Big bold bright birthday!

Card making again...

I just don't seem to be able to switch very easily from card making to Scrapbooking. I think it's the completely different scales involved. Anyway here's a little emboss resist card!

Moo. Been a while!

I haven't scrapbooked in ages, in fact since Lori@ Apron Strings' challenges ended. I just can't seem to find my groove! I had a go at a Splitcoast challenge today but it somehow wasn't the same. Oh well at least I got to scrap these lovely photos of Jacob in his cow costume!

Christmas in April

Well I seem to have completely lost my inspiration! However I had some free time to stamp today so I thought I'd crank out another couple of Christmas cards.

I just got the stamp set "Paisley Prints" so I used it here with a nice traditional card. Stew is out tonight so I might try to make a few more cards...

My Favourite Things

For Apron Strings Challenge #20, I decided to HAVE FUN (just for a change when scrapbooking!) and indulge myself! So I chose some of my huge stack of pink cardstock, decided to stop hoarding these patterned papers, broke out every type of embellishment I own and wrote a big list of some of my favourite things! I think it's very whimsical. I just about squeaked it in under the hour time limit, though I forgot how fiddly eyelets are!

Challenge #19

Apron Strings challenge #19 - use more than 6 photos, none more than 4x6". Hmm well I made a bit of a mess of this, guessed the measurements of the title & journalling strips and it all came out wonky. Never mind! I also think it needs "something" around the central PP block. I might just get the sewing machine out!

Lovely Laundry

I have sorted my laundry room out! Previously, there were odd cables and weird space suit parts all over, all just waiting to be dumped in the garage (or should that say garbage?). Well, I finally got around to it today. Of course, there are ways to make these projects slightly less hideous, like making banners to cheer the place up! Next task - the cupboard under the stairs. Hmmm. Maybe sorting one grot spot is enough for one day.
