Long Awaited Scrappin!

Happy Saturday!
Did you know I have done a number of scrap pages since we got back from Japan and yet haven't posted one?! How slack am I {slapping self on butt}.

So here are a couple to keep your appetite whetted for the weekend :)
This is actually a self-taken pic (I don't think you can really tell!) and I love the rough texture of the old brick wall. It's at the lighthouse at Wollongong, they have this old bunker underneath and Will and I took some pics there back at Easter time. I wanted to do a page that is as much about the journalling as the picture (for once!- Journalling is usually the last thing I do and has to fit in around the rest of the page!) I chose to use different patterns in co-ordinating colours and have a word and it's meaning to me on each one. I cut them with my Nestabilities Label 1 die in different sizes and wrote on them in my SU Stampin Write Markers. I love this Scenic Route paper, the colour is so beautiful! Some of the paper pieces I used up are way old but were some of my fave ones I was hoarding- it's great to have them out of the stash and onto a page now.
I loved this pic of Will when I took it, he's so innocent and child-like in this pic! I can imagine what he would have looked like as a little boy :) just the same {heart melting with sweetness}. And I hope this face carries over into our Children also! This pic was taken on the Mt Kachi Kachi Ropeway the morning of our engagement (when I didn't know today was the day, and he was feeling a little scared I think!) and it turned out to be the first holiday pic I scrapped. YOu know when you see a pic and a whole page instantly jumps out at you and forms in your head without any effort! That's this page :) The OLD on this page is the "Truly Madly Deeply" rub on, the American Crafts chipboard shapes and the bird rub-on. They aren't really that old compared to other stuff in my stash, but they are by no means new either! Be happy for me, I'm working through my stash! The American Crafts thickers on this page are my favourite font too- it's called daiquiri and i LOVE them! I have them in white also cos I liked them so much {wink!} The black spotty AC patterned paper is great for boy pages too, I'm always on the look out for cool guy papers!
I think we're going to the movies tonight to see Ice Age 3. Will's bro works at Reading Cinemas and usually gives us free popcorn and drink when we go there and he's working. Sweet! Last time though he trumped it all by sending us to Gold Class for free with free popcorn and cokes! All with his Manager's permission too! And the manager told us to come back anytime and if they weren't busy we could go in Gold Class again! I wont pin my hopes on it for a Saturday night though, free popcorn would be nice enough for me!
