A Music Themed Engagement Card ........


Hi everyone and happy Saturday to you.  I've had a super busy week with it being half term.  I've got my niece staying for a few days and I'm her and Grace to them to see a production of Grease this afternoon that is put on by the amateur dramatics group that runs in my village.  We have got good seats near the front so I hope it will be good.  Grace loves seeing a show and gets very grumpy when it ends as she doesn't want it finish!

Anyway onto my card   I was asked recently to make an engagement card with a music theme.  I was stumped on that one for a moment and then I remembered the gorgeous music ribbon and thought that would be the perfect way to incorporate music into my card!  

I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Thanks for stopping by.

Time to Twirl!


Hi everyone, I'm back today with another layout to share.  This is Grace twirling in a new nightie that she got for her Birthday.   I snapped this picture on my phone and I just loved the expression on Grace's face so I had to scrap it!   These are the little things we don't do as adults and they are fun to remember.  

I used a great sketch from Stuck to make my page and I would like to enter my layout into their challenge for their May 15th Sketch.

Flying Colours ....................


Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend.  We were out round friends yesterday for a BBQ so we have had a day at home today.  I managed to make one card that just didn't go right so I've given up crafting as a bad job today!  

I made this layout a few days ago using a sketch  from Stuck May 1st Sketch Challenge.  I would like to enter my layout into the challenge.

I'm off with Grace to the Fairy Fair tomorrow so I'm very excited about that!

A Spot of Gardening Fishing ...........


Hi everyone, I have a layout to share today which is about Grace practising her casting using an onion in the garden as you do!  I was working from home on this particular day as it was in half term and when I looked out of the window this is what I saw Grace and her Dad doing! It really made me laugh!  I passed the camera to Will and these were the shots that he got.

Lovely You Scrapbook Page .............


Hi everyone and happy Saturday to you.  I hope you are enjoying the weekend. I'm off to my sister's later today as it's her Birthday and we are going out for a meal so I'm looking forward to that. 

My layout today is one that I made to go in a frame to go hang in Grace's bedroom.  I took some inspiration from one of Wilna Furstenberg's layouts to make this page.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out and Grace really likes on her wall so that is good!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

A Card in a box .......


Hi everyone, I have a card in a box to share with you today which I made for Grace's Birthday back in April.  I used a kit to make the card that I won in a candy giveaway from my buddy Donna so this was nice and easy to make!  I mounted the LOTV fairies onto acetate so it looks like they are flying, well that was the idea anyway!

Here is another view, it wasn't very to photograph!


And finally a close up of the fairies!

Let it Go .............


Hi everyone, well if you know the Frozen film I'm sure you will have burst into song by now!  My little Grace is frozen mad so I really needed to do a layout to document that story and how she loves dressing up as Elsa! I'm sure it will be fun to look back on when she is all grown up! 

I followed a great sketch for this layout from The Studio Challenges for this layout and I would like to enter my layout into their sketch challenge this month.

A Card for a Runner ...................


Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend.  Well I completed my race on Sunday and Grace and Will did the fun run.  I managed to run 10k in 58 minutes and 35 seconds so I was really pleased with that.  We all got completely soaked but it was all worth it when we got our lovely medals.  We certainly did laugh about the rain as it poured it down as you will see from the photo below I look like a drowned rat lol!


Anyway onto the card, one of the ladies in my running group ran the London marathon last weekend so I made a card from the group to give to her.  I used a digi from Polka Doodles on my card and a mix of papers from stash, a memory box precious star die and a sentiment I printed on my computer.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Dance Buddies Layout ............


Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend.  I'm off  to run in a 10k race this morning in King's Lynn but it is forecast heavy rain all morning just my luck!  Never mind I will feel good afterwards even I do get completely soaked!  

Anyway onto my layout this was Grace with her dance buddies back stage at her recent dance show. One of  her friend's mums took this photo, it would have been better if Grace was looking at the camera but it's still a lovely memory for her to look back on.

National Scrapbooking Day!!!



Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  It's National Scrapbooking Day today so I thought I should share a recent layout that I made.  This is an 8 x 8 page that I made and I have put this in box frame and hung it up in my kitchen.  It's the first time I have had a go with adding paint splatters to a layout but I really like the effect so I think I will be doing it again!  I added a bit of glitter to the wet paint so it has a bit of a sparkle to it as well. 

Have you anything nice planned for today?  Me and Grace are having a girly day together, we are going out for lunch to a gorgeous teashop called Florence's in King's Lynn where they make the most delicious homemade cakes and then a bit of clothes shopping and then some craft shopping in the Range.  Then I hope to fit in a bit of crafty time when I get home!

Thanks for stopping by.
