Late night scrapping...

a child that woke 5 times in the night, and an early start can only mean one thing... I feel like poop today!
Rob had his Saturday night bottle of wine last night and watched Rocky 5 (very sad) and I got on with some scrapping. I actually did 2 whole LOs last night... shock horror!!! One was using the delicious November kit from Sarahscards, all yummy greens, yellows, black and white. If you aren't a subber and you get the chance to buy the kit as a one off, you will not be disappointed.

The second LO was done just for me, no DT kit, no sketch, just me and a random choice of papers that appealed last night. The topic of the LO was inspired by a LO by Anam, and means another page in the new baby's album. I used a sound button on the LO which has a recording of the baby's heartbeat on... something I think he will like to listen to when he is older. We didn't hire a doppler with Oliver or Harry, but this time round I seem to be even more worried about something going wrong so we hired one at 14 weeks... it has been a god send, on those days when you really don't feel pregnant, have no movement and panic starts to set in.
The Lo is quite a touchy feely one as I used some velvet paper and velvet thickers. The red pp behind the photo is actually a plastic bag from a past Scarlet Lime kit so feels really shiny and cool to the touch in contrast to the velvet. The decorative edge paper is by Pink Paislee and can be bought from Sarah, it is yummy and I think I am going to need some more. The red hearts wrapped around the sound button are Bazzill decorative edges, and I love using these... they're not something I thought I would use a lot, but they are really versatile.... go on, pop some in your basket, you know you need them too.

Haven't a clue about the subject youre scrapping - looks like an Ipod to me :) Glad you found some time to do a LO free from "duties". At least with your LOs, your stash gets used up instead of sitting around gathering dust.
