Layouts!

Has been a while since I actually got down to normal scrapping and managed more than 1/2 a layout in a day but this weekend just gone I actually managed 2 and 2 1/2 layouts! lol. So here are the 2 completed ones.

Would love to say that this one was all my own idea but I actually took the design for the amazingly talented Celine Navarro (http://thegreenfrogstudio.typepad.com/) You should sooooo go and check her stuff out, it's amazing!

And this Lo I just HAD to do. As soon as I saw the colour of the ice-cream my bf had on our holiday I knew it would make a great lo!

Anywyas got to get ready for work :( Thanks for looking :)

More LSNED

My next lot of LSNED pages, getting there slowly!
(sorry about the quality of my photos, my camera seems great at taking pics of people but not so much anything else!)

Am not usually very keen on pages with no pictures but I actually think that my fave pages are the last 2! Although the penguins pic is very cute!!

Thanks for looking!

LSNED Catch up!

Oh dear I am finally behind with LSNED :( Was trying so hard to keep up but am about 5 days behind now, anyways here are all my other pages following on from the first 2 that I've posted.










Well don't want to bore everyone with too many of my lessons so will add a few more tomorrow!

In the meantime I have also been making some cards... very unlike me... I am so not a card maker but my Dad owns his own Motorbike shop and asked me if I would be able to make some Motorbike themed cards that he can sell to go with his gift vouchers, so this is what I came up with:






What do you think? I know they are fairly simple but I wanted them suitable for most occasions. I am happy with the outcome, just hope my dad and his customers are!!
Thanks for looking, Hugs xxx

Back from Holiday and a new craft space :)

The last week just went far too quick... Had too much of a lovely time away with my boyfriend that I just didn't want to come back. Being by the seaside with such beautiful weather why would you want to leave? But unfortunately we had to, so now I am back at home with work to look forward to tomorrow, wishing I was back here:




Oh well... one consolation I have about being home is that while I was away my amazingly wonderful parents created a work space for crafting in my bedroom for me. I now have my very own space :)

Ok, it's nowhere near as good as some people's but it's just nice to have my own space and not have to steal the dining room table whenever I can!! Although I think that my parents actually had a ulterior motive because they wanted their dining room/conservatory back which is where I have had all my stash stored up till now!! Well just a few more things to bring up and sort out then I need to catch up with LSNED!!

New goodies and button flowers!

Last week was my birthday so my boyfriend took me to Bristol Hobbycraft. Oh My! I was in heaven! I just wanted to stay there all day but he finally managed to drag me out and it's a good job he did, so that I didn't spend any more money!! So what did I buy?

Look at all that gorgeous stash!! Have been playing with some of it already... although the papers are too beautiful to cut into right away!


I have signed up for Shimelle's Learn Something New Everyday and as today was the first promt I decided that I needed to get myself in gear so have been making some pretty embellishments to go on my pages. Yes I know should do the cover first but am not totally sure what I want to do yet, may have a play later. Anyways here are my button flowers:

Have made 30 of them so that there is one for each day, took me a while as I hand stitched all the buttons but I think they are pretty! Well had better start organising myself, thanks for looking! xx
