Dresser love

2012-02-13T09:46:00.000Z

Just a couple of piccies to share today.

I picked up this beauty on ebay over the weekend, isn't it just gorgeous! Can't help but keep looking at it every time I walk in the kitchen and smiling to myself :).

And then over a couple of evenings I russelled myself up a hotwater bottle cosy for all these chilly nights we've been having. The basic pattern for this one is from a book called Ilove crochet by Rachel Henderson and Sarah Hazell. I added a pink picot edge around it to pretty it up a bit :).

I've found another one on web now too and Jamie has asked for one in blue and red.

Anyways its holidays this week and I know there will be some serious decorating going on by Wednesday in Laura's room. (The sooner I get that room done, the sooner hubs might let me get on with the kitchen!)

Snow!

2012-02-05T12:38:00.000Z

The boys were up early this morning and staight outside for a spot of sledging in the beautiful snow that fell last night.

I won't be saying how beautiful it is tomorrow when I'm having to go to work in it!

Yesterday

2012-01-21T09:51:00.001Z

Oh look at these little pretties that fell into my hands yesterday from a gorgeous little gift shop nearby! Just loving that tea cosy, 2 of my favourite thing red and white polka dots and tulips :). (Notice more red tulips in the background .....thank you Aldi!)

Had a super breakfast with my bestie Lynne, chatting and flicking through her lateset stash of craftie books. Thank you my dear xxx

And just a quickie pic of my blossom cushion (pattern from attic 24... thanks)

I've used the same colours as my ripple blanket, doesn't it look yummy :)

See ya xx

Ripple ripple

2012-01-03T16:12:00.000Z

I finished my ripple blanket on New Years day! I'm rather pleased as I only started it in October. Its not perfect but I love it and it looks rather pretty on the back of the settee.
It didn't stay there long though, as soon as Ollie spotted it he was under it!

My ripple pattern was from the lovely Lucy at Attic 24 a great source of inspiration! Thank you for sharing.

December escaped me again and I'm on catch up with my December Daily. I have all my photos but no ink in my printer :( I need to find some more hours in the day!

Mmm... chocolate

2011-12-05T19:59:00.001Z

We went on the annual chocolate shop yesterday.

Lots of chocs for Aunties and Uncles and selection boxes for all the children in the family!

I shall be printing and cutting this out to add to my December 5th page.

Family joy

2011-12-04T18:17:00.001Z

We had a family Christmas dinner last night out at a restaurant and although the food and the service wasn't great (laughable actually) we had a lovely time. There were 22 of us split over 2 tables. These two make me smile when they get together, Jack was having fun sticking the star confetti on his face and Ollie pulling faces!
My number 3 page has a picture of some of the family on and a quote from an old stampin' up kit that says
"May your season sparkle with the joy of family and friends"

Thats all for now xx

Stir it up

2011-12-03T12:19:00.001Z

A tradition that has carried down through my family has been to make a wish when stirring up the Christmas cake. We made our big cakes earlier on in Novevember, but this week I've been making some small 3" ones to decorate for Jamie's breakfast club teachers. They look super yummy.
Hugs x

December daily..

2011-12-02T19:35:00.001Z

...off we go :)
First day done.
I made Ollie a book advent calendar this year, he loves reading and stories so I visited a few charity shops and collected 24 books with a Christmas or wintery theme and wrapped one up for everyday in December. He was really excited to open up his first book today and we read it before bedtime.
This is my main page and I've added a few more photos and journaling into 4 pockets over the page but I want to keep it as simple as possible so its manageable!
Back tomorrow x

Playing hookie

2011-12-01T12:41:00.001Z

Hello folks!I've been busy with my crochet needle these past few months. I'm not sure where the time goes. Here's a picture of my Bella with my wip of the moment, a ripple blanket. It's getting big enough now for her to snuggle in as I'm crocheting :)
Anyway as its December 1st I'm going to start my December daily project and hopefully(!) will manage to post everyday.....we'll see. I have my story for today in mind but it won't happen till later so I'll post tomorrow.

Race for life

2011-07-17T15:01:00.000+01:00

So this is what I've been upto today! Me, my sister and 2 friends did our race for life today and although I didn't jog all the way round I gave it a very good go. Top photo is the before and the bottom one is after we finished with our medals.
Today I remembered my grandma who sadly passed away just before Christmas last year. She was loved very dearly and is still missed today. What an emotinal journey today has been but oh so worth it.
Hugs Debbie xx

So have you heard? Smash books are going to be all the rage.

I don't know about you but I constantly have a notebook next to me, jotting down ideas, tutorials, recipes and sketches. I collect bits of tickets, leaflets, pages of magazines and the like so this book will be great for me to keep all that stuff in. I'm going to add little things and photos of stuff the kids do too.

I'm sure that one of the K and co smash books will end up on my desk too because they are so darn cute and I deffo want the pen with the glue on the opposite end too!

Check out this blog for more info on the K and Co smashbooks.

Happy smashing :) x

Stars...

2011-06-22T08:00:00.002+01:00

in the making.

This pair make me laugh, half the time they're teasing and tormenting each other and then the other half of the time they're great friend and acting silly together.

They must've found a photo booth when we went to disney a couple of years ago and promptly got in and pulled all these funny faced photos. Such divas the pair of them they'll go far!

This is another of shimelle's sketches from her Love your pictures classes. I raided my odds and ends bin for all the paper strips.

Hope you are enjoying your week x

My family

2011-06-20T08:00:00.001+01:00

I'm loving working with sketches at the moment, it takes some of the stress off me and helps me to scrap more photos quickly.

This one is Shimelles sketch from this week. I happened to have this large photo to hand (Paul's dad printed it off for me, he usually prints big pictures) Its of the kids, Paul and the dogs when they went for a walk round Bradgate park at Easter. It was a glorious day and they had loads of tales to tell me about climbing the rocks and what the dogs had been upto it made me smile and the quote from Cosmo crickets earth love collection just sums up what I feel about all of them.

Happy scrapping guys x

Happy fathers day.

2011-06-19T21:40:00.000+01:00

To two great dads!

The above card is a decopaged Marshmallow from Daisy and dandelion and down below is little messages from fizzy moon. I've coloured him with promarkers using a dotty spotty technique I saw in one of the craft mags a few weeks ago.

Anyway I hope you have enjoyed your day. My DH has been waited on hand and foot today starting with breakfast in bed (cooked no less!) from me, cups of tea from the kids (I had to make my own!) and his mum made him his dinner.

We've also stocked him up with pants, sweeties,a tie and a new mug. How lucky was he.

Ttfn xx

This holiday we...

2011-06-11T08:00:00.001+01:00

we watched dispicable me and laughed a lot!

We hid in Grandad's garden in all the flowers.

we made lego in the sun

We found these gorgeous peonies in Grandad's garden too

You planted your sunflowers in our garden using your new garden tools

Me and you went for a walk with the dogs.

Loved it :)

Because...

2011-06-09T08:00:00.000+01:00

After reading Shimelle's post the other day and looking at her girl power layouts I rummaged through my photos and found this old one of me with my then fluffy blanket.
Funnily enough the day previous to that I had tidied up my blanket/ bedding box and found that old blanket (minus the fluff as I pulled that out) It makes me smile when I find things like that by accident. Laura's blanket was in there too and Ollie's pram blanket knitted by Paul's mum.... such lovely treasures to keep.

Happy Anniversary Chic xx

2011-06-08T08:00:00.001+01:00

Happy Anniversary to us today.

Love you loads xxx

Lollipop lollipop

2011-05-31T10:19:00.000+01:00

Just a quickie today... a layout of my youngest and his huge lolly that his dad got him in America last year. (Can you tell I wasn't there???) Its another of Shimelle's sketches and talking about Shimelle, go check out her post today as she is donating all class money from people signing up to classes today to the Because I am a girl campaign. They help children in poverty get back on their feet.
I've signed up for this one which one will you sign up for today?
Have a good day :) xx

Stuffed!

2011-05-28T08:00:00.001+01:00

So here is the bear the small boy chose. It turned out to be the same one as we had looked at on the internet and was the one at the very end of the row in the shop. You waited very patiently in the queue a little quiet, I think you were wondering what was going to happen to the floppy teddy. You decided to add a giggle sound inside and a real heart beat, you made a wish with your eyes tightly shut before you put it in and then you pressed the foot peddle to fill him with stuffing and bring him to life.
Once he was stuffed and sewn you gave him a brush and began choosing many outfits you would like for him (we had to put a few back!!!) Then to the computer to fill out his birth certificate you decided to call him Oreo.

And here you are with him. I hope you have many great adventures together...he will be your very special bear x Lots of love mummy xx

ps
we just need to keep him out of Bella's way...

PYO

2011-05-26T08:00:00.001+01:00

Another layout completed using a sketch by Shimelle. These photos were taken last year on my phone camera. They've been there a while as I could never get them to send to my email. Last week I got myself a polaroid pogo printer which I love (although its very temprementle and the quality of print is not great) But its instant, requires NO ink and it will print pics from my phone. Sounds good to me :)
We went to our local PYO on a gorgeous afternnoon and picked loads of strawberries as I had a bee in my bonnet about making strawberry jam and had just purchased a new jam kettle and needed to be seen using it lol!
The jam was super yummy and I made sure my nearest and dearest got to try some with scones and clotted cream :)
Enjoy your week x

For a friend

2011-05-24T08:00:00.001+01:00

I made this magnolia card for my friend who wanted to give a special card for a work coleague who was entering a competition. I've coloured with promarkers, added a distressed doily and wild orchid flowers then sprayed with glimmer mist.
Ttfn x

Happy Birthday (again! last time for a while!)

2011-05-22T21:12:00.000+01:00

Ollie!!

This is our card for him. I used the Tatty bear stamp that came free on the latest docrafts mag. He is a cutie. Very apt for Ollie this birthday as we went to Build a bear on Saturday to make him a new bear for his birthday. (Will add pics later on in the week)

He insisted on a DS birthday cake and blew out all his candles.

We've had a super day, hope you have too :)

April olw

2011-05-17T08:00:00.001+01:00

This layout today is for my April's one little word album. I spent an afternoon in the Easter holiday making up this oh so cute skirt from Clothkits Paul took the dogs and kids out walking and I had this very strange but wonderful bit of piece and quiet. I have to say that I am really proud of myself, my olw is "patience" something I'm working quite hard on keeping, especially with projects like this as they easily frustrate me if things start to go wrong.
Luckily my new sewing machine worked like magic and the pattern and instructions were really easy to follow so all stayed very peaceful and quiet!

Looks like my word will be a good for me this year.
Thanks for dropping by x

6x4 love

2011-05-15T21:59:00.001+01:00

I'm loving Shimelle's 6x4 love and Aprils sketch was fitting 4 photos onto a layout. I've used some from when Paul and the kids went over to America for Karen and Jonathans wedding. I think it was an emotional day for us all. They looked so gorgeous and handsome. They had a fab day and Paul kept me updated on facebook...

This is underneath the flap and a picture of all 3 of the kids together.
I just wish I could have been there too.

Happy Birthday...

2011-05-12T08:00:00.003+01:00

Dad!!!

Hope you have a nice day.

He's a bit of a gardner so I thought this LOTV In the shed would suit him well.

Big hugs and kisses to you Dad today. Thank you for all the stuff you do for me and the kids.

Ttfn xx

Mmmmm....

2011-05-11T16:43:00.000+01:00

More macarons :)

We went to Dobbies the garden centre on Sunday afternoon. It was fab! There were gift shops galore, kids toys, the nice ones with gruffalo and hungry caterpillar stuff which I love, a pet shop a restaurant, crikey I could go on forever! There was also a book shop where I picked up a book about making macarons. Good, really good and pretty pictures. These are rose water flavoured pink macarons. They are super yum, and there is only me eating them as the children declare they don't like them...hmm...not so good, or is it ;) lol! I'm going to try the green mint chocolate ones next week and then make some lemoncurd with my egg yolks that are appearing in abundance at the moment hee hee.
Ttfn xx

These boots..

2011-05-10T08:00:00.002+01:00

I've scrapped a picture from last year. I love my wellington boots and wear them most times for dog walking and the like. I think they are rather pretty. This was taken on one of our autumn walks near our home. I loved walking through the leaves they were beautiful colours.
I've used paper oddments from my stash so I'm not sure what they are. The leaf stamp is a house mouse one and I've used the SU mister to add a little colour.
Thanks for dropping by x

Plum

2011-05-08T20:46:00.000+01:00

This weekend I've done this to my hair (eek!) Its plum, I love the colour, although I feel it might be a bit dark for me.

And I've made this layout using one of Shimelles recent sketches. My mum found out all these (and more) little photos of me and mum, dad, grandma, grandad and my Uncle Graham on holiday in Skegness many moons ago. I think I was about 2 years old. I love my spotty mop cap and very blonde hair! A big contrast to the above picture :) Isn't it funny all sitting behind that wind break, we still do that now on our holidays to Wales around the tent and then taken down and packed in the car for the beach. Some things never change.
Hope you've had a fun filled weekend, we called in at another garden centre today. It was a very nice one and I managed to snag myself a Macarons recipe book... looking forward to experimenting.

Happy Birthday

2011-05-06T08:00:00.001+01:00

Mum!

(Yes we have a few birthdays in May lol!)

Today is my mum's birthday and here is my card for her.

I hope you have a really wonderful day today.

Lots of love xxx

Happy birthday

2011-05-03T08:00:00.001+01:00

Jamie!

Jamie is a big 10 today and this is our birthday card for him.
He is not best pleased as he is back at school today, but we will have a little birthday tea for him later on today. I can't quite get my head round how fast all my babies are growing up!
Anyways Happy Birthday Jamie, I hope you have a lovely day xxx

Yesterday

2011-05-02T10:34:00.001+01:00

We have had a lovely weekend, lots of excitement with the royal wedding. Kate looked stunning, Will was so handsome and Harry...mmm. We had a great party with family and friends after and I thoroughly enjoyed myself!
Yesterday was a little more sedate, Paul and Ollie had fun in the garden setting hanging baskets and pots for the garden. They did a mighty fine job and I'm looking forward to watching everything grow. Paul has been working very hard this holiday in the garden and its looking lovely.

Meanwhile I made some of these beauties! Pink macarons! They are filled with white chocolate ganache and absolutely divine... I'm in love!

And finally at the end of the day I suddenly noticed this wonderful sunset! A perfect end to a perfect day :) xxx
P.S Note to Anita... the quote from the blow LO was from the cosmo cricket earth love paper pack I have just chopped it up to fit on the page and I used SU markers on the Su spritzer to add the "splatter" and the pearls are green sparkly ones from paper mania. Hope this helps xx

Blow

2011-04-30T08:00:00.002+01:00

A trip out by the lake last week found us looking out over a sea of dandelion clocks!
Ollie immediately bent down and picked one and started huffing and blowing the seeds. They were a bit stuborn at first but eventually they began to float away.
He absolutely delighted in picking more as we walked round blowing all the seeds into the air.
Have a good bank holiday xx

Happy Birthday Laura!

2011-04-29T08:00:00.002+01:00

Happy birthday today to my gorgeous girlie. She's entering her teens today so I think this maybe the last time I'll get away with a cutie card like this :)
We are having a party this after birthday/wedding party with some of our friends and family. I'm feeling rather excited for Kate and Wills! She is absolutely gorgeous and I think she will make a perfect princess.
Enjoy your celebrations today, and thank you for all the lovely comments you are leaving for me I appreciate them all :) xxx

Purple fairy card

2011-04-28T08:00:00.003+01:00

Sharing a quick LOTV fairy card with you. It was for Paul's aunty's birthday last week. She is a little more sparkly in real life as are the flowers, I put lots of stickles on them.
Enjoy the bank holiday weekend! :)

Waves in Wales

2011-04-26T08:00:00.002+01:00

On our recent trip to Wales in February we stopped off in Cricieth for a play on the beach and ice cream after. (Because you do in Wales when we go no matter what the temperature is outside lol!)

Ollie was ready in his wellies to hit the waves for a paddle...well thats what he thought until mummy decided she needed black and white pictures of said waves rising over the top of said wellies!

Ollie exclaimed that the wave heading to him was rather large, Its ok Ollie go back a bit was my reply!

Picture captured!!!

I have used Shimelle' s 3 6x4 photo sketch for this layout.

Happy Easter!

2011-04-24T08:00:00.002+01:00

Happy Easter to everyone! I hope the Easter bunny brings you lots of chocolate! (and as I'm scheduling I hope he brings me lots too :)
Here is one of the 10! Easter cards I've made this year using this gorgeous stamp from Lili of the valley and coloured with promarkers and polychromos. (look them sneaky little rabbits get everywhere.
Enjoy your Easter Sunday
Hugs xx

Look.....

2011-04-22T21:14:00.000+01:00

Lots and lots of Easter bunnies!! I have had a great time making these! Although everytime I think I have enough I remember someone else who I can make one for :)
I have use an egg shape basket template from The digi chick ( click into the shop and then onto the templates there are loads!) which I cut out with my cricut and then punched out the various shapes for the facial bits and feet. I curled some wire round a paint brush and attached with foam pads for whiskers. I've filled them with a yummy malteser rabbit and varios mini eggs.
I think they are super cute!

I love tulips

2011-04-14T08:00:00.001+01:00

Love the light on this one

These were all taken in my Dad's garden at the weekend, so beautiful.
I like lots of flowers (gerberas are my favourite favourites!) but tulips are a definate close second.
I'm going to make sure we get some spring bulbs into our garden for next year. Dad's garden is just blooming and its gorgeous :)

2011-04-12T08:00:00.001+01:00

It was my lovely sisters birthday on Saturday and this is the card I made for her. It's a folded card from a tutorial at Stampartic I have used a Lili of the valley image called sprinkled with sugar and you can get it here Unfortunatly the camera didn't pick up on the glittery bit on the card .
So a little belated happy birthday Heather big hugs xx

This weekend we...

2011-04-10T20:51:00.000+01:00

Found lots of these

Had one of these

Went to the garden centre to look for a tree

And we also did a little bit of this :)

Hope you had a lovely weekend too xx

Happy mothers day

2011-04-03T08:00:00.001+01:00

Happy mothers day to all us mums :)
These are my mothers day cards this year for my mum and Paul's mum.
I thank God everyday that our mum's are still here with us, they truely are a gift and can't imagine life without them.
Sometimes though I think when your a child/teen you don't really appreciate exactly what our mum's do for us...I know I didn't. I also think that its not until you have children of your own do realise what we actually put our mums through!
A couple of weeks ago I decided to venture into my lovely daughters bedroom, you know to give it a good clean out. I'm glad I did, but oh what a mess! What with nail varnish, makeup, sweet wrappers and the biggest pile of washing you have ever seen, I wish I hadn't! It took the best part of Sunday to get it tidy.
I was telling my mum about it later on in the week...she just raised an eyebrow, laughed and said I knew someone else like that... Obviously she was talking about my sister because I'm sure it wasn't me ;P
Us mum's put up with a lot, enjoy every bit of pampering you get today and love every minute .....
we deserve it!!
Love you mum xxxx

I will learn.....

2011-03-28T21:47:00.000+01:00

Our blogging prompt today from Shimelle was to think about blogging and scrapping for the future. As she says in her prompt we usually scrap the past or present, but rarely the future. She asked us to think about setting a goal, something to aim for and to record this in some way.
Right at this moment I feel I have many things to set goals for (I have numerous projects on the go and really could do with an extra day in the week!) I am trying to lose a bit of weight, trying to exercise (not succeeding although I am enjoying swimming everyweek) I want more family time, I have a skirt that I need to sew... and many more I'm sure you get the picture.
But right now, right this minute I want to learn how to use my camera, to be able to take good pictures and learn to be more creative, maybe even being able to to manipulate them with photoshop.
I have signed up to do a short course at college, just the basics and hopefully this will start after Easter.
I'm looking forward to meeting people in the same boat as me, just learning, I'm eager to pick up new tips, compare photos and share ideas.

So this is for Grandad.. I will learn and I will learn well :)

Today..

2011-03-27T20:27:00.001+01:00

I enjoyed listening to Ollie read his reading book to me. Bella enjoyed having her photo took too :)

Scrapped

2011-03-24T22:45:00.000Z

I know this photo keeps on appearing on here but I have now finally scrapped it!
So this is the hot chocolate I had in Wales while DH,DDand both DS' had icecream :) As it was February I kinda thought it was a bit too chilly for icecream...but I made sure I tried ALL their icecreams just to make sure it tasted ok!
My blog post for Shimelle's class are a little mixed up as I joined a bit late so I think this might be prompt 2/3 as it is listed in my favourites and I've also added some hidden journaling on a tag behind the photo.

Here's a close up I have sprayed with a bit of cosmic shimmer but I didn't think about my computer on the floor as I turned and sprayed it onto the card....DOH...hence a sparkly edge on said laptop. It does look pretty though!
Anyways its Friday tomorrow and I'm looking forward to a busy weekend and hopefully lots of sunshine, although the weatherman has just told me its going to get colder again :( But wait!!! More reasons for me to have more hot chocolates! (Like I need an excuse???)
xxxx

My favourites...

2011-03-23T23:11:00.000Z

right now I'm loving these beautiful sunsets

Spring flowers appearing in the garden (well dad's garden)

Loving my camera and taking photos.

Chocolate :) of course

And picking up Ollie from school, sharing stories about his day (and constantly hearing how hungry he is and "have you bought me something??") and while we wait for Laura and Jamie he reads me his reading book and practises his new words...just loving that :)

So this is another quick post. I'm hoping to scrap tomorrow inbetween a run/jog/walk and school pick up.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Blogging...

2011-03-22T22:08:00.000Z

for scrapbookers.

This is Shimelle's new online class. I thought I might join in.

This is my blogging place (amongst others round the house) but this one is my favourite, its where I am now.

So today it's just a short post to blog about what I want to get from this class.

I want to scrap more

therefore to blog more of what I scrap

but I want my blog posts to be more than just what materials I've used....to have more meaning

to blog everyday life too

but not necessarily everyday

I also may need to find 3 hours more everyday too!!!

Swallow falls

2011-03-19T09:53:00.000Z

Hello me dears! What a beautiful morning here :) Its very quiet too as DD is out at dance class and then her friends, DS 1 has just left for football and DH is at work....again! Me and Ollie have just had waffles (Ollie) and bagels with some philly (me) yum.
I have washing out on the line for the second time this year (unfortunately there is plenty more to wash too) and its looking as though it will be a super day for taking photos too :)
I managed an afternoon in the craft room yesterday and came up with this layout from our daytrip to Wales. I've been shifting papers round and round on it all week and actually its turned out nothing like what I first imagined.... but I like it and thats what matters.

I've stamped up my free spirit waltzing mouse stamp in versa mark ink and embossed it and then distressed it with distress ink. My swallow charm and ribbon is from Tim Holtz. I've added a bit of bling too, the label is a creative expression sticker. Papers are from my stash box.

Don't forget to look at the moon this evening (I know I'm getting sadder in my old age!) But its going to look bigger tonight as its closer to the earth ;)
thanks for stopping by xxx

Puppy dog

2011-03-14T21:29:00.000Z

Not sure where all the time is disappearing to at the moment.... and worse still my lovely husband keeps pinching my craft room!!! i think because I've tidied it up and made some space (for me!) he thinks its his again.

I made this last week, one afternoon before picking up the kids. Its my Bella when she was a puppy. I think it was the first night we had her at our house. She's so cute :)

I've used a few bits out of the Make and Create February true love kit- lace, pins, heart banner and the lacey flower.

I've put some journaling lines on and I'll pop that on later.

Thanks for stopping by xx

2011-03-10T22:58:00.000Z

A quick post to share this birthday card with you. Its a digi by Heather Ellis and you can find her here in her pure innocence range. I think she is very sweet.
She is coloured with promarkers and my papers are my minds eye (again! But they are so summery) and I've used a magnolia border die. The stitching stamp is from waltzing mouse.
Back soon :)

Big school

2011-03-04T18:38:00.001Z

At the start of January this year my youngest started infant school. I can't believe where the time goes as it doesn't seem that long ago since I bought him home from hospital!
I've finally found some super embellishments to compliment my photo and theme for this layout. I got them in a kit from this lovely little shop here called "The make and create shop". Anna has some gorgeous little handmade embellishment kits, put together with love as you can tell when you recieve them , they are beautifully wrapped and the feb kit was divine!! Go take a peek :)
Ollie is absolutely loving school and now into his 2nd term. He loves his reading and enjoys playing his maths games...but not into writing just yet lol! I think thats a boy thing as neither is Jamie.
Off to make some tea x thanks for stopping by xx

I saw it and needed one ;)

2011-03-03T08:00:00.001Z

I was watching Tim Holtz on QVC last week and fleetingly, this little necklace caught my eye. I don't think it was shown much but when I saw it I knew I wanted one too! I think Tim' s word was wonderful.
This is the image I would have liked as a tattoo.. heart with wings ... my thinking is a bit like a guardian angel around my heart (sad I know :)) but I chickened out and now its too late cos I'm not allowed one now as i'm imunosupressed (apologies for the spelling!)
Anyway I used Tim's charms and coloured the heart with the red alcohol ink, read a book (lol nearly!) to find the word "patience" which is my One little word and then covered it with crackle accents and let it dry. I'm loving the crackled look its given the heart.
My big 2 set eyes on it tonight and they both want one too!

Ttfn xx

2011-03-02T21:29:00.000Z

I know ... t'is another Odd girl :) Really loving these at the moment. This is Mae posies. She is coloured with promarkers. Over on the Odd girl blog there is a challenge to add a handmade embellishment to your project. Mine is a rose type flower, originally stuck down with double sided tape but overnight it pinged off the card so I had to attack it with the glue gun lol!
I've used some rather gorg october afternoon fly a kite papers... love polka dots finding it hard to keep cutting into them as I would just like to stroke them!

Anyway I'm going to enter my card into 2 challenges, the Some odd girl challenge for my handmade embellishment and Passion for promarkers who would like to see "sugar rush" .
Thanks x

2011-03-01T08:00:00.001Z

Caught this beautiful sunset on Sunday evening with my camera, in none other than full manual mode!!
I'm quite impressed .... :)
I have borrowed a rather posh lens from the father in law its a tamron 18-270mm its cool. Need to do a bit of saving up now to get my own.

And here's a wider view. We look out over this field from our bedroom window, eventually its going to be a football pitch, great for my boys :)
Thanks for looking.

Happy anniversary mum and dad!

2011-02-28T08:00:00.001Z

This card is for my Mum and Dad who celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary today! It doesn't seem that long since we had their party last year...time is flying.
The card template is from Lauren Meader HERE and I cut it out on my cricut. The papers are new ones from My minds eye- Stella and rose (Aren't they just gorgeous!) And the stamp is a digital one from the stamp fairy called Lenny and Linda in love.

Here's a closer look at the image. I've coloured with promarkers and added a bit of depth with a brown polychromo.

Mum , Dad have a lovely day... big hugs xxx

2011-02-25T18:00:00.000Z

Been practising with my new camera and lens, so I asked Paul to take us to Wales for the day yesterday. (Ha not just for this here delish hot choc) But to visit all the places we love to go. We started off at Swallow Falls where I got these shots practising my shutter speeds.

This is taken with a fast shutter speed and you see all the movement of the water.

And this one is a slow shutter speed where it slows the water movement. The lighting is better on this one too (need to practise my iso next me thinks!)

Here's one of the family (Holly had a bag on and didn't want her picture took lol!)

And one of Ollie getting his feet wet just for mum to take pics lol!
Thanks for dropping by have a lovely weekend!

2011-02-23T18:10:00.000Z

Another Odd girl creation. I had seen somewhere on a challenge blog where the challenge was to use coffee and cream colours. Great thinks me...mmm I'll use my polychromos not used them for ages.
Anyway when I looked to see what the challenge blog was I found that it was the passion for promarkers blog... DOH!!
Well heres me card not entered into that challenge!
Hope your enjoying time off for the hols.
Hugs Debbie x

2011-02-20T08:00:00.001Z

Another Odd girl image fell in my shopping basket last week (its ok she was from the retirement "sale") lol! Because that of course justifies it :)
She's called Sweey Kaylee. I made this card for my Uncle's wife I think she will like it. Notice the little butterflies...there will be more ;)
Paper is October afternoon and stamps are Lili of the valley.
Enjoy your day
hugs Debbie x

Loveable rogues??

2011-02-19T16:33:00.000Z

But of course :)
I thought my scrapbook mojo had gone a little astray, but I was pleased last night with this layout. These are my 3 and my sisters 2 kids all together having a "proper" photo session.
We bought mum and dad a voucher for their wedding anniversay for them and the kids to have their pics taken altogether... we had loads done and even me and Heather joined in too.
Love this one of the kids, but it took ages to get them looking nearly all the same way! Fun times!

heres a close up of them, how very cute lol!
Loving the butterfly and gems/pearls think they look very pretty. The stamped butterflies are from the parisian anthology set by pink paislee.
thanks for dropping by xx ttfn x

Another Tiddly ink image that fell in my basket...but I really needed this one! Ollie is at a party (another one he has a better social life than me!) next week and the invite had pirates on it , so I thought Dread pirate Dylan and the treasure map was perfect!!!
I printed the map out larger for the background and again to go just behind him. Dylan is coloured with promarkers. I printed the sentiment out on my computer.

Running/ jogging/power walking is going well, I bought some hand weights today and they are great, although akward when trying to hold dog leads and when dogs run off to sniff other dogs then trip one over whilst barking madly at a bigger dog lol!!! I only hope there weren't too many other people watching ;)
I put my shuffle on today and it really helped to run just that little bit further. Going to go straight after work tomorrow ...without the dogs and see how I get on its a bit of a longer route.
Thanks for visiting!

2011-02-08T08:00:00.002Z

Another Tiddly Ink image that fell into my shopping basket :) I love the robots Christy creates and so does my little one he loves to colour them in. I coloured him in with my promarkers and added him to this side step card. Papers are from my stash and I can't remember what they're called. I stamped the hearts with swirl stamps from autumn leaves and I didn't have all the right letters left for the sentiment...so I hope you can tell what it says lol!

I also added him to this Lauren Meader (for papertrey ink) tucked away box that I've had printed out for ages , I think I'll fill it with some nice choccys for Ollie.

My little poser

2011-02-07T08:00:00.003Z

As well as trying to juggle mant things in life, I'm trying to learn how to use my camera properly and then edit etc in photoshop...trying being the main word here lol!
Anyway I have a very willing helper in the form of youngest son Ollie who loves posing for the camera :)
I took this shot yesterday while out walking the dogs... it melted my heart when we came and I had chance to have a proper look.
We had a lovely walk even though it was very windy and nearly blew us away!
TTFN x

Twas the night....

2011-02-06T08:00:00.002Z

before Christmas...hee hee my second Christmas card. I fell in love with this stamp set from Waltzing mouse stamps and this image from Mo Manning. I didn't get round to using them last Christmas, so I've made sure I'll have some ready this year. I think you will see this sleepy mouse again, hes a cutey.

Heres a close up of him in his little tea cup bed. I've coloured him with promarkers, the ribbon is from my stash and the flower and lace is from wild orchid crafts.

hey cupcake!

2011-02-05T22:15:00.001Z

I've been admiring these digi images for a while so I popped over to the Some odd girl shop and purchased this one called Baker Kaylee. I love cupcakes so I thought it was very me.
Running..jogging/power walking is going well I went out everyday except Friday as it was blowing a gale lol! The dogs think its great and are waiting for me as soon as I walk through the door.

Heres a close up of Kaylee I think shes got beautiful eyes :)

I heart icecream

2011-01-31T13:06:00.001Z

A quick post to show my latest scrapbook page. Took these photos of Ollie when we went to disney. We had a relaxing afternoon by the pool before going back to the magic kingdom in the evening. The big 2 had found some friends so me Paul and Ollie sneaked across to the pool cafe and had a super yummy icecream :)
I think these photos just show how much he was enjoying it!

a little early :)

2011-01-31T13:05:00.000Z

Ha! So this is my first christmas card of 2011... I'm going to try and make one everyweek, the theory is that I will have more time to make handmade gifts instead of job lots of cards...hmmm we'll see.
Sorry the picture is a little blurry, light wasn't great yesterday.

I've used some gorgeous wild orchid craft flowers and my lovely magnolia with a star. Papers are left over mitten weather from cosmo cricket.
Well today I have decided to start jogging... there said it. I have been out for 10 minutes today (gotta build up slowly lol this girl ain't fit!!) Really want to try and keep it up. Early days though, let you know how much I ache hee hee.
Enjoy the rest of your Monday, need to go and fill my cupboards.

Count your rainbows...

2011-01-29T11:03:00.000Z

At Tiddly inks this week the challenge is to use a quote. I decided to use the kid quotes from inkadinkado. I found this super image called Donna which I coloured with promarkers and added rainbow papers a cloud and sun and little drop of crystal effects to look like rain.
Had a lovely afternoon scrapping yesterday, a real change from housework :) will post my layout later.

2011-01-24T13:03:00.000Z

Finally got in the craft room yesterday to finish up this twisted easel card. I've made it for one of Ollie's friends as he has been invited to her birthday party (first one in big school) in February.

I've used the gorgeous fairy stamp from LOTV and coloured her with promarkers and added lots of stickes and marshmallow glimmer mist so it really sparkles. The papers are indian summer by basic grey and the seam binding is from the ribbon girl...strawberry glaze.

Heres a close up of the sentiment (craftwork cards) and flowers (wild orchid crafts) I'm going to add a tag at the back when I can pin Ollie down to write it!
What is it about boys and writing? We're doing great with reading (he loves books) but writing .... nope no thank you! Ah well.

Enjoy the rest of the day and thanks for visiting :)

Us

2011-01-21T19:24:00.000Z

I've been looking through photos recently and found this one of me and Paul when we went to Disney in 2009. I think the kids must have taken it as we queued for the boat to take us to the magic kingdom. its not very often we get photos together its usually one or the other with the kids (very usually Paul) I'm the one who holds the camera. I've done a 6" x 12" size as I have an empty album and want to start and fill it. Its also a small photo so I thought this size would be ideal.

Heres a close up around the photo. I've used some stamps from the parisian anthology collection (you may see a lot of these babies cos I really like them ) and I used my prima flowers that I've had for ages but I thought they looked quite nice :)
I really like this style of scrapping so I may make some more of these layouts.
Enjoy your weekend...the housework is beckoning me... again :(

2011-01-19T13:23:00.000Z

I'm not quite sure whats happening to my craft time just lately but I don t seem to have any! Trouble is I can't seem to notice what I am doing with my time either lol!
Paul was out last night so while I watched "My big fat gypsy wedding" I moved into the lounge to make this card for my Aunty, its her birthday on Monday.
I've used a Lili of the valley image 'tea party' and coloured it with promarkers. The papers are basic grey indian summer and I got the pink seam binding (I think its pink tulip) from the Ribbon girl.
Right I'm off to make another cuppa as the dog has just jumped off the settee and knocked it off the table..grrrrr!

Patience

2011-01-12T22:18:00.000Z

My one little word for 2011.
I don't like showing off pictures of myself, but as it was the first assignment Ali set I thought I had better get the camera on self timer being as no one is ever around to take it for me!
I'm not overly enthusiastic about this photo, but I think it shows me where I'm at right now.
I chose patience as my word as it is definately something I need to work on with my nearly teenage daughter and for balance in my own life. (and for learning how to use photoshop elements!!!)
I've been looking for quotes and found this one by John Quincy Adams.

"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."

I'm looking for that magical effect :)
Just waiting on supplies now to finish my little atc cards.
Back soon x

Boy birthday card

2011-01-11T13:10:00.000Z

Just a quick one this was Jack's birthday card I made him for his birthday last Saturday. I don't know but I find boy cards difficult but I love these boy images from lotv I may invest in some more.
Ollie was fine yesterday, he ate most of his lunch (although "he told me he didn't want a cheese string" lol)
and he also had a little sticker on his jumper that said "star of the day" . One very proud mummy :)

First day

2011-01-10T13:40:00.000Z

So today is my little boys first proper full day at school!!! My mum took him in this morning with his book bag and sandwich box. She said he was fine and didn't even say bye!
Its very quiet here.... oh and I'm watching my telly lol!
I think he was rather excited last night and couldn't get to sleep so I'm hoping it will be early nights all round tonight.
I hope hes ok......

Messy desk

2010-12-17T20:44:00.000Z

How very messy! This was the scene on my craft desk yesterday as I was on the race against time to finish up my teacher gifts. I made 6 candle gift cards and I used a Lauren Meader for Papertrey ink template (I think its called its on the house) for Jamies teacher.

This is the finished front of the card using a Christmas magnolia stamp. I used a tutorial , I think it was from the whiff of joy inspiration blog, but I forgot to write it down.

Here's 3 of them wrapped in bags and tired with ribbon and a button. These were for the wonderful ladies at breakfast club.

And finally this is Laurens template filled with goodies for Jamie's teacher. Think thats it for now :)

Helllooo!!!

2010-12-11T23:02:00.000Z

Hello people :) I've been a very bad blogger recently due to broken laptops and ok general lazyness. I have been busy with Christmas cards and the like but just not been taking photos....doh! Anyways I've made this LOTV card as a commision for my friend. Its for her sisters 50th birthday. I love the cupcake thing.
talking cupcakes I made gingerbread cupcakes today... they are very yummy and smell divine and christmassy and have been approved by my sweet sister :) I may try some mince pie flavor ones tomorrow if I get time. Will post some pics.
xoxoxo

The engineer

2010-11-06T17:19:00.000Z

Hi folks :)
I have been wanting to get my hands on some digi images from Mo's digital pencil for ages and Grandads birthday gave me a great opportunity to aquire some.... I love this image and Grandad loves trains so this is perfect its called the engineer. I've coloured with promarkers and my new love of adding some of my polychromos. I went for a sepia effect using satin, pastel beige, cinnamon and umber and a dark brown polychromo. I hope he likes it :)

Spinner challenge

2010-11-01T21:16:00.001Z

This is my card for the Tiddly inks challenge this week. Christy and the team asked us to make a spinner card. I've used Purrrfect as my image and coloured him with promarkers.

Here he is having a little spin :) Sorry for the short post but I'm shattered tfl x

LOTV Christmas

2010-11-01T07:00:00.002Z

Well Halloween is over so now its straight onto Christmas lol! I made these simple Christmas cards using James Bear in the snow. I've coloured him with promarkers and then used my polychromos to give some added depth. I love the finished image. I stamped him straight onto the kraft card and added stickles and liquid pearls for sparkle and texture. I punched a scallop circle and stamped the sentiment onto an insert inside the card.
Here's another one using James Bear and a pile of presents. Thanks for looking xxx

Boo!! Happy Halloween

2010-10-31T20:45:00.000Z

Pride and joy birthday card

2010-10-30T07:00:00.002+01:00

This is a birthday card for my Father-in-law it was his birthday yesterday. I've used the sketch by Bev (loosly) on the lili of the valley challenge blog , I wanted to keep it nice and simple as its for a man ;) the stamp is called pride and joy. (very apt as he has just had a new car) The papers are from joy ride by cosmo cricket, sentiment is craftwork cards and card is SU.

Last 3 treat bags

2010-10-29T07:00:00.002+01:00

Remember my earlier post on treat bags? Well these are the other 3. They are for my kids and my niece and nephew on Sunday. We are having a little halloween tea party. Me and laura are going to start some baking tomorrow expect some frosted green cupcakes and severed fingers soon!!!

Pumpkin art.....

2010-10-28T22:01:00.000+01:00

My kids way :) This is Laura concentrating very hard. She chose a pattern and carved it herself.

Jamie decided to carve his own face without a pattern sheet.

And Ollie tried really hard but mummy had to help as he just kept sawing in the same place! we had a really fun morning and the kids really enjoyed carving their pumpkins. After lunch we decorated the hall ( I so wish I lived in America as I'd love to decorate all outside the house too!) And when it got dark the pumpkins looked like this.....

Happy spooking :)

Halloween.....

2010-10-27T23:03:00.000+01:00

Disney style :)
Another layout using Kirsty's sketch this week. I loved it! I've used my lovely echo park papers and pretty much inked and distressed everything. The boo stamp is from waltzing mouse. Instead of adding flowers I added a ruffle of SU ribbon.
While the kids were in Disney they had thechance to attend Mickey's halloween party! They all 3 got dressed up and held their treat bags open wide!!! (They brought some home for me too!)

And here's a little close up of the gorgeous lettering that comes in the paper pack :)

Little witch hats

2010-10-26T07:00:00.001+01:00

I've wrapped up some of those big quality street caramels to look like little witch hats (using my very gorgeous echo park papers and stickers)
They are very simple to make using half a circle of paper and wrapping it around the choccie with the curved side at the bottom until you have made a cone shape. Then cut a smaller circle for the brim of the hat and adhere the chocolate with a glue dot or foam pads.

Snow mowing

2010-10-24T07:00:00.001+01:00

This is my latest scrap page from Kirsty's Wednesday night online crop. We used a sketch provided by Emma (one of the online participants). this is my youngest playing out in the snow back in january. He was having great fun and when I asked him what he was upto he replied " I'm snow mowing". :)

Treat bags double

2010-10-23T21:39:00.000+01:00

Well I've been super lazy this week and not been in the craft room much. I'm working on making some treat bags for my little halloween party next week. I made these from a 12 x 12 patterned paper and added a topper to the front. The image is Higglety from Tiddly inks and she is coloured with promarkers, the background is stamped using WMS and then I've added a bag closure to the top which is punched using the drippy goo Martha punch.
I think I'm going to fill them with halloween marshmallows :) I'm entering this into this weeks Tiddly inks challenge for treat bags.

I've got 5 to make, heres another one using witchy Daisy from squiggle stamps, same papers and colours and I'm entering this into the Squiggle stamps challenge which is all things autumn.

Halloween treats

2010-10-17T22:40:00.000+01:00

I have some Halloween treats to share with you today. I've made some twist top boxes and decorated them with some Tiddly ink images for their challenge this week which is anything halloween.
These boxes are really quick to put together and there is a tutorial here.
My tiddly ink digis are the freebie pumpkin (from the halloween blog hop in July) ,Franko Boto and Betty Belfrey. They are all coloured with promarkers. The sentiments and star stamp is from Waltzing mouse.
I'm also going to enter my boxes into the Passion for promarkers challenge wich is the colour combo of orange, green , black and purple.

Harry Potter

2010-10-16T11:48:00.001+01:00

How exciting are these images from Bugaboo!!!! I love HP and was delighted to recieve a gift from The lovely Karen and Jonathan on their return from their disney wedding of my own Harry Potter wand and griffindor quidditch t-shirt!! So when I saw these images they screamed a perfect thank you card :)
Bugaboo have a challenge on (finishes in about 20 mins so I'm trying to be quick lol) for a magical card and this is the card I've come up with. Papers are echo park and the Hp stamps are coloured in with promarkers.The card is from a tutorial by Bev on the Whiff of joy inspiration blog.
Thanks for looking x

My Princess

2010-10-15T14:32:00.000+01:00

This my beautiful girl when she was bridesmaid in Disney a few weeks a go. I'm gutted I wasn't there as everyone looks so lovely and the experience was very emotional by all accounts. Purple was the colour theme throughout but could I find a piece of patterned paper (or card for that matter) in my stash to match the sash on Lauras dress??? So instead i opted to pull out the olive green colour in the bouquet.
I have used kirsty's Wednesday night crop sketch, and I was watching the live stream too its a lot of fun Kirsty is fab, I'm just a little shy about joining in with the chat yet.
i love how its all come together without the purple colour in it, the dp is basic grey sweetpea jack, and the green is scenic route ( I think its a bit I found in my scraps box) the label is one I had in a scrapagogo kit, flowers are from woc and the letters are the same as last weeks (I know!) but I thought they were best match.
I love the circle with the gems on def my fave bit.

All white

2010-10-11T07:00:00.002+01:00

As you may know by now I'm not too hot on completing challenges on time, life always has a way of getting in the way of my crafting time ;)
This card is a sketch from the lili of the valley challenge a couple(?) of weeks ago. I've wanted to try the all white technique for a while, so when I got this angel from LOTV I thought it was the perfect image to use.
I lightly coloured around the edges of image with a pink promarker and used a blender pen to just soften the colour. The cardstock is white embossed bazzil and then I've used 2 embossing folders for added texture. I've gone round all the edges with stickles and added it to her wings and the martha snowflakes. I've used a nesti frame for the sentiment at the top.

Atc challenge

This week has been a strange one! Everyone has been getting over jet lag and I think I came out in sympathy with them, Ive felt so tired! Anyway I've managed to put together this little atc card for the Tiddly Ink challenge, I'm on a halloween drive now so be prepared... I've used the candy avengers image and given her some googly eyes to add to her disguise! The sentiment is waltzing mouse, I can t remember the papers (sorry) but I will look them up for next time as I've bought a few in this range. Cardstock is SU.
Just a short one today as I have some tidying up... it was the wedding reception over here last night and after us all getting ready the house looks like the honey monster has visited :) Have a lovely day we have sunshine here tfl x
