Last one for 2007

This will be my last entry for 2007. I can not believe how fast this year as gone. So many things have happened. Warren gone to war. Luke started electric guitar lessons. New kitchen and scrap room. Which remains me i have not yet up loaded the photos. I need to take some when it looks reasonably tidy. Don't know when that will be.
I used the sketch from sketch this as the inspiration for this lo. Slightly adapted as i usually do. It is a picture of my friend amy. She lives in american now, but used to live here. I really miss her at times. She came back for a flying visit in april when this was taken. The papers are by creative imagination.

This is my attempt at the cps #45 sketch.
I got this fantastic card pack as a present to my self from craftwork carks. It iss lovely full of nice papers and different sized cards. atahese papers are from dcwv. The happy birthday card with the embossed dragonfly is from craftwork cards. I chalked it. Not chalked in a while.
Now need to work on my new year resolutions. Have a lovely new years eve. See you next year.

1st pencil lines sketch and Di Hickmans 4th dec sketch

This is my first attempt at one of the pencil lines sketches. I have adapted it. The photos where too big to go on one page so i did a double lo. I do like double lo's. They look better in the album. But single lo's have their place too. Sorry about the quality of the photo. The light is bad today. In fact most of the time at the moment the lighting is dull. Not good for taking good photo's. I have used the winter wonderland papers from craft work cards. They are lovely. I have also invested in some swirl dye cutters for the sizzix bigshot. I am really into swirls at the moment. I have used a crafters workshop template for the hand drawn ones. Hope you like it.

Have not done a sketch for ages. So here is mine on this weeks Di Hickmans.The papers are by basic gray. Used the notch and dye cutter for the scolloped edge.
Hope you all had a nice xmas. My sister got to speak to my nephew on xmas day, he is still safe and well. Although he was out on patrol on xmas day. He will be back to see us soon. It will be nice to see him. We are planning a second xmas for him which we will be able to really spoil him.
Takecare

Happy christmas day

Merry christmas to you all. Hope you have had a good day. I am so stuffed after the dinner. Know what the turkey feels like now.
Di hickman is calling for new team members. I thought i would have a go. I would just love to be in a design team. Anyway here is my attempt. I have used daisy d's papers.Along with a sizzix circle and a swirl dye cutter. The flower is chipbroad and made using a cuttlebug flower dye.
Must go and have nap now. Just feel soooo sleeeeepppyy.

merry christmas

Hope you all have a lovely time this christmas. I am so glad to be safe and sound at home. But i am thinking of those who for whatever reason are not with loved ones, or in a safe place. Takecare.

Still long time no post

Hi. I am still trying to get on top of things. Preparation and present buying for xmas. Sorting out my scrap room and try to do xmas cards. Have sent off my parcels for the boys out in afghanistan. Hope they get there in time. I have had to hunt for suitable things to send. I have sent chocolates, as well as other stuff, even though it says not too as it melts. Warren is really missing it and says he will squeeze it out if he has too.
I also had my first scrapbooking seession. The club we went too as closed down. So some of the others asked me to start on up. I do a layout and get the materials, and they pay me £7.oo. It was rally good. The response was great. Everyone loved it. There was 4 of them and we are looking for new members, so if you want to join us let me know.
And here is the first scrap page from the Jackie's happy scrappers club. So named by the members on the first session.

Takecare.

sorry

Hi i am sorry i have not blogged for a while. I have been so busy. The kitchen is nearly done. The floor is being laid as i type. Only the curtains to do. Or rather i should say blinds. I just need to get them chosen. Also my much awaited scrap room is taking shape. Lights are in. Wall unit fitted. Walls painted. Only the carpet to go back down. Should be in by the weekend. Fingers crossed.Will post some photos when done. Managed to fit in one card. Only nine hundred and ninety nine to go.
