Tuckaway Station

I'm so excited, I have just ordered a tuckaway station for my cricut, it will go underneath my desk and roll out when I want to use it, I have ordered 18 paper shelves for the bottom so I will store my cardstock in them. This is just a photo off the website (http://www.storage4crafts.co.uk/) I will post a photo when I receive it and get it sorted. So at last I have spent some of my birthday money!

Happy Halloween!

I know I'm a bit out of season but I had these photos to scrap of a Halloween Party Sandra had and I thought they deserved a mini instead of a layout. Here it is:

Just thought I would blog my scraproom again as I have changed it around a bit and I'm now able to reach my glues etc I've also moved the red drawers away from underneath the table as they kept rolling further in when closing the drawers!

Tardree Forest

This is Tardree Forest, it's Sophie's favourite place to walk Holly. It reminds her of the forest in Twilight and I think she always keeps an eye out for Robert Pattison (Edward)!

Sarahs Cards May Kit

I set out some pages last night and the photos so all I had to do this morning was crop, stick and admire! These are more pages I have made from the kit and that now makes 5 with enough leftover to make another layout! I can't wait to 20th June to get my next kit although I won't have much time as I'll be going into hospital on the 28th.

Just Us

This is Sophs and me at Oxford Island a few weeks ago. I decided to print the photo out in black and white as I had a orangy jumper on and Sophs had a cerise one on and the colours didn't really go!

New Network

Hi all, I have just set up a new network for scrappers and creative people please go to http://samsscrappers.ning.com/ and join up. You can start and join in on the forum, upload photos and videos and also chat with other members. Have some fun.

First Layout in a couple of days!

It's our 15th Wedding Anniversary today, can't believe it was 15 years ago. Makes me feel old!

I thought I would get some scrapping done this week to keep my mind off missing Sophs but didn't feel like scrapping on Tuesday and then yesterday I had a hospital appt and then mum and dad took me out for a while (to Doodle craft) so this is my first layout. It was a simple one and I only used one sheet of paper, fancy Pants (from my Sarahs Cards kit) and a stampin up journalling stamp and white ink pad and gel pen.

Sophs is home this afternoon and I can't wait to hear all the exciting things she did. She'll probably be really tired.

Blog Candy

Here is a link to some lovely blog candy. Great papers for the Girls! I can't get the link to work but if you click on 2angels under the followers you'll find it.

Double Layout

I haven't completed a double layout for ages but I had quite a few photos for the day out to the zoo. I used Stampin Up Whisper Whilte cardstock, pink pixie inkpad, Patterned papers-My Minds Eye, Martha Stewart edge punch and prima stamp for my journalling and promarkers to colour it. I also used a butterfly stamp from Stampin Up.

First Layout for this Week

This was last July at the Antrim Show, Sophs loved it because of all the horses and of course the other animals. I used My Minds Eye papers (Bloom and Grow) bazzil cardstock and chipboard letters and pumpkin pie inkpad from Stampin Up.
I will probably be scrapping alot this week as Sophie is away with her school until Thursday to the Share Centre doing lots of fun things!

My Kit Came!

I was so excited to receive my kit today from Sarah's Cards. I haven't done any scrapping today coz I was listening out for a delivery van and it eventually came at 12.00. I had also ordered some more American Crafts Cardstock which I love, so I got two parcels to open. Here is the patterned card from fancy pants (7 sheets), it's double sided so I took a photo of my fav side, also 5 sheets of bazzil cardstock.

This is the embellishments that came with the kit, fabric thickers, journalling tabs, rubons, doilie, felt flowers, clips, lace and my fav is the artisan frame from Pink Paislie.

I also ordered the 3 extras, buttons, blooms and embellishments. I was really surprised at the amount of flowers and buttons and I just love the lace butterfly.

I can't wait to scrap with my new kit. But for the minute I just keep looking at it!

Two more layouts

I have working on these layouts on and off today. I used 2 sketches but the second one didn't end up anything like the sketch! Sandra, I'm sure you recognise these photos!

Just Finished Another Layout

This was my birthday last year. I used another sketch from pagemaps and also the new Bobunny Mamarazzi cardstock, papers and buttons and bling.

Garden Gymnastics

I started this layout yesterday and finished it this morning. I thought it looked ok but when I looked at the photo of it on the computer the green ribbon seemed to dark and took away from the photo so this is what it looked like first:


Then I decided to put twill tape along the green ribbon and although the green is still there it doesn't seem as strong. I think it helps.

I used a sketch from Pagemaps website.
