Sharing those layouts

Lukas went out for the day yesterday with Ella. I think they started off intending to go and play at Lisa's house but ended up taking him buy some new fish, playing in the garden and taking a trip to the park with Ella's grandad before he finally came home about 8pm last night and needed to get straight into the bath lol. He had a lovely time playing with Ella and it worked out great for me since I have been feeling really unwell all weekend. Since Lukas was so tired after his day out he was content to sit and play the laptop on the bed, while I managed to get a page scrapped on the desktop. I have been really ill today as well, Mark has been trying to do some of the room, he didn't get a great deal done except for taking some clothes to the recycling and Lukas has spent most of the day playing outside in the garden. Nan was babysitting for Ella this evening so Lisa and Gary could go out for a nice meal so Lukas got a playmate for a while again. Since I was sat in bed feeling crappy anyway I decided that I would try and get another page scrapped while we are waiting for it to be time for Wrestlemania 25. Lukas is super excited that he gets to stay up and watch the whole thing and not have to wait to watch the repeat or recording tomorrow. I have 4 layouts in total to show you today, and all of them were created for different challenges. The first one I have to share was created for the treat of the month challenge at Sweet Shoppe Designs this month it's Peppermint you can view her gallery here and read her interview here.

Journalling reads:March was a strange month for us, it just seemed to fly by without us really doing very much. We had to get used to Mark being back to work full-time after his back injury. We had yet another hospital appointment and were glad to see that Takara Bean is doing great and starting to look like more of a baby than a bean. We celebrated Mother‘s Day with a day trip to London to attend the Chessington World of Adventures annual pass holder day event. It was a great day for all of us, we were so busy having fun we took hardly any pictures. We stayed overnight in the onsite hotel and and enjoyed a quick trip to a local park before catching the train to go and get the coach back home. Lukas had a great time learning all about space at school, he even helped build a moon buggy for the space exhibition. We had a sad ending to the month with the news that Mark‘s Grandmother had died.

Journalling reads: Since we usually don’t really do anything special for Halloween I was really excited about taking you to the Hocus Pocous Halloween event at Chessington World Of Adventures. I thought I would have plenty of unique photograph opportunities, and maybe I would finally be able to use some of the themed scrapbook kits I couldn’t resist buying. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t really feeling like cooperating. It rained nearly everyday and almost all of the photo points around the park were damp or muddy, so we didn’t get to take many photographs at all. We still had a lot of fun going on the rides and spending time as a family. Never mind there’s always next year.

Enabling: Spooktacular (October 08 Mega Kit) available here, I'm Felting 03 Styles by Royanna Lea Fritschmann available here and BodonFriz,96 font available here you can find all the details for the template challenge including the download link here. I can't seem to find the DJB Erika font by Darcy Baldwin in the store, but there are plenty of others including some on sale here.

The last one I have to share was created for the 1st Spin-A-Lift challenge for April at Sweet Shoppe which is always the current Treat Of The Month. I used the Inspired by Peppermint templates by Bree Clarkson again and flipped the template vertically.

I made another layout while Wrestlemania 25 was on, so I thought I would just add it to this post rather than starting another one just for one layout. This one was created for the April Template Challenge on the Hawt Mama's Team Blog it's a scraplift of Lucky by Laurie aka LibbysMommy.
