Blogging again after 3 weeks!

Well at last I'm blogging again! I haven't been well, chest infection and colds and things and I haven't been doing any crafting. I've just got onto the computer in the last couple of days and today was my first time out in a week! Feeling a good bit better now and thought I would brave the cold outside and take photos of the two recent layouts I have done. This one was done at the Kit Club in Stephanie's (Forgetmenot Papercrafts) and it was the first time I used an overlay. They were really lovely autumny pages.

This layout was made with another overlay, Prima Paintables, but instead of painting it, I used my Copics, tasted them on a spare piece of acetate first to make sure they dried. I only used three colours of Copics although it looks like more because of the Basic Grey Euphoria paper I put behind it. I liked the way you could can see through the copics to the page below. These photos were taken at Oxford Island and I had to put the journalling on the back.
I'm going to Stephanie's on Monday so hopefully will have more layouts to show next week x

More Cards than scrapping



I'm just after writing a post and losing it! Well I seem to be making more cards than layouts recently, birthdays and Christmas of course! It's our nieces first birthday tomorrow and I made two cards, one from Gary and me and one from Sophs. They are made from some new stamps I got this week. The mouse one was fun to stamp I especially love the patchwork letters and might even buy the whole alphabet as I only got the B and the W in the kit from Dimension Fourth. The flower stamps are from Forgetmenot Papercrafts in Belfast. I will definately have to get back to scrapping, I did a layout on Monday night at Stephanie's but haven't quite finished it yet.

Birthday Card


Mum in laws birthday tomorrow. I've got one card made and still got Sophs card to do. I used papermania stamp and letter stamps on it with basic grey euphoria paper and copic pens to colour. Really enjoying using copic pens and I'm sure I need some more colours!
