A Scrapbook Page ............

Hi everyone, well what a hot one it's been today!   I was working from home today so I was sat in front of the laptop most of the day until I went to get Grace from the childminders at 5pm and the heat just hit me when I opened the door! It was like getting out of a plane when you go abroad!  There it's better than all the rain we had last year so mustn't complain!

Anyway I have a layout to share with you tonight which is for my title page in this year's holiday album.   Whilst I was sitting on the beach day dreaming about crafting I decided to have some fun and write in the sand for this photo!  I like having a title page for an album as it gives you a chance to introduce your holiday.

I would like to enter my layout into the following challenge:
2 Sisters Challenge - Stars

Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Tilly Daydreams Card ...............

Hi everyone, I hope you have been enjoying the sunshine today. I've been working all day but finished now so I'm going outside to enjoy it shortly!

I have a Tilly Daydreams card to share with you today.  I couldn't resist this little cutie, as I had the urge for a little craft shopping when we got home from France.

I've been playing catch up with all the washing and ironing and housework since I've been home, I think I need another holiday to get over the holiday!  Anyway I'm starting to get caught up but the ironing pile is still like Mount Everest but I really enjoyed some crafty time last night making this card.  We can't have all work and no play!

Back from France ........................

Hi everyone, my blog has been a bit quiet over the last 2 weeks as I've been on holiday in France.  We went to Saint Malo which was just gorgeous!  These are a couple of photos from my trip, I'm hoping to get some of these photos onto some scrapbook pages very soon once I get them printed. 

 

Thanks so much for your comments whilst I was away, I hope to catch up with you all very soon!

Winter Wonderland Challenge ................

Hi all, is it really Friday again!  Don't the weeks roll round so quick!  I have my DT card to share with you today for Winter Wonderland and our theme for you this week is 'Easel Card'. I decided to make a circle easel card as they are lovely and quick to make.  I've also used some Sarah K Christmas decoupage which I found in my stash recently.  I'm in the process of clearing out the Craft room so its great finding things that had long been forgotten!   I will show you the before pictures of the craft room soon and hopefully it won't be too long before I have the after shots to show you but it's still work in progress at the moment.

As always we have a super prize for the winner so I hope you join in with the challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is a close up of the fairy.  She has been coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.
