Battersea and Ben Hur!

David had planned a suprise for me and I knew several months before that we were going somewhere exciting! I had no idea what I was about to be treated to but when we arrived at the O2 he told me we were going to watch the world premier of Ben Hur live and it was incredible!!  The chariot race was amazing and the music and number of actors made for a spectacular show, I had a great night, thanks gorgeous :)

 

The O2 arena is amazing and we had great seats.  I used the tickets packet at the top of the page and some of my thickers to creat the title.  The journalling card is by October Afternoon and is framed by Making Memories paint and some bling.

 

We celebrated bonfire night at Battersea Park where the theme was love.  All the fireworks exploded in time with the music and the songs included 'Kings of Leon' and 'Westlife'.  It was so cool.  We also had sparklers and after the display, went to Tooting Common to release a wish lantern :)  A great evening.

I love this tree paper by 'Crate Paper' and have been waiting to use this this 'firework' embellishment for ages!

My new recipe book...............

Thinking ahead to married life i know it will be important to have a good supply of recipes for dinner parties, when family come round or just for a nice night in. And of course i had to have a handmade scrapbook one for all my favourite recipes that i'm going to gather over the next few months :)

(sorry about the poor lighting on the photo but i was at uni today and it's getting dark so early in the evening now!)

I've got chapter cover pages for all food areas such as seafood, meat, starters, desserts and bread, well excited!! Alot of the papers are from October afternoon and i used lots of my new 'thickers' so i'm really pleased with how it all looks :)

I really wanted to do a layout yesterday but had no new photo's to scrapbook so i dug out this one from months ago.  I made David a massive poster with a little story on it and substituted some of the words with chocolate bars, for example 'I love it when you wispa in my ear'.

Here's a very autumnal layout and i love the background paper which is from the Nutmeg range by Cosmo Cricket, there stuff is so cool!!!  The little photo in the bottom left corner is a message i wrote in the condensation of Davids window and reads 'I love David more than scrapbooking'.

Looking forward to fireworks in London tomorrow but will sadly miss the x-factor (which is where You Tube comes in handy :)
