dirt girl

I made his LO ages ago but did not get round to posting the picture. I found a pattern for tiny envelopes and made three to align with the side of the photo.

little things

Over at scrap it with a Song we each have a month to choose a song for our team. It's my month in February and our theme is Love. I'm in the Pop Girls team so I needed to choose a pop love song. What could be more pop than One Direction? My daughter is obsessed with One Direction so it had to be one of their songs. I chose Little things because here was a lot of scope in the lyrics and really they are quite lovely themes in there.

I chose the line " joining up the dots with the freckles on your face" to make a LO that showed of Nancy's beautiful freckles.

adventure awaits

I love using my project life cards on 12x12 LOs. This LO has a photo of Arthur standing in the sand dunes at the back of the beach on our summer holiday last year. I thought the Adventure Awaits card mad a great title.

NYC Subway

This LO is for Shimelle's sketch number 32. It uses two photos offset at the side of the page. I used two photos of the New York subway. One inside the carriage and one on the platform. The colours of the photos went perfectly with the colours of the papers.

This Is my LO for Shimelle's sketch 33. The sketch puts a photo centre stage but I have used paper and the title to offset things slightly. I had to use a piece of my Hambly overlay on this. Last week I caught Nancy cutting into it! So my plan to use it as a whole was ruined. Serves me right for trying to save it for a special occasion!

Favourite things blog hop

Well if you've arrived here you've arrived at the end of the Child's Play Blog hop. If you haven't started at the beginning you can get there here.

The favourite thing I have scrapped about is my daughter's favourite present from last year. She loves her roller skates, she wears them round the house on our wooden floors and loves to pull back the rugs and skate across the floors. She has even been seen watching TV standing on them ( the photo you can see in the picture)

Some of us are offering a little prize on the blog hop. Leave a comment here and I will send one person a  selection of Project Life cards. I will pick a winner at the end of the month.
So now you need to go back to the beginning and let us know you've visited all the stops. use our ideas as inspiration and you could be winning a prize form Child's Play. Get back the the beginning here.

Liberty

On our trip to New York we were amazingly lucky with the weather- the skies were vibrant blue as you can see with this photo of the Statue of Liberty. For this LO I used an embellishment I had with the subway map on it. It is stuck down very carefully so the tickets can be slotted in behind without sticking them down- in case I want to get them out ever.

special delivery

Over the Summer, when Prince William and Kate had their baby, Prince George, Nancy drew a picture and sent it to Buckingham Palace. In return she got a lovely thank you card in a special envelope postmarked Buckingham Palace.

the view project life seven

Another LO with a project life card slotted behind the pictures.
This LO is about the view from the gala dinner we went to in New York. It was held on the 40th floor of World Trade building seven in the New York Academy of Science.  We arrived before sunset so we had great views of New York by day and night. The pictures showthe Wollworth Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and Trinity Church.

sunset

This week the challenge at Scrap it With a Song is Payphone by Maroon 5. The line I used as inspiration is the line " even the sun sets in paradise." . I used an Instagram picture of the sunset on our summer holiday last year. The sky was amazing after a scorching hot day in Belgium.

best seats project life 6

This LO has a large project life card behind the photo mixed with some other journaling card items in similar colours.  When my children visit the cinema their absolute favourite place to sit is the back row, right in the middle across the aisle.

me and the ants project life 5

 

This LO only has one Project Life card on it tucked behind the paper and photos. 

The photo is from Twycross Zoo toilets. Yes the toilets. They have a mirror in front of the sinks as usual but the mirror is behind a leaf cutter ant house. So when you look in the mirror the ants are in front of you. I could not resist a photo.

Drenthe project life week 4

For this LO I used seven project life cards and placed them in a pattern across the page with a 3x4 photo in the mix too. I round the corners so it fitted with the cards. Three of the cards have added embellishments, one has the title and another the journalling

Como project life week 3

More Project life cards. This time I layered two together and then embellished over the top with the title on. The photo is also matted onto a project life card.

face paint project life week 2

I am trying to use up some of my Project Life cards and mini card papers because I am very unlikely to actually have time for a whole project life album. This LO uses three cards with a cut down picture of Nancy in her face paint

NYC love project life week 1

A really quick LO with part of the view from the Rockerfeller Plaza.

share the umbrella

This LO is for the latest challenge at Scrap it With a Song. This week it is Freiens by Aura Dione. I chose the line"sharing a raincoat in the wind" as my inspiration. I used a photo of two of my children sharing an umbrella in the rain- as close as I could get to sharing a rain coat in the wind. Nancy is wearing a rain coat as well to tie in with the lyric. This month the design team are all using digital images on our LOs as well. I used the little bear with a heart which I printed into coloured paper and then stuck onto foam tape.
