Everyday Stories – I’m a big kid

Morning all & a lovely Sunday to you. I hope you’ve all had a nice weekend so far, I spent yesterday at the local crop & got loads done & I feel the urge to get loads of crafting done today as well so it looks as though it’s going to be a productive weekend.

I have another layout from my Everyday Stories series to share with you today. I’ve only recently cut into my November/December Quirky Kit as the papers were so lush that I didn’t just want to rush in & start chopping at such pretty paper. I also used the Simple Recipes Challenge set by Quirky Kits on UKScrappers – which was to use pinks & browns.

ES Big Kid

I’m using Kraft cardstock all through this album to keep some continuity for the project. I also used a Polaroid on this (I only have a few left now) All of the papers & the large bright pink ribbon are from my Quirky Kit & the embellishments, alphas & other ribbons are from my own stash.

The photo was taken on Christmas Eve this year, I did have heels on but after 10 minutes I gave up & put my sheepskin boots back on (I’m a comfy person). The journaling reads: I’m like a big kid when it comes to Christmas. Christmas is magical to me, I love the whole thing, the atmosphere, the dinner, family & friends. I’m 31 & still get excited at Christmas.

I’m still loving the A4 thing, I know I keep going on about it but I can’t believe that I’ve been crafting for nearly 6 years & have just tried it!

Well that’s all from me for today, Don’t forget to check out the new lessons over on Craft Academy & Crafty Kids Academy & you still have time to enter the challenge over on the Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog, it ends at midnight tonight.

Thanks for stopping by & taking the time to leave lovely comments, it’s always much appreciated.

Take care,stay snug.

This is fabulous Claire ... I LOVE your whole A4 thing too ... but I am more of a square girl myself ... is n't that funny? Who knew the shapes of our pages would matter when we started!

I really like the A4 size too and am planning to do more los at that size this year. Your take on the simple recipe colours works really well.

I had a sense of deja vu when I saw that photo-I really do have the feeling I've seen it before. Love the layout-I'm doing A4 too!

Love it Clare. A friend gave me some of the A4 page protectors but I havent yet done a page although I have one planned in my head. Well done on cutting into your quirky kit - I started a layout at the crop on Sunday with mine - it was a lush kit :)
