4 Cats and an awful lot of mess

Yesterday was an odd day, we had all 4 seasons in one day including heavy snow at one point so a perfect day for staying in with a roaring fire lit, catching up on some tv recorded through the week and doing some scrapping.

I have finished my February project life (will post pics later) and now I can do some layouts. I have started subscribing to the Scrapastic monthly kit starting with the March kit and it is rathe lovely. You get a choice of 2 kits each month plus loads of add ons. I went for the It's my life kit which is full of gorgeous reds, mint and blues and stuffed full of embellishments.


This kit will be perfect for scrapping some of my recent photos of Sam at the spa.

It's not really a dog spa. Sam has a problem with his hip, possibly hip dysplasia so we are taking him to a canine hydrotherapist to see if we can sort it out before it causes long term conditions such as arthritis. We are taking him to the wonderful Canine Health & Hydro run by Steve and Poppy. Steve is fantastic and a real dog whisperer. Sam is nervous with people but in 2 sessions his confidence is growing and Steve is his best swim pal.



With MP and I sat on the side of the pool Sam looked at us for reassurance but was in no rush to get out of the pool.

With the red of the harness and the blue water, the Scraptastic kit will match perfectly so looking forward to breaking into it tomorrow.

I also had a birthday recently and was a very lucky lady indeed. MP and my Dad bought me some new straightening irons, MP bought me a Fuji film instax camera (perfect for project life) and Dad bought me a fabulous CD 'Teenage Kicks, full of sounds of my youth, perfect driving music. So all in all, March has been good so far.

Over on the Sodalicious website they have some gorgeous new papers and a great giveaway ........

I said I would post up, so here are some of the layouts I have done since Christmas, far more fun than studying.

I have also finished my project life or pocket scrap booking (don't want to get into trouble with copy right) for January.




















Because I do it by months I find some months I do several pages and some (like January) are quiet, so I only do one or one and a half like here. I use my phone to take most of my photographs and prefer Hipstamatic to Instagram as I print my photos at home, plus I like all the different lenses and films you can download.

Looking at some other monthly scrappers I notice they put a lot more of the day to day stuff in e.g. shopping and petrol prices and current affairs/news which I hadn't thought of. So from now on I am going to make my PL about more than just what MP and I get up to (or don't) so I have a true records of the years to look back and reminisce on.

I also need to work on my title card for the month. I find this really difficult to do and to be honest they really are dull looking, so watch this space.

Well, time for bed now. I haven't done my car reviews as promised this time but I might try to get back at the weekend and put that up OR I might do some studying, decisions, decisions.
