stuff.
How do you prefer to journal- handwritten or computer generated??
I still have a couple more layouts to share, but I might leave that till next week :)
Have a brilliant weekend,
xx Lauren
