has it really been that long?

can't believe I haven't updated my blog for so long - apologies to anyone who takes the time to drop by - I promise to try harder in the future.

I have just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Sarah's cards retreat and still can't believe how good it was and how lovely everyone was! The effort behind the scenes was phenomenal - so much attention to detail to make sure everyone went home happy! The goody bags we received were jaw-droppingly brilliant and so generous! Sarah and Lianne and the design team really pulled out all the stops - you are all amazing!!

While I'm here I'll leave you with one of my latest layouts - really enjoyed doing this one, hope you like it!

well it's nearly the witching hour again, so here is a topical LO to go with it from my daughter and son-in-law's halloween party last year.

bad blogger!

Ok I know, I have been a bad blogger of late, I could make a million excuses but I won't bore you with that!!

Instead let's just catch up on what I've been scrapping, the flowers on this LO were the stunning creation of Claire Horsham Bell from last months crop, loved this class! Hope you like my attempt at it!

August crop

almost that time of month again and the Exhall crop is fast approaching!

This month we have two gorgeous classes designed by Claire Horsham Bell, this is the first time Claire has designed for us but I'm sure all our lovely ladies will remember the fantastic demonstrations she did for us with the inks and mists! I am really looking forward to this class and to seeing everyone again!

As always, places are limited so if you want to join us let me or Claire know asap and we will try and fit you in, kits supplied by Sarah's cards.

Julys class, kits supplied by Sarah's cards.

Been busy scrapping again - loved this photo - it was just crying out to be scrapped! My son and granddaughter were all tuckered out, bless them!!

Got some more paper and bellies out to play with so watch this space...

No, I haven't edited this photo in photoshop - Dan went on a trip to the waxworks and this is one of the snaps he came back with.
Just used black cardstock and a doily as a mask and loads of glimmer mists!

Here's the latest layout I've been working on

You can find a step-by- step of how I did it over on the Millpond

here are the rest of the sneak peaks for you,
