Can't believe its been over amonth since I blogged.

Although actually maybe I can. I've been so busy with stuff the last while. I thought I'd have loads of time over the mid-term but you know when you have time off and you plan things and when you back to work you're nearly worse off than before the break. Today i felt like i was chasing my tail all day and tomorrow is going to be busy too. But at least I've Caroline's crop on Sunday. Really looking forward to it because I missed the last two.

Anyway I've done a few cards and layouts in between the busyness.

These two baby ones were for an order.

This one was using a sketch that was posted over on Craftsupplies.

This is a card I made for my BF's aunt. She has Down's Syndrome and goes to a group called CASA. They meet every week and her 'boyfriend' there makes cards for her every so often. My BF's mum asked me to make some for her to give to him the next time so this is one I did

I've done a few LO's too but this seems to be the only one I've taken a photo of.

Will try to photograph the rest and post them, shortly hopefully.

Even though I haven't blogged in a few weeks I have been doing some crafting.
I got an order for these 2 wedding cards (I know they're both almost the same but the couples don't know each other)

This Christmas card was part of the same order.
I like how it turned out, but can't believe I've made a Christmas card this early.

October is busy in our house because both of my brothers and I have our birthdays and Mum and Dad's Anniversary is coming up too. Here are the cards I made for the two boys.

I did this photo frame/LO type thing for my oldest brother too.
It's in one of those 'frameless' glass frames IYKWIM.
Have done a little bit of scrapping too.
I've been wanting to scrap this photo for ages and finally got it done. I like the LO but not 100% happy with the journalling. It's stuck on with repositionable Herma though so i might change it yet.
I had this LO almost done when I saw Sketch 20 over on Creative Scrappers. It really fits the Sketch so I must post it over there too.
Have another LO done too but no journalling on it yet so I'll hold up on posting it 'til it's all done.

A few bits

Got absolutely no crafting done this week but here's a few bits I did manage to do over last weekend.

This is a LO I did using some papers from a 3Bugs Kit.

I think this picture is just so cute.

Then I did one using these papers from September's Scrap-Room kit. I was trying to go with 'white space' but i think it may look a bit bare. Not sure what I should add to it.

I've did a batch of 50 of these cards and I'm just waiting on more card blanks to come in so I can do around 30 more. The blue is a bit more vivid IRL, especially in the stamped bits and the picture is whiter than it looks here.

Then it was my BF's birthday during the week so I made this card for him using leftovers from the Prima papers I used for the LO in the last post.

So that's about all at the moment,

2 LO's

I managed to get 2 LO's done this weekend.

I just love this picture and am so glad I got it scrapped. I think the papers are Prima, they're from a kit from one of Caroline's crops.



This might just be my favourite LO of all the LO's I've ever done. I'm just so pleased with how it all came together. The photos are of my nephew and th PP were in last months ScrapRoom kit.

On Friday Neasa organised some Scrappy Bingo over on the CS forum. Myself and two other girls won prizes. I got my prize in the post today and I'm only just thinking I should have taken a picture of it. Ooops! Will take one later coz I'm too lazy now. Anyway I got some lovely glitter paper and 2 other lovely sheets of paper, some stickers and stamped images (i'm ignoring the theme of them for a while). Thanks Neasa.

Thanks Lynn

It was so nice to home to this lovely package after work today.

It was the RAK that I won on Lynn's blog. It had 2 magazines, a BG Rub On Roller and Precision File Set, Papermania Sweet Nothings 6x6 paper pack (which I was admiring in CAS this weekend) and matching chipboard embellishments, a Versamark pen, a gorgeous set of vintage style stamps and some EZ Mount (I was thinking of getting some of this last week when I was stamping with my Bella's so I'm delighted with that)

Thanks so much Lynn,you've made my day.

A Quick Post

I did this card last night for my BF because we're together 8 years today. So sort of an anniversary card I suppose. Not my usual style and I think there's something missing but whatever it is it's not in my stash coz I've tried a few bits and nothing seems quite right with it. Did this LO yesterday as well. It's kinda based on the bonus sketch here
I couldn't think of any title but I actually think I like it without one.

A few Cards.

I've made a few cards in the last couple of days.
Another Coredinations one.

I did this one using some Basic Grey PP and a Papermania flower (from a pack that I've had for ages and had yet to use)

I decided I'd better get some use from my Bella's too. I've them a couple of months and only ever stamped them to see what they were like when I got them. SO the other night I stamped a few and coloured them in while watching Prison Break.
These are the cards I did with them.


Made 4 of each of them.
Must use the other few now.

Lastly, thanks a million to Lynn decided to share some of her CardnScrapz prize as a RAK and chose me. Yaaay. I'm thrilled. Thanks Lynn
