More blackberry picking

Here's the second layout which actually comes before the last one. This layout shows the kids picking the blackberries they did manage to find.




Kit:- Paislee Press and One Little Bird collab-Storyteller available from Oscraps

Caught in the rain!

Today's layout shows a photo of me and the kids when we decided to go blackberry picking. There is woodland at the back of our house and when we'd been for walks before we'd seen lots of blackberry bushes. This particular day was lovely and sunny but it soon changed. Half way round it went very dark and started to pour down. We stopped and tried to shelter under a tree but still got soaked. We didn't even find many blackberries!!!

A couple of layouts

Two layouts from me today each featuring photos from our Egypt holiday.
They are both from our Badawya trip. We spent the day doing some activities and visiting a Bedouin family.
The first is of us after we'd rode the camels. It was a little scary as I was slipping all over the place!



Kit:- Kim DeSmet Designs - Word art templates-Scattered available from OScraps

My second layout is of me and my husband again in our shemaghs. We had to wear these to stop all the sand getting into our noses and mouths when we were in the desert. The bottom photo is of the desert landscape.



Kit:- Ninascraps Designs - Blanchatre 2
Word Art:- Collab kit - Storyteller

Badawaya

Whilst in Egypt we went on a trip called Badawaya, it involved trying out quad bikes, spider jeeps and riding a camel!! We also visited a bedouin village to try out some of their bread and to see the very simple way they lived. In this photo we have just finished our camel ride. It's also one of my fav photos too.



Kit:- Cinzia Loosemore - Moments available at OScraps

New Puppy

We have now had our new puppy for 1 week, she is 9 weeks old now. What a bundle of mischief but we all love her so much. She is getting on really well with our other dog Milly who is 2 years old.

This layout is of Bailey exploring the garden for the first time. Aren't her eyes just gorgeous?



While wandering around the www I found out about a new digital craft mag called "Papers and Pixels". You just need to sign up and each month you receive a digital mag to download. It's for all sorts of crafters, scrapbookers, cardmakers etc. This month there is a free template to follow in a challenge. So I have used it for the layout.
