So this is what we got up to in the weekend …

I hope you had an amazing weekend.  Saturday in Auckland was a little overcast, which was just the perfect weather for an afternoon crop, because it was followed on Sunday with the MOST beautiful ‘almost’ spring day.

We had a really great time croppin’ and creating on Saturday.  I shared with everyone a layout designed by the very clever Susan Williams (of the US), which included a ‘fold out accordian’ section.  This is as in CTMH’s Magic idea book, and is a really clever and cute way of adding extra photos, journalling, embellishments, or a combination of all of these.  Lots of people completed this page as designed, but Penny O put her own spin on it, using the Seaside paper (if you want some of this, order it now, because it’s being retired at the end of the month).  I love Penny’s adaptation of the layout.

Here’s a little snippet from our crop.  The cake was my creation for afternoon tea!
