My Little Ballerina .....................

Hi all, well I've been playing with the Frou Frou Serif Digi Kit from Crafter's Companion as I couldn't wait to scrap this photo of Grace in her ballet outfit which she wore to her first ballet and tap show this weekend. She wore this outfit to dance to the Nutcraker and then she had a different outfit for the Candyman but I think the Candyman will be another layout!  I love this Frou Frou digi kit as it is so great for all ages, I think I will be using this one a lot!

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

A Little Bit of Frou Frou Chic ................

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying the Easter weekend.  I've had a lovely time already!  I met my good friends Marianne and Lisa yesterday and we went out for lunch and then last night I watched Grace in her first ballet and tap show.   Grace came  on stage beaming she was so happy so it was so lovely to see her. I will be making a scrapbook page of her in her ballet outfit hopefully later today.

Anyway onto my card for today which I made using the fantastic Frou Frou cd by Crafter's Companion. I have to say this is one of my favourite Crafter's Companion cd's as these are just the kind of images I would send to my friends. This is an image from one of the embellishments sheets from the cd and the butterflies came on the same sheet.  

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

A Vintage Inspired Card ...........

Hi everyone, I have a vintage themed card to share with you tonight.  Now I can't take any credit for the design of this card as my friend Marianne came up with the design.  Marianne makes the most lovely vintage style cards and I wanted to have a go  at one but didn't really know where to start!  So last Friday we had the most lovely craft day together and I came home very pleased with my card.  Now I've made this card I feel I have the confidence to have a go at one on my own now. Not sure how it will turn out but I hope to have a bit of time to play over the weekend.

An Egg Artist? ............

Hi everyone I have a scrapbook layout to share with you tonight which I made using the Serif software with the Crafter's Companion Digi Kit designed to be used with Serif.  I can't tell you how excited I am that Crafter's Companion are working with Serif.  I can see me making lots more digi layouts now!    It's great to be able to make such cute pages!  I can't resist the wonderful Bamboo and I think he finished my page off just perfectly! 

I had this photo waiting to be scrapped for nearly a year so it really was time to get it on a layout!  Another little memory captured!  

Thanks for stopping by.

Nesting Boxes ............

Hi everyone, I have something different to share with you today a nest of boxes already for my demo day at Huntingdon Garden and Leisure which is from 10a-4pm.  I've scheduled this post so hopefully me and my boxes should be well on our way by the time you read this!

These boxes are actually quite large as each one is 5 inches deep.  I made them with my Crafter's Companion Ulti Boxes Board. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. As the largest box is quite big you could fit a lovely sized gift in them. Would be lovely for a crafter filled with nice crafty bits!

The flower on the middle box is made using the Crafter's Companion Large Sunflower Quilling Die I think this may be a new favourite as I've only had this one a short while but I really love it!
