Shop and Crop April Card Kit

Hey there - how are you?

It's been a busy week for us -

DS turned 18....which of course meant parties and celebrations that went on for a few days! - lol

....and then a trip up to the Sunshine Coast to visit family.

We enjoyed a lovely day out here today ....

......gorgeous Montville. (source) Such a lovely street to wander up and down and soak up all the pretty lovelies in the stores:-)

Now that we're home again it's time to show you this month's Card Kit for Shop and Crop. Kylie sent me the most beautiful Websters goodies to play with this month - from the Sunday Picnic and Everyday Poetry lines.....needless to say I had a fabbo inking, distressing, fussy cutting time :-))

Oh I looooved creating this card:-))

You'll be able to get more details from Kylie and Daryl over at Shop and Crop.

Happy Days

It was a Happy Day here with our kitchen bench tops installed and the plumbing all finished. Here's a pic....

(buckets of water weighing the sink down until everything is set)

Now it's just the splashbacks, electricals, plastering and painting to go and we're all fully functioning - can't wait :-)))

How's this for a flashback ......

(source)

Were you a Happy Days fan? I loved it as a kid but Dad was veeeery strict about what we watched and he thought the Fonz was a very bad influence on us young impressionables (Heeeeeey??) so we very rarely managed to watch it - only when Dad wasn't around lol.

These days are all,
Happy and Free. (Those Happy Days)
These days are all,
Share them with me. (oh baby)
Goodbye grey sky, hello blue.
There's nothing can hold me when I hold you.
Feels so right, it can't be wrong.
Rockin' and rollin' all week long.

I had some rockin' and rollin' fun with Echo Parks' Happy Days Range from Shop and Crop. With just a page of Chipboard Accents, some Core-dinations Cardstock and a few sheets of  Happy Days patterned paper these practically made themselves lol.....

 

I hope you will have Happy Days this weekend. Thanks for dropping in to see what I've been up to.

Bye for now....

We spent an hour watching whales cruise by just off shore.

You can get the most delicious homemade ice cream at the Lighthouse Cafe.....yummm wish I could have another right now lol:-))

Mum and the kids looked after each other while we were away and Mum and I managed some good "catch ups" in amongst it all too.....this morning she headed home on the train and I hit my scrap room to finish off my cards for the July Card Kit at Shop and Crop.

See the little sneak peek above....and this one below.....I had fun with Basic Grey's Out of Print range - gorgeous!
