ANOTHER CARD...

Another Pinterest inspired card....I used washi tape though instead of patterned papers...It's actually harder than it looks trying to fold washi tape in half so the edges match...

 

CARDS...

Just a couple of Pinterest inspired cards I made this week...xx

ANOTHER POST - LIBBY'S BIRTHDAY (JUST FOR MANDY!!)...

Last Thursday (11th November) it was Libby's birthday...now Libby being Libby couldn't decide what she wanted til the last minute so she still hasn't got her main present of a bike which is sitting at Tesco waiting to be collected and I can't go for it as I have to wait in today (between the hours of 8am and 6pm, don't these delivery people know we have lives to lead!!!) for some new furniture for her bedroom to be delivered.... Here she is first thing in the morning...
her new watch...

a little birthday treat for breakfast...

her birthday cake (excuse the mess of the tablecloth, they had tacos for dinner!)...

blowing out the candles...

On Saturday I took some of her friends to Simply Create in Alford for a crafting birthday party, would thoroughly recommend this as they had great fun and all came home with the book they had produced...

Here is Jacqui in action showing them how to peel the back of double-sided sticky tape...

Another birthday cake...

and last but not least the gorgeous (huge) scrapbooking kit she got from her friends Dasha and Alina...she got lots of lovely stuff from all her friends but I think this was her favourite...and no doubt I will the queen of double-sided sticky tape soon...lol...xxx

BUSY BUT NOT A LOT TO SHOW...(AGAIN)...

Well hello there...not been around much on the creative front lately...it's been the tattie holidays for the last two weeks here in Scotland so been busy doing bits and pieces with the kids...

Went up to Lossiemouth for 5 days to the caravan at the end of the first week beginning of the second...the weather was actually not too bad...was down on the beach most days (wrapped up)...the first day the kids decided they were paddling - it must have been freezing...they were soaked....


This was a gorgeous full rainbow that appeared during the rain when we were down one day (not got the best camera in the world so pics are pretty rubbish!)...the girls thought the end was down on the beach so this is them trying to find it!!!

Allan took Morgan back to Aberdeen for his football match on the Saturday and we went down to the beach again and the girls found loads of shells and stones which are now sitting in a plastic bag at my front door...Haven't been up there since last summer and I forgot how much we love it...

This is a card that I made 3 of to send out to some friends whose birthdays are past but I forgot to post...ooops!!!

And last but not least this is a wee sneak peek of one of my DT projects for Simply Create for this month...keep your eyes peeled for more to come!!! Jacqui is away at the moment but I am sure she will be uploading all my teamies stuff to the blog very soon...

Right I'm of...got two hamster cages to clean out and a bedroom to gut...oh and also have some Christmas cards to design for a local magician...not sure how that will turn out!!!

JUDY'S CLASS AND SONJA'S BIRTHDAY...

Yesterday afternoon was spent over at Simply Create doing a class with the very talented Judy...It was Sonja's birthday and the class was my treat to her...

These are the two cards that we made...not sure but I think I did better with the Scooter Boy...I think this is definitely something that with practice, practice, practice you could get much better at but the pencils are quite expensive and I am not sure I am willing to fork out for them for something that doesn't come easy to me....

This is the card I made for Sonja which was inspired by one of Elaine's samples that I seen at the SU party I was at the other week...The trees are from my Unity KOTM...I cut the hills from the Cricut and the lace is stripped from the matchbox I received in the swap a few months ago...it's so pretty, the buttons are from Jacqui's vintage stash and I printed out Happy Birthday using the Dymo label maker...x
