Experimenting with new layouts

After six weeks away in Lanzarote with Stacey, Kev and Cala, I have new-found inspiration and have been busy making some new layouts for Easter.  The kits I've used are from Lily Designs and Emeto Designs, both of which you can buy from After 5 Designs.  Easter has come around so quickly this year - can't believe it's Good Friday tomorrow already.   I'm rather pleased with the results of these layouts - they took a while, but were worth the effort.

Weather in UK is dismal once again - was lovely when I got back last week, but now it's grey, cold and we have the prospect of wintry showers to follow - what a difference to the 30c temperatures I was enjoying in Lanzarote.  I can't even show my tan off, sniff....  Ciao for now.

The Birthday Party tag!

Another tag combining the fab talents of Lily Designs (scrapkit), and Suzanne Woolcott - it's called simply, 'The Birthday Party' and you can request it now at SS - it won't be posted on the forum till Monday!  Hope everyone's enjoying the fab weather - I spent the day gardening, more from necessity than choice but at least my lawn's less like a wilderness now.  Planning to have a bar-b-q tomorrow which, by default, will probably mean it will be raining come 5pm - don't you just love the British weather! (and that's rhetorical, btw).  Off to play Google logo Pacman again - I'm so easily entertained, lol. Ciao for now!

It's been a while since I had anything significant to blog about, so thought I'd post this latest photo of Cala, who turned 11 weeks old yesterday (7th May). I know she looks a little startled in the picture, but Stacey assures me she was all smiles and giggles right up until the shutter clicked - typical eh! Anyway, this is Cala with her very favourite teddy, nicknamed Juno, after my Mum (June).

I have also been busy adding more pages to Cala's photo album - it now has 25 pages and I still haven't used half of the photos I took when we were in Lanzarote!  Here are a couple of the new layouts:

It's hard to stick to just one theme, as I have so many new and beautiful scrapkits to choose from - but I hope they all work in their own way.  I used a combination of layout artists this time - Lily Designs and SussieM Designs, both absolutely awesome artists, I think you'll agree! I'm also very excited about a new artist I've discovered, whose work I hope to feature in some tags very soon - I just need to save up some money to buy the kits, lol.  Here is a sample of her amazing work:

That's all from me for now - ciao!!!
