Sunday Best

Good afternoon all. I hope you've enjoyed a pleasant weekend weather aside! It's still blowing a hoolie here so I've had a day crafting.

A second post from me today showcasing another matching layout for the page I did of my Mum earlier in the week.

So here we are all dressed in our Sunday Best out collecting primroses with my Aunt and Uncle. Not sure whether my Dad was behind the camera or whether my Aunt and Uncle took these pictures. The main photo would have been a lovely family shot if my Dad had been in it - I don't think we actually have a photo of us all when we were kids. I may have to have a shot at some clever photo editing!

My layout was created in Craft Artist using "Sending Flowers" from Template Dreams.

Challenges entered:

Anything but a Card - something spring

Catered Crop - flower power

Get Creative - scraplift the DT

I've used Anastasia's lovely layout for inspiration.

Just realised on Wednesday I hadn't actually linked to the challenges - another senior moment!!

Mother and Son

Good morning all. We had a very blustery day yesterday with snow and all sorts! So much for spring. Hope the weather improves as the kids are now on holiday for Easter.

When I shared my Mother and Daughter layout last Saturday Carolyn asked whether I did matching facing layouts - yes I do and here is the one to match.

Created in Craft Artist using  "Reflections" from Nutkin Tailz.

I discovered the bevel and emboss feature in Craft Artist this week hence the reason everything which stands still has been bevelled and embossed lol.

Unfortunately there isn't a photo of me with my eldest son or one of just me and hubby at this particular wedding. I still need to add the journalling to this page too.

Genghis Khanny Row

Good morning all. Spent another day sorting the craft room out yesterday and I'm nearly there. Treated myself to some Crafter's Companion marker storage last night to free up some work surface . Just trying to work out the most efficient use of the space I've got....but at least I can see my work mat!!

A Mongol Rally layout from me this morning.
Still plodding away on this album and still don't seem to be making any headway into the plethora of photos I have to scrap! Thank heavens for the sketch challenges to give me loads of different starting points for the pages.

These photos were taken a couple of months before the Rally took place. To raise awareness of what they were doing they took part in the Trades Cup boat race at North Berwick. None of them could row and they only managed two lessons before the event but they made it back to dry land in a noble fourth place (out of four) lol.

Up, Up and Away

Good morning all. Had a busy day yesterday mucking out the craft room, still loads to do and I can't see the work surface at all but some progress has been made! All my Christmas stuff is in one place which was one of my aims and I've filled two large boxes and two shoe boxes with stuff I'm never going to use. So it looks like there will be more of the same today!

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm quite liking Bloglovin. Love the groups feature, it saves going through everything when you 're short of time. I need to spend a bit more time honing things nearer to perfection though!

A double page layout today using holiday photos from several years ago when we took a hot air balloon trip over the desert at sunrise in Dubai.

Crafting for all Seasons #48 Anything but a Card

Good afternoon. Gosh it's so nice to see the sun shining for a change!

Today it's time for a new challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Anything but a Card". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by our Bugaboo and the DT were given images to use. I choose to make a gift tag.

I've used "Snowman Pocket" and I've coloured him with promarkers before fussy cutting. The tag has been dry embossed with a snowflake embossing folder then inked with DI in various shades of blue. The snowflake is a Spellbinders die cut. Ribbon, button and gems are from my stash. Small snowflakes are punch waste. Cord is recycled off a clothing tag.

Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the girls inspiration, you won't be disappointed.

Golden Wedding

Good morning all. Another miserable day yesterday but some more housework accomplished - kids beds changed, 4 loads of washing done, ironing basket emptied and I finished de-cluttering and cleaning the kitchen/dining room. I need to start on the craft room next!

Created in Craft Artist using "My Lucky Charm" from Template Dreams.

Sending Flowers

Good morning all. Well it proved a rather dreich day yesterday, it snowed off and on all day and was wet and miserable in between. It really wasn't worth going out so I got some much needed housework done!

I'm showcasing Trish's newest kit this morning........"Sending Flowers" from Template Dreams.

Looking for digital paper and elements with rich colours? Be sure to check out Sending Flowers by Template Dreams. Black, brown, deep red, green, and pinks made up this beautiful flower kit. You will receive 25 papers (total) and 24 elements. 

As soon as I saw the papers in this kit I knew I had to scrap this photo of my Mum taken about 40 years ago. We used to go to Granny and Grandad's on a Sunday for tea all dressed in our Sunday best. Funny we used to think Mam was fat when we were kids (she thought she was too!), but she looks rather trim for having had 5 kids. The tweed suit is still hanging in her wardrobe - I wish I fitted into it!!! I did inherit her legs though and she still has legs to kill for at nearly 80!

It's ages since I made a card just because I wanted to!! So when I saw the WOW challenge at OSAAT I decided to make a card. Here is the result:

Decided it needed to be a Christmas card as I'm a bit behind this year. Image is from Sylvie's Stamps at the Stitchy Bear Shop - I've changed the colour in Publisher and used Glamour Dust to glitter it up, then die cut with a labels one die and mounted onto a fancy die.

Mother and Daughter

Good morning all. Hope everyone is well. 

My cold has finally abated and I'm feeling somewhat human again! Well the weather forecast is awful for the weekend so I think I'll stay home and craft.

Had a play last night using another photo which I have framed. I really need to get all the framed photos digitised as most of them pre-date the digi camera age and I often don't have copies of them.

Created in Craft Artist using "Reflections" from Nutkin Tailz. Decotrims from Shannon McNab. The photo was taken in 2002 when I was much slimmer than I am at present! I'd love to be this weight again by July when my nephew get's married and I've lost almost a stone since the end of January....watch this space as it gets smaller lol.

Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.

Good morning all. Still full of the cold so didn't do a lot yesterday. Luckily Sainsbury's delivered food to us so we had something to eat!

Decided to re-decorate for the weekend just for fun, normal service will resume early next week!

Saw this photo of Lora in a frame and decided it needed to be digi scrapped so here is the result.

Created in Craft Artist using "Cutie" from Template Dreams.

Good morning all. Down with a stinking cold again, mixed with a slight migraine but hey things could be worse!
Managed to fit some knitting in yesterday but ended up pulling it all out and starting again to change the way I was increasing stitches as it was too untidy at the edges.....after much trial and error and several re-starts I'm now back where I was but much happier.

I decided to make a Facebook header for St Patrick's Day just for fun but why oh why does Facebook continually keep changing things......all my headers have had/will have to be changed to fit the new layout grrrrr!!

Christmas Crafting (with sketches) #64

Good morning all. Not sure what's on the agenda today, may have to go food shopping!

I'm up to 80 stitches on my shawl so only 35 rows more to knit :)

It's time another challenge over at CCWS and we hope you're playing along with us this year and stocking up on those Christmas cards and projects. It's the Snow Angels turn this week and it was Diana's turn to design the sketch this time. We are being sponsored by Scrap It and Wrap It .

Unfortunately I boobed when making my card and completely forgot we have to use a stamped image and not just a sentiment on our cards so my card doesn't count......so please don't copy me!!!

Stamp from Creative Expressions, stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Detail Gold embossing powder. Die cuts from Spellbinders. Vellum backing paper and ribbons from my stash. Bow arrangement is recycled from a Christmas cracker and gold snowflake is a Christmas tree decoration.

Time 2 Go

Good evening all. It's been very cold here again today but at least it was dry and not windy. Three loads of washing done, dog walked and a Hairy Dieter's hotpot made for tea then I had some time to play.

Knitting

Good morning all. Hopefully today will be warmer than yesterday!

No treatment needed at the dentist so it was a quick scale and polish and I was on my way home again, thank goodness. The school dentist instilled the fear of God in both me and my older brother when we were younger - she was called Miss Crute and we nicknamed her Crute the Brute!! She always said she'd run out of injections when we asked for one before she drilled our teeth until I got wise and exited the chair and said I'd come back when she'd got more in......she never ran out again!

I decided to make a start on the knitting yesterday, my priority being the Triangular shawl which is needed for a birthday in May. Using Starlight Revue yarn and size 12mm needles, it's garter stitch all the way. Not sure I'm enjoying it....give me 3 ply wool and a pattern any day of the week!

This is my progress thus far:

I think I have about 40 stitches at the moment and I have to get to 150 increasing one at each end as I go so about 50 odd rows still to knit and the tassels to add.....think I might manage that by May!! The yarn does have a lovely sparkle in it which I think you can just see in the photo.

I'll be back in the morning with my DT card for Christmas Challenges (with sketches). See you then.

Whoopsi Daisy - Buttons or Bows

Good morning all. Well I got two thirds of Mother's Day yesterday and will probably get the other third this evening! Eldest left things a little too late so bought me a birthday card and crossed off birthday and wrote Mother's Day.......did buy Bailey's to go with it though. Youngest bought one of those alternative cards...."Mother likes her house like her vodka.......NEAT"!!! Goodness knows what child no 2  will arrive home with!! Life is never dull with them.....

Got a trip to the dentist today for my six month check up, hopefully I won't need any treatment.

It's time for another challenge at  Whoopsi Daisy  and this week it's team A's turn to share their inspiration with you. The theme this week is "Buttons or Bows" or you can do Anything Goes if you use a Whoopsi Daisy image on your project.

Good morning all. Happy Mother's Day, I hope all of you with kids are being spoilt today. I'm hopefully having a lie in when this goes live then being taken out for lunch.........watch this space!
Managed to get all the housework and laundry done these last two days - even got the ironing basket emptied!! Managed to get to choosing yesterday and made today's share and some DT cards.

It's time for our next challenge over at the Christmas Card Club and it was Sue's turn to set the theme, she chose a "Roll up, Roll up, Snowballs and Glitter".  Here's my card:

This one had me stumped for a while until the thought occurred to me that snowmen were made with giant snowballs! I've used snow mice for this card. House Mouse decoupage from Joanna Sheen. Square die from Spellbinders. Stickles, Glamour Dust, gems and ribbon from my stash.

My Lucky Charm

Good morning all. I had a good day yesterday but boy was I shattered when I got home! Didn't buy a huge amount but did come home with a bag of fancy wools, knitting needles and patterns to knit some scarves for presents.......hopefully the recipients will receive them this coming Christmas but don't hold me to it!!!

Today sees the launch of a new kit from Trish at Template Dreams, it's called My Lucky Charm. Also available are clusters, word art and journal cards. At first sight it's very St Patrick's Day orientated but looking more closely the papers and elements are gorgeous and lend themselves to many occasions.

I decided to scrap some of the photos I took at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo last summer.

The colours and the plaid were the perfect backdrop for these photos. I arranged the photos on the first page into a collage in Picassa 3. Layouts were created in Craft Artist.

50th Birthday

Good morning all. Hope everyone is well.

We had a lovely relaxed lunch yesterday, luckily hubby doesn't drink so I enjoyed some rose wine and champers with mine!  The menu was just a three course lunch with three choices per course and looked like it might be a bit rich for a dicky stomach but what I ordered was delicious and as it was just small portions so not overly filling.

This is the card I made for the birthday girl.

Decoupage image and the layered paper are from Cuddly Buddly; dies from Spellbinders and Marianne Design; lace, button, felt, sentiment, peel off, charm and card candy from my stash. Card candy has been topped with some green stickles. Apologies about the colours, my greens are a bit off!!
