We had a fun weekend... I surprised the boys with our 'family' Christmas present, a very cute, very fluffy kitten. We called him Jim so, now, we have Rosie and Jim ;) So far, Rosie hates Jim. But we're working on it!

I also thought I'd share a couple more layouts I created with the JBS Mercantile November kit and Antiquarian add-on.

A simple page with some paint, handmade flowers and punched leaves. Me, aged 1.

Here I am again, also aged 1. Lovely socks with sandals on this one ;) I used various scraps and those fab foil frames to create a random grid design.

I am working on my December Daily album at the moment. I've never completed one, ever, so this year I am doing something completely different. I'll share it soon.

Have a great week!

Playing with stamps

I am gradually using more and more pink in my crafting. I love teaming it with aqua and yellow, it's one of my favourite colour combinations.

I recently got my hands on a few sets of Darkroom Door stamps from Papercrafts TV and had some fun experimenting with them here. I created the tags by first stamping a design in black ink, then stamping a second design in versamark ink which I then embossed with clear powder. I finished them off with a spritz of mist.

 

I'll be back soon with some more creations. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebrating this week!

It's on!

So this month I'm involved in a little race with my JBS kit... Doris set a challenge on the forum for us to see how many items we could make with our November kits.

I have 3 so far. It only arrived yesterday lol so I have some catching up to do! The good news is that I am almost done with LO #4 and still have way over half my kit left, so bring it on!

Anyway, here's what I've created so far...

I've been scanning a lot of older pictures lately, and this is a picture of me as a little girl with my mother and maternal grandmother. I think this is the only photo I have of us together as my nan died when I was very young. I'm glad I was able to get this one scrapped.

Another one of me as a little girl, this time with my very first bike :) (Gotta love that jogging outfit. Thanks, Mum. LOL!)

I love this picture of Lewis with my Mum. She has always been his biggest cheerleader, and I love the happiness on both their faces :) Wow, can't believe he is 9 already.

Watch this space, there will be lots more to come, I'm sure! Happy Tuesday!

Feeling Christmassy!

I've been busy making lots of Christmas projects lately, and I have to say I'm feeling the Christmas spirit already. It's my favourite time of year :)

Have you seen my latest creations on the Precocious Paper blog? I recently had the opportunity to create with the Very Merry sampler and so I took the chance to get ahead with some of the decor projects I had planned.

I love the wreath I made and can't wait to hang it ready for Christmas. You can see the rest of my Designer Friday projects here :)



Have you managed to get your hands on a copy of the very first issue of Scrap365 yet? Mine arrived last week and, seriously, wow! There is such a huge variety of amazing projects, not just limited to scrapbooking. In fact, one of my projects in the magazine is a Christmas wreath. I seem to have a bit of a wreath addiction of late ;) I just love that layout on the cover by Mahlin Wiggur. Right up my street!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
