Back from a fab weekend !!!

We took a trip up to Blackpool and then on to the Lake District.. Oh my, the country side is beautiful. The lake district reminds me of the Natal Midlands in South Africa.


The kids took a run on the beach but not for long, it was way to cold and windy, and mother dear forgot to pack coats, can you believe it. I was so cross with myself.


All in all, great weekend, great time with my lovely family.

Digital Scrapbooking ....

I have not done any digital layouts for more than a year now. My friend Michelle has started designing her own elements so I thought it would be good to use one of her freebies. Oh and boy is she good at designing, her work is stunning. You can visit her site here.
I need to get the hang of PS again, so this layout is very basic, I literally just dragged and dropped the layers, I also battled a bit with getting the size of my background right. For some or other reason, PSE 6 does not work the same as PSE3. So I guess it is me and tutorials again!

Useless ...

I am a useless and rubbish blogger of late...life has just run away with me lately. I am currently battling with my commute to work. I get home at 7.30 pm. By the time we finish with dinner, it is bed time for the kids and then my second job in the form of house maid starts. Ironing needs to be done and dishes washed.
At the moment I just cannot justify sitting at the PC. Scrap time is also non existent at the moment. What I do intend doing though is some digi scrapping on the train on my way to work in the morning and on my way home, all I need to do is find my photoshop disk so I can load the software onto my laptop.

I did manage these though last month :)
