Hurrah for the London Games!

Hiya people.  Are you enjoying the sun ? I think I am finally dried out from camping last week. Did you catch the opening ceremony ? What do you think ?

Well, my post has got to feature a bit of the Olympic, doesn't it ? Coupled with that, the post this month is focussing on 2 of my favourite products,

the Heidi Swapp Photo Caption
and Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic Stix.

Since the London Games is officially open, the first layout I am going to share is The Torch Came to Cambridge. The Stixs addded a touch of festivities to the layout.


We got to touch a torch at the local Lloyds Bank ( thank you! ), waited for the torch to arrive ( and got entertained at the same time ) and then waved the torch off the following morning. Next month's post might feature some photos from the Games but that is not a promise.

The next layout is Campfires. 


The "together" photo mat and the stixs are perfect for the photo of the kids around the camp fire, sitting huddled together, chatting ( the dialog stix ). Some kids were busy (the arrow stix) getting ready for the cabaret. I actually dislike camp fires, my journalling went, " I don't mind the early morning bugle but I don't like the campfires".

My layouts feature the stamps from October Afternoon that I've dressed up with patterned paper. I simply stamped the same image on patterned paper, cut out and dress the stamped image on my background cardstock.


Lastly, another layout about the Greece trip where I have used the Epic photo mat to create the title for the layout, Epic Adventure.

I have used the following products for my layouts.


That's all from me this month.  I hope you like the layouts I have shared.  Have a good summer but don't forget your camera.  See you at the end of the holidays.
