A Day at the Seaport and some work from the weekend

Yesterday mum Mum rang and said "it's a beautiful day...let's head to the Seaport for an ice-cream with the boys", and of course the answer is always going to be YES when ice-cream is involved. So I took a few pics of the event.

Here is Mum with the boys walking back from the coffee shop


And I just love this picture of Charlie hanging off the fencing along the walkway

Now onto some scrapping. This Layout is using the sketch provided by A Page from my Sketchbook, and these pictures are of Sara and I at the Mystical Scrapbook Retreat last October.

This is a Layout created for the Challenge set by Cookie over at the Mystical Scrapbook Cyber Crop this weekend. The criteria were: photo involving water, and an element of water showcased on the page...I chose to cut my paper into a wave form.

And finally, this layout was created during the Speed Scrap Challenge for the Cyber Crop. Sara provided us with a sketch, and we had to inculde a sumery photo and brad/buttons or bling. Here is the end result.

Had a wonderful "ME" day so far today. The boys have been in care since 10am and I zoomed off to town with BFF for some coffee and window shopping. It was nice just to get away and spend a bit of frivalous time doing 'nothing'...

Hope you all have a wonderful day....and remember I will be announcing the winner of the pack soon, so last chances to leave a comment to go into the draw for it.

Mystical Cyber Crop this weekend...it's all about SUMMER

Mystical are having there first Cyber Crop for 2009 and are celebrating Summer.

Sara Challenged us to use certain colours from a pallet, and use summery picures. Here is my layout which I used the January Roadmaps Sketch for and my Wicked Princess Warlock Kit


Kells Challenged us to use outdoor elements on our page ( i used leaves, flowers and a butterfly), Distressing techniques (HS distressing and inking), and outdoors pictures. Here is my layout for the challenge. I also decided to use a Pagemaps sketch for this one.

Cookie has set a watery themed challenge, I am really hoping to get to, as I have loads of beach photos to scrap.

Have a great scrappy weekend!!!!!!!!!
