More Variety Than A Bakery!

Over the past 18 months I have baked all the sweet treats for the kids (and Russ and I!). All the biscuits, slices, cake, muffins and more. I really do love the baking and the kids love pitching in to help out too.

I always get a big thumbs up from Caitlin... as seen here lol...



And they love the variety they get. From Sweet Weetbix Slice to 3 different types of biscuits to choose from, they say it's better than a bakery! It's all good... all low in fat... and the best bit, no additives or preservatives.

The Seasoned Scrapper - Summer - Week 6

This weeks challenge was set by Tracy Wyldman. We had to use a line from Billy Thorpes song 'It's Almost Summer'.

Here's my sample...

52 buttons, and every single one of them sewn on!

The Seasoned Scrapper - Summer - Week 5

Deanne set the challenge for week 5 which was to make some cards inspired by summer colours. I took it one step further and also added summer foods to each one of my cards.

But Wait! There's More!

Even more layouts using Loire Valley... and I can feel some cards coming on with the scrappy bits I have left over!

I just love love love this range!

Loire Valley = Gorgeous Layouts!

I've been on a Loire Valley rampage over the last week. I have been so surprised at how versitile this range has been, and how many things I have been able to create with it. I've used it for layouts across the board and on many different themes and it just seems to work.

Here I've used it to scrap a photo of William ready for his Easter Hat Parade at pre-school last year. I really loved the photo of him, but the background was a drab wall of nothingness. Not being a digi girl I wasn't really sure how to fix the problem... then I thought, and thunk, and thought some more and bingo...

Solution! Grab a dart or other sharp implement and scratch the background away! I love the way it makes William POP out of the photo.

Don't be scared to attack your photos I say... they are so cheap to get printed and you might just love yourself sick once you've done something a bit crazy!
