Well this weekend didn't exactly turn out how we were planning. We went to Slimming World first thing on Saturday and Hugh had got to target which was wonderful! However he then went to the dentist and had an emergency extraction, which has left him feeling a little under the weather for the rest of the weekend. We were supposed to be working on decorating Penny's new bedroom for her, but that hasn't happened! However, it did free up Sunday afternoon for me to do some scrapbooking.
I have recently been watching Nicole Jones on YouTube and love how she manages to 'kill a kit', so I decided to have a go myself and use up some of my earlier Noel Mignon kits which have been sitting on my trolley for a few months now!
I was really pleased to completely use up 1 kit (I just had a few alphas left) and I have nearly used up another. I have decided to move on any embellishments or alphas to the next kit to try and use them up and it seems to be working quite well.
So here are the four layouts I managed to create on Sunday.
These photos were taken earlier in the year and were perfect to go with these papers.
Going through my papers I realised that I had hardly scrapped any of the couple of hundred photos I took when we went to Florence, so I have now made a start!
I just love how happy Brenda is looking in this photo - she really enjoyed her retirement party.
These photos were taken in August last year when we went to Cadbury World for Ben's birthday. Again I took a load of photos and had only scrapped 1 so far! Really need to do a few more!
Well this week we have Penny's graduation, so keep your fingers crossed for it staying dry on Tuesday so I can take lots of photos! Hope you all have a nice week!

I'm trying to think of some funny way of using "gift horse" and "Mouth"..you know, emergency tooth, but extra scrapping time? failing though, so I'll just admire your pages instead.
I always love finding a new YouTube person, so I will certainly check it out, especially if she can inspire me to create such amazing layouts as yours x
Fingers are crossed for tomorrow
Those are lovely pages. I will check out Nicole's videos as I have not been killing my kits lately, and not even moving the leftovers forward. Must do better, or this stash will never decrease.
Hope Hugh is feeling better, glad you got some scrapping done. I like the idea of killing the kits - I tend to work it down to scraps/alphas and then put things into the stash. Cards are good for finishing stuff off....
Sorry to read that Hugh has been under the weather - but well done on reaching that target! I admire your scrapbooking ability: four lovely pages, each with their own character, in an afternoon is quite an achievement :).
Great layouts - you always do such a wonderful job matching up your papers with photos.
What is scrapping time? Haven't had much of that round here lately! However I love your pages, especially the Florence one, and you've introduced me to a new You Tuber so thank you for that! Have a lovel day at the graduation x
Fantastic layouts, well done on using up a kit xx
I feel for Hugh. Glad it was just the weekend though and that you managed to make use of the time with some scrapbooking. The all look great. #300in30days
