keep shut @ the War rooms

Last Easter we took a trip to London and visited the Cabinet War Rooms in Whitehall, the underground offices used during the World War Two blitz. There are two photos on this page, one of them is a sign painted on the wall and the other is Stanley posing with a fake cigar like Winston Churchill.

This is Life

A scrap lift of a LO I saw somewhere . I apologise as aim hopeless at recording where my ideas come from. I tend to copy and paste into a power point and then print off as a handout for inspiration ideas without recording where they have come from.

When we were in Belgium last year for our summer holiday we visited Ghent. There were letters alongside the canal and luckily enough there wer letters S, A and N for each of my children so we, of course, made them pose next to their initial.

Lekker Isje

this LO is from our May holiday to Zeeland. We visited a little town called Veere that we had never been to before and had the most delicious ice cream ( well four of us did Arthur decided he wanted a slush from the shop down the road.). The title means delicious Ice cream,in Dutch,  in case you were wondering.

In the Dunes

A quick LO from our trip to the Netherlands in the May holiday. The beaches have wonderful dunes at the back so I took a picture of Nancy in the long grass on the dunes while the boys played cricket on the beach.

cheeky Gibralter Monkey

When we visited Gibraltar we had to go up the rock and visit the monkeys. They were exceedingly cheeky at the top of the rock, stealing bags and food from the visitors. I took this picture of Nancy with one in the background, she wouldn't get any nearer as she was petrified of them.

Hoot- Mini Golf

i have loved being on the design team for From Screen to Scrap- there have been such great challenges but at the momnet Shazza has decided to mothball the site for a while while life intervened as it always does.

This then is my last LO for From Screen to Scrap, at least for a while, the poster for inspiration is Hoot. the only requirement this last time is to get an owl on your page somewhere

With You - where the Streets Have No Name

The summer holidays are here at Scrap it With a Song and there are a number of holiday themed songs coming up this month for you to get inspired by. The first song is by U2 - where the streets have no name.

The song title inspired me to use a map paper and then I used the line "only to be with you" . You can just about see Arthur in the background of the photo. The photo is from our summer holiday in Belgium last year. I love the fact that on the continent jars are designed to be reused after. They come in the shape of a drinking glass and these ones had Smurfs on - perfect for a jar of mustard.
