Happy Birthday Mum and CHA

Hello again,

So I have been in the US for the past 3 weeks, which has been totally amazing. One of my darling daughters and I headed over to Las Vegas for 3 days to go to CHA  and then we traveled down to Arizona to spend some time with my Mum as she is turning 50 this year. So far we have had a blast, we still have 2 weeks here and are heading to LA to go to Disney Land before we come home.

Here are a few photos of the trip so far along with a Vintage Dress Form I made for my Mum as part of her Birthday prezzie

You are my Sunshine.... *Class at The Scrap Cottage*

Hi there Scrappy people,

I am here today to share a layout I designed for The Scrap Cottage

I created this vintage inspired layout of my eldest daughter when she was little (and my only sunshine). I have used the very sweet Bo Bunny Prairie Chic collection and incorporated tea saints and ink splatters to add texture and interest to the background and finished it off with a stunning Twiddleybitz chippy frame, The Scrap Cottage pick n mix flowers and a cute little Prima resin bird

Glad you popped by, hope to see you again soon
Happy Scrappin
