Forgot last week's layout!

Leene Aldrich Stamps

This Fab stamp is by Leene Aldrich it's called "Going places" it's from my favourite place The Craft Den, Think it's fab!! I have put it together with the new Daisy Bucket Papers Posh Posies a bit of lace and bling for my first go!!

Here it is again this one is for my Daughter Rochelle "Alias Penelope Pitstop" she has just passed her driving test and is always whizzing about!! I coloured them in with my copic's, don't think I've done a bad job even though you do need to get used to them xxxx

Craft Den Scrap Night!!

We now all do the same layout at the Craft Den on Thursday nights!! Which is a lot better as there is no wasted time finding all the right papers and embellishments, everything is right in front of you, just have to Scrap how cool is that!! In this layout I have used a picture of my mum when she was very young!! When I was going to put it into my scrap book today thou I thought it just needed as little extra something!! you've guessed a bit of BLING!!

Playing with my copics

This is the first time I have felt confident enough to show you my colouring in with the beautiful copic pen's!! It's taken me a while to get the knack of it (mainly trying to stay within the line's) but when I passed then round at the Craft Den this week everyone thought I'd done a good job so here they are xx

Abbey Road from Bo Bunny

When the new Abbey Road from Bo Bunny came into the Craft Den I just new I had to have them!!! Here is my first layout with these beauties, it's Abbey road, dotty & the combo stickers all from Bo Bunny plus Tim Holt's Distressed stickles in peeled paint & vintage photo all from my favourite place The Craft Den!!

This picture is my darling husband Allan, stepson Nathan and Stinky the rabbit!! (his name was drawn out of a hat! Allan found him one night when it was snowing but no one claimed him so we all picked a name as you do and unfortunately we picked out stinky)

Show & tell!!!

Well what can I say I have finished my lovely altered art image box made from a cat food container!! We saw this on Maddy's blog "Mad Imaginations" its not every one's cup of tea but it certainly made sure we had a great night, I haven't laughed that much in ages.

Our Wednesday night group at the Craft Den are brilliant ladies it really is a pleasure to go (great company & we even get to craft what more could anyone want) Life's been a bit bad for the last few months but because of Lynne and all the ladies at the Craft Den I am now starting to pick up and feel my mojo is definitely returning!! Thanks Ladies you truly are the best!!

My Nan xxxx

Just finished my project from Thursday night's class at the Craft Den. This is my beloved nan, who from being a little girl I went everywhere with!! (Every time I start a scrap page lately they seem to all end up being of her!!) Really please with it anyway, it is a page from the new GCD range and a few different coloured bazzill's! not forgetting the trade mark bling, all from my friend Lynne's.

Crop day at the Craft Den.

Well had the perfect day today at the Craft Den! Spent the whole day doing Scrapbook pages!! with Lynne, Anita, Joanne & Norma. Here are the layouts we did, they where all so lovely as they all had our individual style on them even though they where the same page! The first one we did I have put a picture of my Nan. thought it did the page Justice with the lace and skeleton leaves (which I have a whole stack of but never knew what to do with them) and obviously a little bling!!

The second page!! looks really intricate but was very easy to do, this one is a my mum & her sister on Whit Sunday in 1955. Love the hibiscus flowers!! Last of all a beautiful bright picture of me and my girls on holiday a few years ago!! a bit of tearing, sewing and plenty of flowers. Can't believe we actually finished three pages today!! anyway we all enjoyed it so much we have already booked onto the next one!!

New Daisy Bucket Paper's

When the new Daisy Buckets papers came into the Craft Den I just fell in love with the Posh Posies just love the vibrant purples mixed with the green, all I had to do was find the right photo and I think I have me on my wedding day with my beautiful goddaughter Nicole!! The glamour bling and the organza ribbon is from the den (I have purchased quite a lot of ribbon as it was 99p for 5 meter's even for the Velvet! can't resist a bargain).

Baby Cards

Been at the Craft Den today!! No one will recognise it next week when they pop in!! It's have a refit!! looks great and roomy!! now Lynne can display her stock at lot better and she has more room for more stock!!

Here are pictures of two cards I have made for our niece Samantha who gave birth last week to Isabella, congratulation's to her & Nick and of course to Little Ryley on the birth of his little sister!!

Mojo is slowly returning!!!

It's my brother-in-laws birthday tomorrow!! and I just love this print so couldn't resist making it for him!! (was a hard decision though cause I loved all of the flippin men range!!)

Had a really bad few weeks and my mojo had well and truly gone off track!! but I have been to the Craft Den every week as it is my only escape I have from reality! Went on Saturday to help Lynne prepare for the Crafter's Companion Demo on Sunday and spent a lovely mother's day with Lynne and all the craft girls at the demo and what a great day it was Claire from Crafter's Companion was doing the demo and had brought with her the most beautiful samples of the new Flower Fairy CD & Stamps.

This is the new Love Shack paper from Bo Bunny that I did my scrap book page last week with! Added plenty of Bling and a twiddly butterfly and flowers all purchased from the Den. Its my beautiful daughter Rochelle and our late cat Muffin (She was such a beautiful loving cat) xx

Anyway I think my mojo is back!! xx

Georgous new GCD papers

As soon as I set eye's on these beautiful paper's from GCD at the Craft Den I just knew I had to have them!! This page I have made with the flocked page it is just so yummy!!! I have added gems, flowers and Bo Bunny paper's to it!!

There are so many new paper's in at the Den I just don't know what to have next!! Bo Bunny, Daisy Bucket, the gorgeous GCD papers and lots more!!

The new flower Fairy CD is also in with a free!! Demo Day on Mother's day, 22nd March with Crafter's Companion. Hope to see you all there xxx

Copic's Class at the Craft Den with the famous Maddy & Calvin!!

What a wonderful time at the Craft Den yesterday!! We had the famous Maddy from Mad Imaginations & her friend Calvin Mouse doing a Copics Class. Here Maddy is with Lynne from the Den.

Calvin is sooooo naughty that we kept loosing him!!!!!!

But he just can't help himself, he just loves chocolate!!!!

I am really pleased with the card I made in the class, we really had a good time!! my husband thought we where all daft doing a class to learn to colour!!!! but as you can see from the finished card that it is well worth doing the class!! very professional!!! Thank you Lynne for a great day and for supplying plenty of coffee and a lovely lunch and to Maddy & Calvin for coming all the way from Leeds and supplying us with a day full of laughter (you must have been shattered when you got back home Maddy) xxx

My love of faries!!!

My Beautiful Fairies!!!!

Just had to do this!! When Lynne from the Craft Den said we where doing more fairies I just had to book on!! I'm addicted to them!!

We spent the morning doing the fimo fairies and while it cooked (fimo Bev was in charge of the cooking which must have been quite nerve racking) we had lunch so that they where ready and cooled to attach to the book in the afternoon.

I hope you like my finished book as I'm really pleased with it, I just need to get the right photo's to finish it off.

We are doing a MDF box with a fat Easter rabbit on for Easter!! What a beautiful gift for that special person in your life for Easter!! View class time table here!!

Trying to be creative!!

I had a go at some new techniques this week at the Craft Den, 1st time for tearing my beautiful papers and the 1st time I have used lace!! Don't seem to be able to do justice to the colours though with my camera!
