A Very Belated Happy New Year

My blog has been neglected of late............. I must try and keep up to date with everything. No card post today, as I have been extremely busy with work and family life since the beginning of 2011, but I have a dew birthday this month, so I am hoping to post some card in the next week or so.

Just wanted to post this couple of glee songs, as I am sitting in the office, with the sun shining through the window and they have brightened my day up no end. enjoy

Craft Fayre Over With.....

Phewwww..... But I am so glad that I did it, was really good fun. I actually sold some of my cards as well, made the money back I paid for the stall and a bit more, so I am really happy. It was a very cold day (not a very flattering photo, was shivering), and peter came with me to help me. I was really nervous turning up as it was my first time doing this and really didnt know what to expect.

I will definitely do one again, but they dont have any more spaces for this year, so will plan for next spring, and work on the presentation of my stall a bit. I go t some good ideas from the other stall holders, and plus I will be able to do more general cards for birthdays etc. as I mainly had Christmas cards on sale, with a few alterable items.

Now I have to crack on with my Christmas Cards for this year, so behind. I also have decied to try and do December daily scrapbook project this year, I may only do first week fall behind and give up, but I am determined to give it a go.

Go Digital

Hi All,

I don't have any cards to post at the moment, as I am busy getting ready to do my first stall at a local event this weekend (scary) I am not sure if I have enough to warrant having the stall, but I keep telling myself that I am doing it for the experience, and then maybe I will learn the do's and dont's if I decide to do it again.

Anyway.......


I have a quick post for you, with a digital scrapbook layout that I did. I have loads of normal pages that I must complete and my daily December to set up, but I wanted to have a quick go at a layout I found on the basic grey website. It was quick and easy, and I knew which photos and topic I wanted to cover. So here you go, a page about a day in Rome, this time last year in fact.

Hope you like.

Which female are you!!!

You're an Esme!

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

A Couple of Birthday Cards

Hi all,

Quick post with a couple of cards I did for family members birthdays. Been a busy month, and have a had a week and half away, so I did not have chance to post these before I went.

First one, was for my future sister in law - I found a postcard in paper chase that I liked and thought it would be make a great background for a card. I thought I would keep it simple and just applied some glitter thickers on top and applied doodlebug rubons underneath.

Second one was an image an received in a swap, coloured with koh-i-noors and blending oil (it came out quite nice one the water colour paper the image was stamped on) layered it one some brown kraft colour card for papermill, and a scrap of stripey xmas paper I had left over in my box. applied ribbon between the fro stampin up supplies, and stamped sentiment in brown ink.

Working on my save the date cards for wedding (going digital with this project) at the mo and a couple of baby twin commission cards.

see ya later.
