Finishing off my April Kit

Well, I don't know how it's happened but the month is almost over!

I've had fun using my April forged kit "It's A New Season".

Beach Tennis condo's, South Beach HHI.
My LO for the UKS April week 1 challenge

It's been interesting to use the black and white that I've had in my stash for years 

paired with the blue and pink colours which I don't normally use,

 especially on pages that feature me!

I've focused on scrapping holiday photographs taken last month in Hilton Head, 

our go to destination for r&r and retail therapy.

On the balcony enjoying a glass of wine after watching
the St. Patrick's Day parade for 3 hours.

There are still bits and pieces of black and white left in the kit.

I've used the picture frames, PL cards and some of the other coloured pp's

 but notice that I haven't used the pink or white alphas that I included.

With a few days left in the month I may get another LO or two from this kit 

then I think I'll break it down.

Just a quickie.................

I've been prepping my CKCB blog hop post today and there's lots to be revealed on Monday so be sure to come back then for a look.
But...............I really did want to share this LO that I did last weekend (before I got sick and "took to me bed") for The Green Buttons House February Challenge.

The GB's chose a gorgeous colour palette from Design Seeds for us to use and I had some great snaps of the Senior Partner that I'd wanted to scrap for a few years(!) but never had.

the back of the T shirt announces to the world that
"Old Guys Rule" but most importantly labels him as a
"trophy husband".
It may be almost 5 years since he bought it down in Harbour Town, HHI but it's still his favourite T.

I broke open some new stash from the "He Said, She Said" range by Teresa Collins added some old stash bits and pieces et voila!

C'est pret.

Bon weekend.

Flyers Circle Journal - Favourite Places

When I saw the theme, Favourite Places, that Elaine chose for her circle journal there was only one place in my mind - Hilton Head Island.

 The SP and I have enjoyed so many wonderful vacations in HHI, the jewel of the South Carolina Low Country.

We have now, reluctantly, sold our Marriott timeshare on the island but I'm sure that won't stop us from going back when we next get the chance!

It's Crafting Time - Sketch

This is the LO that I created from a sketch, provided by It's Crafting Time, to the Design Team to interpret.

Patterned background paper, journal tag and strips are from Crate Paper’s Hampton and Clambake Sailing collection.

The embellishment cluster and stars are from my stash and there’s a hidden journaling tag inside a Tim Holtz idea-ology Kraft glassine pocket, tucked behind the photo.

The photo was taken as we strolled around the harbour at Shelter Cove, H.H.I South Carolina, in 2009 when our friends from Texas came to visit us there.

Hidden journalling reads:

We always enjoy our time in Hilton Head, especially when we can spend it with good friends. When Susan & John joined us in the spring of 2009 we were thrilled to share it with them. It was the Cox’s first visit to H.H.I. but I don’t think it will be last.
