Friends...

Phew think I've just made it with this page for two challenges at Frosted Designs .  I used their present sketch and followed their recipe of 3 patterned papers, two buttons and a one word title.  I don't find it easy to combine patterned papers so this was a toughie for me, but if you look very carefully I did sneak a tiny sneaky bit of a third patterned paper around the edge of the journalling circle.  Quite a clever/lucky break having that paper actually cause it matches the colours on Ann's T shirt.
Materials used...
  • G.C.D. papers
  • Cricut to cut the large petalled circles and letters
  • Spellbinder tag and swirl die
  • Flower punch
  • inkjet acetate to print journalling on
  • tiny buttons and organza ribbon
Additional challenge...
  • Pollycraft - Favourite Things (going on holiday, Italy, gorgeous designer patterned papers and most important of all - Friends!)
Have a great week everyone.  I'm hoping to complete the facing page to this one in between work, but it going to be tough.

Well I never...

Another honour ... two in one week!  Ant and Dec eat your hearts out!
This time I reckon the cuteness of Eli probably had a lot to do with it, but it's still absolutely wonderful to be picked out at Crafty Ann's Challenge
You can see the post and the rest of the Top Three here.
Hope your Friday starts as brilliantly as mine.

oh my goodness...

I am so pround of this...
 
Still consider myself an absolute beginner when it comes to scrapbooking so what a fantastic surprise to be picked out and featured at Lasting Memories with this page.  It really has made my day.
Needed something like this to cheer me up too as I've just done 3 really long overnight shifts at work and come home today feeling really poorly.  Not sure whether I'm overtired or I've caught a bug.  Hopefully a long sleep will put me back on track.
Hugs to all.
