Long time, no see

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted! Well Venice and Rome were awesome places to visit with lots of Wow! moments. I took Molly's (my dd) Instax camera with me and took some photos everyday which then went into my travel journal along with ticket stubs and receipts.



This was fun to do and will be doing it again in January when we go to Paris. I've told Rob I want an Instax mini for Christmas so it'll get lots of use!!


I'm still working my way through my photos of Lanzarote, and putting them in my big album, and as I was left home alone last night I managed to have a play and completed 2+ layouts. The first one was a scrap lift from Pinterest and I'm really happy how it turned out as there were 3 photos I wanted to get onto the same page.


I used my SU chevron punch then placed a piece of patterned paper behind to show through. The cut outs were then glued/ foam mounted alongside. I used a stippling brush to ink on some of the edges to give a soft injection of colour and used a rub on camera to fill the space under the photos.


The stamps were from a Studio Calico kit and also the acetate capital letters.

The second layout was a mismatch of a few ideas I've seen that I experimented with and sort of threw together to make quite a fun layout!

The acetate letters are, again, from Studio Calico as well as the wash tape.

I've now got the photos from Italy on order and can't wait to start on those so need to get the Lanzarote ones finished! I'm almost there and as Rob is off helping a friend out this morning what better time for getting sticky!!

See you soon :)  x
