Sisters Of Scrap

Wow, I had an awesome time visiting Yvette and scrappin the weekend away! We chatted, scrapped, listened to music, made Bakerella cupcake pops and just had fun together :)

Yvette is a great inspiration and mentor to me, a great teacher and a wonderful scrapper and I thoroughly enjoyed sapping all her creative juices and using them as my own! Although I cringed every time I brought out a piece of paper and Yvette would say "oh I used to have that paper" and I'd be like "What, about 5 years ago?" Yes I know I need to use through my stuff or get rid of it!! I'm not a scrapping machine like you!! Lol! But I am willing to learn :)

It was a SUPER productive weekend, with me surpassing my goal of 3 finished paged and 1 unfinished, I finished 4 pages and have 2 that only need journalling... Yippee!! I'm going to post them one at a time this week, so as to not overwhelm you ;) and cos I've got a busy week ahead and probably wont get much of a chance to create this week!

This page is about the Icecream tradition we have in our family, where after we have a swim at the beach or the local pool Dad would always buy us an icecream! We usually had a budget of about 60-80c which was enough for a water icypole (which I loved), a Paddle Pop, or a Bubble O' Bill and we could choose whichever icecream we wanted. Although Dad would always buy Mum something more expensive like a Gaytime!

Thanks for all your inspiration Yvette, I just loved coming to stay and scrap with you, and it was so productive! Once I do the journalling on the last 2 pages I will have done over 52 pages this year, which was my goal for the entire year! So THANK YOU!!
