Fun with Prima

After a mad, mad week at school - sports days and Bugsy production I decided for some scrapbook time out time! I used this months Prima Sketch and some photos from our last US Summer Trip to Maine.

I got carried away with the circle theme as you can see but I have had the heidi swapp chipboard circles for years - seems that it is good to hold on to your stash!

Displacement activity

One of the reasons I love Scrapbooking is that it is such a fab distraction to the more important things in life - well the things that involve looking after my family, earning my wage and keeping house! I admit that makes me a bit warped getting my priorites round the wrong way but the truth is the relaxation and pleasure I get from being creative ensures that WHEN I do get round to those other things I can approach them with a bit of gusto.

The Batch Clan are having a good week so far even though we are all swamped with STUFF! I managed to create a page last night using my favourite photo from the summer. I made some of the blooms using a scalloped punch, cut the scallops in to make the petals then used mounting foam for the centre with a smaller scalloped circle.

New Supplies

While I was away I recieved two big boxes of supplies - so with some of my more recent pics I have had fun playing!

Catching Up

I have been been a busy bee !! Back in UK for my knee operation which involves a long painful story of which the upshot is, I need a new knee; like I can just pop over to Debenhams and pick myself up one!!! Came back to Kuwait with Mum and Dad courtesy of BA Business Class, very nice !!! While I was a way getting cold and wet in not so sunny Cornwall the rest of the Batch clan went off To Phuket, Thailand for a week of sun!! How jealous was I! The girls survived Daddy Daycare ( and Night Care! ) and more to the point Batch survived them!

The LO opposite was made using some of their surfing shots-well beached whales BLESS! I kept with the beach theme and made it on some cardboard which got distressed ( very theraputic! ) The girls you'll notice got their hair braided Sienna looks like a very mini Bo Derek Ha ha!! I loved the shots Brad took of Sienna in the chair! Talk about lady of leisure!
