Isn't she lovely?!

Yep - another 'little' layout from me - I'm actually starting to enjoy this scrapping lark - but shhh, don't tell the other stampers, I'll be voted off the island! lol


Yep - yet another one of my little cutie.... my poor son, all the pics of him from this age are old film ones, and they aren't very good either...and he's at that really awkward gangly age now, and anytime a camera is pointed at him he 'smiles' this grimace rolleyes.... so another "rubba muncha" pic it is (I must tell you the story behind that nickname someday!)

The colours in this aren't very true - I'm kinda 'scanner-challenged' so hopefully will be able to take a pic and upload tomorrow that is better. This has been done using the new Office range that is in the MINI catalogue (available Aug1) - the background and torn edge section are from the Notations DS papers, and the "original" stamp is from the Office Accoutrements set - I'm loving these! I've also used a couple of the self adhesive die cuts from the Accents & Elements tin - this has a TON of these in it, and all in a cute little tin as well wink.

Cardstock colours used are Lavender Lace and So Saffron, the chipboard accents are from the On Board Accents pack in the main IB&C, and the quote on the vellum is from the Friendship Flowers set. And I've discovered the absolute BEST adhesive for vellum - it doesn't show through AT ALL.... it's the SU Anywhere Glue Stick!!! Yep a glue stick - the advantage to this one is its rectangular shape so it gets in all the corners without making a huge mess of your workspace.

And of course it wouldn't be complete without my fave tool of the moment - the snot sucker - oops, the Colour Spritzer! And yep - that's more spritzing that what I would like - but the kids 'helped' me with it, and I just couldn't redo it, especially after all the help that Patrick gave mebiggrin.

All products used are Stampin' Up! and are available through me, just drop me an email at auntytraci@hotmail.com.

July Stampin' Up! promo

JUST ADD WATER

July's Promotion from Stampin' Up! is a fantastic one - I'm really excited.

For every $50 you spend with me this month, you can get 25% off a colour family of Watercolour Wonder Crayons, or the Watercolour Pencils. This brings the crayons back down to the price they were in the last catalogue, but in the individual colour family tins!

This means the price of the colour family tins of crayons with the discount comes down to $29.21, the neutral crayons to $14.21, and the Watercolour Pencils to $28.46!
What a great opportunity to get started on having some great colouring fun!
