Two Page Layouts

So I was suffering from a creative block yesterday and most of this morning.  I started a few LOs then decided that I didn't like them.  This afternoon I thought I'd try again and had a go at creating a two page LO.  I choose to use Captivated Visions Off the Beaten Path Kit

July Open Grab Bag - Off The Beaten Path - Extended

And here is the 2 page LO I created.
I found it easier creating a 2 page LO than I thought I would, having the extra space to journal and show the photos made it easier.  I was so happy with my first attempt at a 2 page LO, that I decided to make another.  This time I choose to you Connie Prince & Mye De Leon Collab Kit Park Play Day
Park Play Day Collab Kit

And here's the 2 page LO I created.

Also discovered that Tesco can print 12x12 pages.  If the prints are good might buy a album and design a few more 2 page LOs to go in it.  Also made another LO using Connie Prince Mister Wonderful Kit.


Little Mister Wonderful
This has to be one of my favourite kits, its sums up my son perfectly.  Adorable but cheeky.

No plans for this weekend, my son was supposed to be at his dads tonight. But his dad is ill so we've just spent the evening watching TV.  We hired Clash of the Titans last night, story line wasn't excellent but overall a good film.  Callum has asked if I will buy it on DVD, so that's another film to add to his Christmas list.  Got a mountain of ironing to tackle in the morning.  Then Callum has asked if he can go and watch the monster truck show that is on.  I'm debating taking him as I'm not sure that he will like it, not because of the monster trucks as know he will love these.  Just worried he wont like the noise as its going to be loud.  We can buy tickets on the gate an hour before the shows starts, so I'll see what he wants to do tomorrow.  Time I went and made a cuppa coffee, trying to stay awake for the speed scrap with Connie Prince at 1am (8pm EST).  Failed last time, might have better luck tonight :) with the help from some coffee.

Cant concentrate

I have no son tonight, he's stopping with his nan, I had intended to get some new LOs created.  But I cant concentrate at all, started loads of LOs but didn't like them so started again.  Given up now going to watch TV instead.  I did manage to create my signature tag, for use in the gotta pixel forums.
Kit used is Defining Me
by Trixie Scraps
Had a good week was my birthday Thursday, got few cards and some money off my dad.  Bought myself a new dress out of my money.  Went out for a meal on Friday with my son, mum, sister and nephews.  Yesterday me and Callum went shopping, didn't buy much.  Typical when I have some money to buy some new clothes cant find anything I like.  

Thats my boring week summed up really, as I haven't done much scrapbooking life seemed to take over last few days.  Fingers crossed get lots of LOs created in next few weeks, as its a new month lots of new challenges on Gotta Pixel.  Cant believe its August already thought don't know where this year is going.  Only few weeks till our family vacation, and I cant wait.
