Just a quickie, I’m off for a bath and sort myself out for the evening ready to snuggle down on the sofa to watch Reaper (Yaaaay, picked up for 13 more episodes next year – I can’t WAIT!)

So I’m totally loving the Bento thing Yesterday it was a case of just grabbing whatever I had to hand at the time – it was like I had a McDonalds yesterday haha… well minus the fries. I got up and cooked chicken nuggets especially.

I apologise for crappy mobile phone picture, for some reason I didn’t have my cybershot on me and it was the only camera I had on me as I was about to eat.

Now for tomorrow’s (as I went shopping today )

Salad, nuts and raisins (mixed nuts, specifically non salted/seasoned), grapes, raw carrots with dip and Toblerone.

There’s notes on the photos if you click on them to go to its Flickr page.

And finally before I nip off, here’s a budget album tip and super easy to customise! All you need: pack of 8×8 album pockets/sleeves (the ones you slip your layouts into) and 2 sheets of 12×12 cardstock.
Measure cardstock (I did this by eye) to fit your sleeves nicely. then just cut one section off your cardstock – both sheets the same that’s the only cut you need to do, yay! Then you just need to fold and punch holes so your album looks a little like this from the side:

and voila! One super cool -and cheap – customised album


(lol, Miss Mint’s Rainbow Joy Embellies are in the first pocket – I printed them, and added them to the front cover too. I plan on it being a digi album once I’m done.)

I had this gorgeous scalloped edged cardstock I splurged on during my last trip to Hobby Craft (ok 2, but one’s for me lol!) and I couldn’t think of any supplies that I had to go with it at the time. That’s when I started looking through my digital supplies and saw the gorgeous Daydreams kit by Gina at digitaldesignessentials, I printed one of the papers for the background, another paper for the type, the letters for LAUREN from the Rawhide alpha also from Gina (the October Idea Notebook) and epoxy stickers all on one sheet of A4 card.

I put clear page pebbles on the print of the epoxy stickers as that’s what they’re meant to look like after all, I printed one of the heart accents on to shrink plastic and heated it, I cut out the alpha and stuck it down with foam squares to give it some depth. I also believe I picked the font “Lauren Script” for the info lol, and voila
