The Countdown Begins…

It’s the first of May!  In exactly one calendar month I will be jetting off to Turkey for a week in the sun!  It will be just what I need to recharge the ol’ batteries & get some colour into my pasty winter skin!

5 BirkenstocksHaving lost a bit of weight I’m not shopping for holiday clothes as so much more in my wardrobe is fitting me better!! BUT…I have invested in a new pair of Birkenstocks!

The soles of these are definitely non-slip, so hopefully I shouldn’t need to travel home in a wheelchair, unlike my last holiday in Turkey!!!

As it's the first of the month I also have some scrappy projects to share…

3 Jacky's LO to lift for 1st May 

  Firstly, for the lovely Dawns
  ‘Chinese Whispers’. The LO I
  received from Jacky for this
  months lift was this one...

 

  …& this is what I did with it…

It’ a photo of Alex that I have scrapped before, but I had an extra print & was pleased to use it!  I had fun with the pinwheels, which I used instead of the buttons on Jacky’s LO.

1 Memento Movie PosterSecondly, this months poster challenge over at ‘From Screen 2 Scrap’ is for the movie ‘Memento’ & the added criteria to include are…

1. White cardstock
2. Black Title
3. One or more photo’s to be in
    ‘polaroid’ style.



Here is my LO…

2 Cool Skid Lid!

I used photo’s of Nathan, taken on trip to ‘Toys R Us’ in 2010, where he tried on a skaters helmet for a laugh….I quite liked it, but it wasn’t ‘Cool’ enough for him!!   It would be lovely to see you join in with this months challenge…I had fun with it!!

Cat AssemblyI’ll leave you with something that made me smile this week…

 

…thanks for stopping by & come back soon! Open-mouthed smile

I love that look with the big photo and the smaller ones! Very nifty indeed. Those look like very nifty sandals too. Comfy and great to look at
