I'll Never forget how Perfect you are

This layout was created using inspiration from a layout I saw on Pintrest, I used the  Crete paper Maggie Holmes dreamy background paper. Also a selection of odd patterned paper I had in my stash including a jar cut from some Dear Lizzie paper embellished with glitter twine buttons and pins. I love this photograph taken of my husband Chris kissing our baby he started to feel our baby kicking for the first time on our honeymoon and it was a beautiful moment captured by our honeymoon photographer on the beach :-) 

Family <3

For this layout I created a tropical beach hut look using the a straw effect back ground paper with splats of blue and pink paint and hidden journaling behind the 'so happy together' postcard. I used Heidi Swapp black and white buzz words on the photo to create the tilte. I just love the overall effect of the layout it really captures to the tropical feel of our holiday and you can clearly see my baby bump :-) 

Happy Moments

This layout was also using our honeymoon photo of us walking along the beach. I used a grey wood effect background paper from the My Minds Eye Cut&paste collection and elements from Echo Park Here&Now to embellish the layout also some Amy Tan wood veneer emblishments. 

Life is perfect....

I created this layout a few months back while I was at a weekend crop in Swindon, using a photo from our honeymoon photoshoot. 

I used a pencil with a rubber end to dip into white paint creating white dots onto the back background. I chose to use bright colours to bring character to the back and while photograph. I used papers and element stickers from the Echo Park Here and Now collection by Loui Whitlock including the a border sentiment for the layout title.

where has the time gone!!!!!

Well I've got no idea where the year has disappeared to and there is no excuse at to why I've not kept on top of my blog. I've been bad and I do apologise. So I think a quick catch up is called for..... well where to start I have had a fantastic year I started it as Miss Meakings ended it as Mrs Eldridge, we are pleased to say we are soon expecting the arrival of Baby Buttons due 13th January 2014 so any day now!!!  

Also we went on our honeymoon in November to the beautiful Island of Samana in the Dominican Republic where we had some beautiful photographs taken of us on the beach. 

But as I'm now on maternity leave I will be keeping my blog up to date with news and posting some recent scrapbook pages. 

Sun kissed

I created this Layout at one I my local crops at Writtle collage in chelmsford. I used pink bazzil cardstock as a base and ivory layered on top with a black inked edge. I used papers from the Dear Lizzy neapolitan range and My girl American crafts range as well as a jar cut from one of the dear Lizzy lucky charms range I love all these papers and I'm going for a blue, pink, white with hints of yellow and black for my wedding album. I just live the end result of this page :-)

I added a little cluster of buttons and brads from my stash close to the jar which I tied with teal thread and a little flower bling ......... Enjoy xxxx

Cupcakes :-)

So been getting busy in my nice tidy space :-) love it!!! I took a trip over to www.shimelle.com and saw a inspirational layout which I have scrap lifted.... This is the original design.

Below is my work, I used pink and blue acrylic paints that I flicked at the edge of opposite corners of the layout. I used a selection of papers I had on my desk left over from previous projects but kept with blue, pink and yellow colours. As well as a selection of brads and washi tape. I used an exclusive GoGoGetaway stamp from a class last march which is a speech bubble but I use it as a cloud. The photograph is raised on foam pads and the card is inked pick and layered like a Polaroid picture. Enjoy Katie xxxx
