That was the aim of my older two, many years ago when they discovered that they could climb right to the top of the climbing frame, and they didn't even need their parent's help! Truthfully, it was so hot that year that their Dad and I were only too glad...

I came across this page when surfing the 'net: Here's my version of it: I am so in love with the latest batch of papers I bought. It's been a while since I used Crate Paper material, and their collection 'brook' has gorgeous patterns and colours, perfect...

A scraplift of Ninie's page, Challenge 13 May, Scrap etc: I made a double page to suit the title & photos, adjusting the sketch to suit my layout. I used the same papers, stamps and embellishments on both pages. Patterned papers from My Mind's Eye 'Colourful...
