Summer Memories

Happy Tuesday

I am here today to share with you a mini photo album

Our Granddaughter spent a lot of her summer holidays with us and we made lots and lots of fun memories.

Whilst she was here a few weeks back I had just finished my second album 

Belle Papillon

Felicity absolutly fell in love with it so I decided to make her one of our time together this Summer, yes we had lots of rain but we donned our fashion wellies and smiled through it.

The papers I have used throughout are from the lovely collection

Dollie Daydream Goes East

They were absolutly perfect for my project

The same as last time I made a little box cover for my album

That pretty butterfly was from the Dollie collection, the little frame was a Hobbycraft buy , quite cute ,I think there was about 8 in a pack

I was so pleased how vibrant it all looked.

The cover of my album, that flowery paper, I really had forgotten how good this collection was.

I used another of the butterflies and a couple of lanterns just to finish 

This day we spent at our local carnival

Sea Life center was a day Felicity spent with her Mummy, they popped to Southampton for a few days.

The beautiful Nautical Ocean Embellies Oh my word I love these you can find them here they really the cutest ever!

The mixed vintage buttons can be found here

This Cherry Blossom die makes the perfect seaweed

A day at the beach with Mum

I have used some elements here from Starfish and Sandcastles Collection

Just look at that fun crab!

I have also used stamps from the collection

Wish You Were Here

The Panda is from Dollie collection he just sort of sits perfectly in the corner of my page

For Mr Giraffe I have attached a magnet to the bottom of the page so he keeps the photo's in place

Amos Rock Hunting!! Now this was really something else and we had hours of fun and walking with this one (and to this day it still carries on)

Around our town and local areas some painted rocks were hidden. The idea is that you search for these rocks , take a photo and pop it on the Facebook page and then either re hide the rock or make one of your own and hide that - This really has been so much fun , seeking out new walks and parks .

A little bit of sunshine, a paddling pool , an ice lolly and a huge smile

What more could one ask for?

Ton's of fun at the Safari Park

This is a huge farm not far from where we live , We now have an annual membership as it's such a great place to visit ~ If you see the moving photo's below and wonder ...... Milkshake is the name of the Pony that Felicity rides.

The frame die is from Polkadoodles I just cut in half

Totally love this page ~ All about Family and Pets

Unconditional Love

Belle Papillon Mini Album

Happy Monday ~ What a busy weekend I have had , the Granddaughter came to stay and as ever we cram as much fun in as we possibly can.

Anyway after making my first mini album last month , I decided on another

This time being more adventurous with pockets and adding lots more detail

and even its own little box

I mainly used Belle Papillon to decorate

It is so beautiful, romantic with lots of nostalga

I thought carefully about each page but once I knew what I wanted with this collection it was very easy

You can find Belle Papillon here

I firstly decorated the box adding some lush lace a tag, some wooden keys that I painted up using slightly sparkly paints I love them and the lovely sentiment

*Create the greatest memories*

I have also used lots of Polkadoodles dies in making this

and also Paper pads

Bella Fleur & Belle Papillon

Both can be found here (beautiful papers)

My Album has lots of pages and as my phone is ancient and no good for videos 

I have put together some moving pictures of the pages and there elements

A close up of the tags I made using Distress Oxides

and using the stamp sets 

Wish you were here

The next page you can find a little tag

 and then all the goodies needed for Gingerbread

Then we have a carol

You can never have too many tags right?
