Glittered....

I managed to get my hands on the new Lost and Found collection by My Mind's Eye.  It's just gorgeous.  Once again the layout worked perfectly for the latest challenge by Southern Girls Challenges which was to create using glitter.  And this collection has it in abundance.  The green background is actually the "reverse" side of the glittered stripes.  It seemed such a crime to cover it all up ........  The simply perfect tag has got the red glitter on it too.  It's a good thing I doubled up on this collection - so much fun to be had with it !!!

Top Deck lunch

A couple of weeks ago, yes, I'm a little behind, Paul had one of those rare occassions where he had the weekend off work. This is a real treat as it doesn't really happen so wanted to make the most of it. One of 'the' things to do in HK is go out for brunch over the weekend as many places do buffets with a bottomless glass of bubbles !! It would be fair to say that we really haven't done that but that has now all changed. We went took the girls, with friends, to Top Deck. This is a restuarant on the top floor of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant. It's a fantastic place to go - food's great, area for the kids to play - with an employee supervising, it's situated in the middle of Aberdeen Marina and of course a bottomless glass of bubbles.

You can sit outside but we were inside as thought it would cooler and more pleasant. I took photos of going there and leaving but none WHILE we were there...never mind good excuse to go back !

Peek a boo.....

I discovered a new scrapbook challenge site a little while ago. The Southern Girls Challenge really appealed as it's NZ based (since I'm a kiwi girl) but also international (since I am that too) submissions are accepted.

I missed the first challenge, the second challenge wasn't for me (didn't really have the supplies) and the third challenge - working with 4 patterned papers - came at the right time. I'd just finished the below layout working with Cosmo Cricket papers (the Early Bird line) that came in one of my monthly kits. Papers worked so well with the photos.
