Still UKS gallery culling!!
These were from my psychedelic phase!!

Thursday, 28 January 2010


still on a mission to clear out my UKS gallery and put them on here - this was a little tin I did for my wonderful daughter-in-law, Steph, when my gorgeous granddaughter was in hospital after she was born prematurely


the poem reads:


I came a little early mum

I hope that that's ok?

but I couldn't wait to tell the world

''I'm here! Miss Gracie-Mae!"

and I couldn't wait to see you

and of course, my daddy too

and meet my two big brothers

there's such alot to do..

So I came a little early

which means I'm pretty small

but you sent some milk to help me grow

and look! I drank it all!

and the nurses they all tell me

I'm doing very well indeed

so I'll stay a while longer....

let you get the rest you need.

but I'll be home before you know it

and when I am I'm there to stay

so I'll sign off now,

with all my love

your princess, Gracie-Mae xxx

This was the first class I ever taught for the Exhall crop, seems like such a long time ago now!

I wanted to create a LO using no patterned paper at all, and I was reasonably pleased with the result.

well my new year,s resolution was to update my blog more regularly - not held to that one so far have I?


I've been having a cull of my UKS gallery and thought I'd pop some of them over here, I know they're old LOs but I wanted somewhere to keep them!

well it's been a while but things have been pretty hectic here with one thing and another!!

Firstly our Christmas workshop went really well - the classes that Cleo Jarvis did for us were amazing - for anyone not familiar with her work you can check her out here it's well worth a visit!!

Only three weeks to Christmas and as usual I have barely scratched the suface of everything I need to do - so hopefully I can get that out of the way in the next week (or two!!)

Will be uploading some recent LOs soon so watch this space!!

Cyber crop


this weekend I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to design a class for UKScrappers Cyber crop weekend! The theme was The Wizard of Oz!


I have been overwhelmed at the lovely comments I have received and so chuffed that so many people took the time to do my class!


I would like to say 'Thank you' to everyone for all their support!!

all the papers I used for the layout are available from Indigo Mills

I just adore these scrummy papers from prima that are in stock now at Indigo Mills
I thought they'd be perfect for this wedding photo of Sian and Paul - although typically Mr Doodle asked me why I'd use a photo of the from behind! Probably only another scrapper would see it as them 'walking away to their future together' and it would probably take a woman to appreciate that it's important to get the details of that stunning dress in from all angles!!

I did this book using the gorgeous kaiserkraft papers from Indigo Mills, inspiration came from the film of the same title, and the theme is 'things to do before I kick the bucket!' morbid, me? Not at all lol
