Goofing around

Seems ages since i have done an lo.
I have had these photos and papers for a while so thought now is the time. Thanks secret santa for the papers. They are perfect for boy's pages.

Have had fun today. Working out a layout for new kitchen. I am going to have an american style fridge which dispenses water and ice cubes. A dishwasher. A double oven. Only do not know how much it will cost as yet. fingers crossed it is not too much. Other wise i may have to increase my husbands working hours lol. Not really he would not fall for that one.
Going to try and make a card with the left over paper scraps. will download to night if i get time.
catch you later

Fat Freddies card comp.

I decided i would have a go at this months fat freddies card competition.
Thses are my attempts. I really enjoyed making them.




ONly when i came to read the instructions again i found i had not done them correctly.
Tha area on the right handside was to be made up of only paper and/ or card. And the embellisments were to be placed on the left.
So that now rules out the 'Snow' due to the ribbons and 'Thanks' because of the flowers and bling.

Still thought i would let you see them since i have slaved over a hot crafting table to make them.
Great day off again. Sleeping in every morning. It is fab not having to get up at6am, and waking up when i am ready, and not having run around like a mad chicken
takecare

Hi

I had a nice time in Scarborough. Stayed a bit longer than the weekend, as you have properly gathered. I have also been inspired to get the back room sorted in my house. I have out grown my craft room which is the small bedroom. We have a back room down stairs that is not really used for anything particular but it soon will be. I am in the process of stripping the wall paper and am going out to choose some paint later. Just need to find some nice storage units. Got any tips?
Here is my take on this weeks Di Hickman challenge.
Also have done a few cards which i left at my mums. She is in to card making aswell. Only does not get out and about much. I bought her a new sizzix sidekick and my dad got her some dies for it. She was over the moon and a i bet still merrilly cutting out hearts and flowers.
When i got home i made these two.


Going to be a glorious weekend weather wise. Hope you have a good one.

Glittery lo

Went to Fat Freddies First time i have been and it was very nice. It was nice meeting new fellow crafters and looking in a new shop. Of course spent more than i intended..
Made this lo. First time i have used glitter on a layout. Saw two others using it and the effects were great so thought what the hell try something new. Not all that sure i lkie it but then again i am a beginner with glitter.



In keeping with using up my scraps, although there was not many left. I made a glittery birthday card.

New heights and Sketch # 25

We went up on the Yorkshire Eye on Saturday. What a thrille. I am SO TERRIFIED of heights. I really did think 4 or 5 times about whether i would go up on it. Only i do not want to be ruled by fear. So i went, i had to talk to myself and say i was o.k. I felt hot and sickly. But i just kept on repeating to myself was o.k. I did eventully open my eyes to see some wonderful sights. So glad i did go on it. I feel really proud of myself for doing it.





Had a fantastic time at my sisters. With a little or a lot of the falling over juice.















Here is my take on cpd#25
