As the title of the blog post says, after a busy summer where relatively little crafting was achieved I am now trying to catch up with my smash book, which is a pictorial journal through our year. As a result the main item on my desk today (my entry to
WOYWW) is my smash book in the process of generating the Father's Day page. You can see my distress inks, the stencil I used to make the background of the page, my trusty mug of tea (half drunk), the pens I use on the smash book pages as they don't leak through the pages, glue and stickles and a general mess.
Although I can't yet show you the finished page, here are two other pages I made this week. This first one is of a trip to Kingsbury Water Park with my best friend and her children. The background was again made with distress inks and a mask.
As was the background to this page, which documents the arrival of the climbing frame.
As well as the smash book I also made a card this week using white on white...not something I have done very often, but I was quite pleased with the result. That is all from me for now. Have a great week everyone.
Love
Caro

Actually, I adore white on white..it's so serene and elegant and yours is a perfect example of that. Quite lovely. Your journal pages are the complete opposite, aren't they? But no less lovely :-)

Great pages in your Smash Book Caro. It is going to be such a fun read at the end of the year. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 67 x
Lovely pages, Caro - and what a beautiful card. I love to read about your adventures with Alex. It is so good to see you really enjoying his growing up. Be warned - they don't stay young for long. Mine are now 39 and 37!!!!!
Have a great week.

good to see those magic moments in your book. You certainly make the most of your family time. Love the card.
Glad to be back and joining in with WOYWW. I've missed everyone but life has been so busy of late.
Happy news today is that DD2 in Germany had a little boy a couple of weeks earlier than the planned Caesarean and everything is fine. She delivered it herself too and he was 7lbs 8ox. First little boy in the family too!
