May as well while I can!

Blog that is. I seem to have lots of 10-minute pockets of time at the moment, so I may as well update my blog while I can. I did another two LOs yesterday, using my Scrapagogo July kit. I love this kit. I mean, I love them all, but this one is great, mainly because the colours are so interesting. You know me, I am really into bright LOs but I would never think to buy papers in navy, green and red. Not really. The bunting is so trendy at the moment (it was I who set the trend, though, having had bunting in my conservatory and Cam's room for several years! Ooooh, I feel a LO coming on!!), and I've already done a few LOs with bunting. The first LO is scraplifted from a LO in Scrapbook Trends (Spring 2010, p19, Stephanie Howell). It just caught my eye, mainly because it was a two photo LO and I struggle with multi-photos, and thinking of a title Jon said why didn't I just give it the same title, so I changed it to be Oh To Be Bella. And Oh to be Bella indeed! Stroppy, funny, happy, uninhibited, confident, bossy......yep sorry I am describing Bella not me!! I hate my handwriting but thought I'd give it a go, but when I came to digging out my white pens, they'd all dried up. So even better I used up a load of rub-ons. I am quite pleased with this LO, although it's not my usual style. The second LO I do like. I have stamped on the cardstock with white ink, which is subtle but I really like the effect.
I sorted through my photos last night and am struggling to find any more which grab me, so I think I may have a break for a day or two and start on my next project, this box frame. Rach, Deb and I all bought one (although actually I didn't know what I was buying I just said I'd have one as they were getting one each!!), so we've made it a little challenge. I am planning on making something for Maddies new room.
Speaking of Maddie, that poor tooth fairy must be almost bankrupt!!! She lost her 5th tooth yesterday. Cam is getting sooooo annoyed!!! Also, we had some very good news regarding her yesterday, which I'll love to share with you in a day or two when I have a bit more information ;)
Thanks for looking!!!

Just love the Oh To Be Bella LO. I've not even opened my July or June kit yet!

In need of some new photos, just need some nice weather to go somewhere with a good view! oh and also to wear the kids out, they are full of energy but I am totally worn out, just wish it was the other way round.

the Bella layout is great - I love that line of rub ons. I will have to try that some time. Great way to use up stash. And the other one is of course lovely too.
As for Maddie's missing teeth - she must be struggling to eat!!! Sweet!
I must get on with using up the kits...
