falling behind again!

Is it too early or too late for a Halloween layout? I always seem to be meeting myself coming back these days, so my photos from last year are only just being scrapped. I absolutely loved this Mischevious paper from My mind's eye and this oh so cute photo of my gorgeous granddaughter Bayley.
I should explain the title while I'm here, my son, Danny (Bayley's daddy) is a magician, so doing tricks is definitely his thing!

I hope you are all enjoying this sunshine we've been having! I'm off to scrap my Christmas photos!!

May????

Is it really May already? This year has flown by so far and I'm still waiting for a day dry enough to get into my garden! This has surely got to be the wettest drought in my memory!

Thought I'd share a layout or two this month that have been done a while but haven't yet seen the light of day (bit like me really!)

This is my gorgeous granddaughter Bayley-Rae.
Will be back with more soon but if you've got a free minute or two to spare why not pop over to Sarah's cards and see what else I've been up to?

I had scrapped this photo of my gorgeous daughter, Sian, before, but loved it so much that I thought I'd do it again!

Sarah's cards

In December I was thrilled to be asked to be guest designer for Sarah's cards, here are a couple of the layouts I did with the gorgeous December kit!

New year, but same old me. late as ever!!

I know we are into the New Year now and all you probably want to do is put Christmas behind you and move on, but before you do, I wanted to share my little Christmas projects with you.

The chipboard tree was from a class taught by the hugely talented Cleo Jarvis at a previous Christmas workshop at Exhall.

The advent was originally from tesco (huge thanks to my mate Lesley for this!!) which I decorated with old patterened papers I'd had in for ages.

The idea for the ribbon tree and the card holder were both found on Pinterest ...it's amazing what you can do with some old clothes pegs and a coat hanger!!

Happy new Year everyone!!

been having a play with mists, stamps and alcohol inks! The Rusty pickle papers I used were quite old but I really like them, the photo is my lovely nephew and his equally lovely fiancee.

while I'm in a circle mood

here's another!

This is me, many many moons ago (when dinosaurs still roamed the earth etc, etc!)

well I have had a great month, Nov of course is when the Sarah's Cards retreat is and it was amazing!

As usual the shop was filled to the rafters with lots of exciting new goodies and it would have been rude not to buy some!!;)

the background paper for this latest layout was one I couldn't resist buying, the new My mind's eye Kraft papers are just stunning!

I came home feeling really inspired, so watch this space!!

Can't wait to do it all again in March!!
