AWOL

I've been AWOL, I know. We have just returned from a whirlwind week away in Sydney. My husband and I are the children's Pastors for the Hillsong Church Brisbane campus and we had our church's annual conference last week. It was a brilliant week of speakers such as Bishop TD jakes, Andy Stanley and Judah Smith...incredible stuff.

We work in the Kidsong program where we look after all of the conference delegate's kids for the week....over 1000 of them! 

Rich and I ran the outdoor programs with big scale games like 'World Cup Soccer' on the program. I am still trying to get the grass stains out of our clothes from that game!

Before I left I managed to create a few layouts at a small crop with some great friends. It was lovely to catch up and scrap away with a lot of laughs and good food to share :)

Miss Mikaela with some beautiful Bo Bunny papers. This Mamarazzi range is stunning. I know the title strip has the American spelling of Colour but I loved the quote so much I went with it ;)

I have been loving the look of these Studio Calico papers. Perfect for Lethal Ethan's Sports Day layout :)

This is my layout for this month's July Cybercrop at Little Scrapbook Shop. I set a challenge to use a word that defines you - a word that is descriptive of what you believe, stand for or just simply describes you. The challenge also asked to use the dictionary definition of the word and a self portrait on your layout.

This last layout is one I created for our gorgeous little friend Danielle who's birthday party I photographed a few weeks ago. I made this layout for her and framed it for her bedroom as a reminder of her wonderful day. I hops she likes it!

I have a few new projects going up at A2Z Scraplets this week and will share them as soon as they are released. I also have some new class projects for work to share as soon as I have photographed them. 
In the meantime I have loads of washing to catch up on from our week away. The kids have a pupil free day tomorrow and Rich has a day off so I may enlist some laundry assistants ;)
Got a good tip for removing those stubborn grass stains with minimal effort?
