Pie and Cheesecake day

Yesterday I mentioned that in a moment of I-must-have-bad-food-I-need-bad-food, hubby declared it pie and cheesecake day.  A good old steak and cheese pie was the culprit in hubby’s case.  Paired with a takeaway coffee.  It seems the cheesecake part of the day didn’t eventuate.  Perhaps that was left up to me to look after but nope, I was good.  I thought I would be rewarded for my efforts but it seems the scales punish for merely thinking of eating bad food.  Next time I’ll eat it as well.

A layout to share – this layout is up on the Aussie Scrapjack site at the moment.  There are those leaves.

Alot of the stuff on this page is made by the Scrapbooking Manufacturer Bella.  I’d never used their stuff before and I especially loved the white chiboard word.  Saved me handcutting a title!  Yea I still do that. They are celebrating their 1st birthday over at the scrapjack site so pop over if you get a chance.

I’ve updated the "All about me " kids album at the side with heaps more pages by other people.  If you aren’t sure where to start with this album, checkout the photos in the sidebar.  A few people are emailing and asking about albums.  SEI do a 5.5 x 8.5 but it is portrait orientation, some people are doing 6×12, others are doing 6x6s.  It’s really not worth worrying about too much.  As long as the kids can play rough with the album, it’s all good.

A quick thanks to Liddy for the 6×6 pages she sent me for SCKC :O)

I see Luxe are holding a design team competition. Details here.

OK. Off to make dinner.  Homemade bacon and egg burgers .  Not the best nutritional value, but has to be better than steak and cheese pie, right?

    I think Bridgette is having a dig at me because it’s been a while between posts on my blog! Ha ha ha. I LOVE your blog – how brave of you to move – was it hard? I also wondered what brand the chipboard lettering was that you have used in a couple of your recent layouts – “AT NIGHT” and “LOVE you”? Your pages rock by the way – I am SO jealous, I havent done any scrapping for days – you make me want to drag out all my crap (I mean important scrappy stuff) and get started RIGHT NOW (and it’s way past my bedtime already, LOL!). Keep up the good work Nic! (Oh and I took the photos tonight that will be the basis for MY Jacob book, I just have to find time to get them printed, Ha ha ha!)

    Loving those leaves. And you’ve got me thinking pie and cheesecake thoughts now … I will not give in! Just wanted to let you know that I’ve put my first two pages of my All About Me book on my blog – feel free to take the pics and put them in your ‘others album’. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Actually that page looked as yummy as cheesecake so hopefully that won’t be include in my calorific count for the day! 🙂 …. I won’t tell you either that I shared a jaffa cheesecake the other day… seriously YUM!
    Also just started my kids album. I’m gonna have to do 2 at once in order to lower the tanty volumes :0 The title page for Mr 4 is on my blog. Thanks for a great idea. I’m happy for the page to be put in the gallery (if it doesn’t kill it having a way simpler page in there!! LOL)
