Embellished to within an inch...

Oooooh I enjoyed that! Might even be tempted to purchase some prima flowers.... Strangely enough it all came together quite quickly - quicker than some less embellished LO's, but then one photo LO's are always gonna be easier to do than multi photo ones. The more photos - the less scope for other elements eg. title, journaling etc. At least that's what I find. Just now I think I'm addicted to colour. Must be my way of compensating for the dreary grey skies we are having of late. I'm not surprised - it is "summer" in the UK after all!!! Hope you having some sunshine in your lives wherever you are!!!!

Lace Stamps...

Ooooh these really are lovely - such a lot of detail to them. I've been stamping and colouring... and faffing about with flowers. Tried making some paper roses but they were a bit on the (ahem) "dimensional" side. I'd get one LO in a scrapbook and even then I'd be lucky to close it properly. Ah well, back to the drawing board!!
Faffing Rocks!!!!

Holiday frustration...

Why does it rain all day, then once the kids have gone to bed - the sun comes out! Not much use to us holidaymakers - meh! Stuff it!! - were off to the park anyhoo!! Have to work off all the biscuits and cakes we've made and scoffed! Yum! My scones turned out deeeeelicious tho I say so myself. Pics to follow later... Have been playing with some new Anna Griffin lace stamps which are really gorgeous. I'm trying to do a really intricate, over embellished, over the top, Anna Griffin stylee LO and it's taking a while to get the right feel for it. The stamps are working well with it though. Could really do with one or two ornate border punches...hmmm!
Keep crafting!

Side view closeup!

Don't know why, but my pics never load up in order! Anyhoo I thought this side view of my mini cover lets you see how dimensional it is with all the yummy layers an tactileness! Die cutting rocks! Yay!

Heart shaped book - thankyou Big Shot!

Here's my first minibook using the heart Bigz die for the BS. Oh I could crank that handle all day...something quite theraputic about the simplicity of diecutting shapes. I put a bit of corrie cardboard through too and it cuts absolutely perfectly. So I glued some bits together, sliced up a bit of acetate - just for the hell of it (get me!)and dug out my Colorbok kit for embellies etc and this is what happened! Have a nosey round...

Summer holidays for fun stuff!!!

Well, today is thursday and the sun is shining! We've been busy outside in the sunshine down at the playpark at Castle Green, Broughty Ferry. The kids have been slathered in sunscreen and sprayed with waterjets and are now covered in gravely sand - in fact they are walking emery boards!!!! Gooodness that stuff won't come off!!!
Anyhoo, we have some finished craft projects to show!




Loadsa Blings!!! I "thinned them out a bit" cos you literally couldn't see a single letter or heart shape!!! Bless!!!
