Time to dress up! ..............

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a good Tuesday!   I made this card for my Mum in Law whose Birthday it was a couple of weeks ago.  I have used a decoupage image from a Papermania kit that I had.  These are great for making a quick card as I was running out of time the week I made this which is nothing out of the norm for me!  I would get so much more done if there were just a few more hours in each day! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Tom Boy for a Day ..................

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a good weekend.  I have a layout to share with you today.  This layout is about Grace wearing a baseball cap to the side is the closest she comes to being  a Tom boy as given the chance Grace will choose to wear a dress or skirt any day as she loves all things girly!  I took these pictures last year and I have been wanting to scrap them for ages so I'm really pleased to have this page in my album.  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Gold .........................

Hi everyone, gold is our theme for this week's Challenge over at Winter Wonderland this week so we want to see gold embellishments, gold pen, gold glitter etc!  I have used gold card, gold glitter and there is gold in the frantage that I used on the holly leaves.  It looks much more sparkly in real life but it's always difficult to get that to show in a photo!

We have 2 wonderful sponsors this week who are:

and 

The gorgeous image on my card is from Delicious Doodles and is called poinsettia corner. 

 I printed the image out twice so I could decoupage the poinsettia but I'm not sure you can see that from the photo.  I was very pleased with how this one turned out though.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a great weekend.

A Birthday Layout .................

I

Hi everyone and happy Sunday to you.  I hope your weekend is going well and you have managed to fit in some crafty time.  I'm hoping to fit some in this afternoon after I've done some housework this morning.  

 I have a double layout to share with you today of Grace's 6th Birthday party. I am really enjoying making double layouts as it's so nice to scrap so many pictures all at once!  The only downside is that they are hard to photograph!  Grace loves looking at my scrapbooks now so I hope that will continue as she grows older and lots of happy memories to look back on. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Meeting Fairies ............

Hi everyone, I seem to start a lot of my posts with fairies in the title, but I'm sure you know by now I'm away with the fairies half the time!  Today's layout is all about me and Grace meeting real live giant fairies at the Fairy Fair!  The Fairy Fair takes place in Holt in Norfolk twice a year and it's a lovely magical day for Grace oh and me as well! 

I used a great layout to scraplift this page which is the October challenge over at Scrapology which I would like to enter with this layout. 

 I started this layout on Friday when I had a lovely scrapbooking day at my friend Marianne's.  Marianne also used this layout, you can see Marianne's page here, it's funny that they are so different!

A New Home Card .............

Being Tinkerbell .............

Hi everyone, I hope your week has got off to a good start.    I have a layout to share with you tonight of Grace dressed up as Tinkerbell at the Fairy Fair we went to back in May.   I've started going to a weekly scrapbooking class/crop which I'm really enjoying as you get a lovely kit to work with and sometime to just sit and scrapbook which I hardly ever have time to do at home.  It's good to be getting some more photos and memories scrapped!  I've also got a lovely day of scrapbooking to look forward to on Friday as I'm going over to my friend Marianne's for the day.

Pancake Day Layout

Hi everyone, I thought it was time I got around to scrapbooking this fun picture of Will and Grace from pancake day this year.  I found a great sketch over at The Studio Challenges and this layout came together quite quickly apart from the stitching which took a little while but was quite pleasant while I sat watching Strictly on Saturday night!

I would like to enter my layout into the September Sketch Challenge at The Studio Challenges..

Thanks for stopping by.
