Two Posts In One Day.....Phew!!

I did say I was going to try to post more often.......LOL !!




I entered this layout as my take on Sketch 208 at Scrapbook Challenges.....the photographs are my eldest grandson Ryan taken when he turned one back in 1999. I love the large photograph of him he loved the camera......more often than not he used to wake up like that.....pity his dad wasn't the same........LOL !! Joking just in case..............LOL !!

I'd like to do as many of the challenges as I can......scrapbooking isn't really my forte so the more I do hopefully the better I'll get at it....practice makes perfect.....well so they say......LOL

Enjoy the rest of the weekend......thanks for calling by......take care!

Pollycrafts Monday Challenge

I'm going to enter this mini album in the Pollycraft Challenge #54.....theme being "Love and Marriage". The "Amor" sentiment on the front of the album is Spanish for love......so I'm hoping that it will suit.





I haven't put any photographs inside as yet.....that's something I have got to get around to doing.....eventually it's going to be given to my son and his girlfriend.....once I've sorted out which photographs to put in it of course! LOL

I made the album at a craft class a while ago.....I'm not totally sold on the ribbons though.....I dont know whether I should take them off or not.....but until I decide I'll just leave them on.

Well this was short and sweet.....but that's it for this posting....will try to post a bit more often.....I have a few weeks before my sister and husband come out to visit again so I'm going to try and craft as much as I can. Watch this space!! LOL

Hope you're enjoying the weekend.....thank you for popping by.....and take care!

Here's Another One................

........Card that is!! LOL

I've just had to come back and re-jig this posting....I was going to enter this into the Sir Stampalot Challenge "Lazy Hazy Days of Summer".....I cut it a bit fine for my entry and missed the deadline.....but lots of visitors and no time to craft.....not to worry though there's always another time!!



My photography leaves a lot to be desired.....SORRY!!

For the card I used.........

Image - "Flip Flops" from Stitchy Bear Stamps
Promarkers
Beach Huts Image - Sj's Little Musings (image was a pre-coloured one)
Sentiment - "Signs of Summer" from JustYolie resized and cut on Craft Robo
Card, stick- on pearls and stickles used on hair were from my stash.

Thank you for popping by come again soon......take care!

Flash Those Freebies.....Part Two!

Well wonder of wonders I finally have another card to show....its for the second part of the Flash Your Freebies challenge at Pollycrafts....we had to use the freebie image (isn't it gorgeous) from Paula for entering the card in part one....this time you had to think GREEN....hope this card is green enough! lol

Promarkers
Sentiment - K&Co
Flower cut from a cheap spray that I bought......brads and all paper and card are from my stash.

Well thats it for this visit....will be back soon....promise....will get my mojo into gear....until then thank you for popping by....take care!!

I'm Still Here................

Yes I'm still around...not been on my blog for a while...this will be a quick visit though...thought I'd just do a quick update...I haven't done any recent crafting but I'm going to post the last things I did...two layouts for Scrapbook Challenges.........and yes I've a lot to learn in that department! LOL




This page is of my youngest son Paul and girlfriend Paula taken in 2006 at the party we had before moving over to Spain.....its one of my favourite photographs of them...I'd wanted to use it on a layout for ages and finally got round to doing it.





This is my youngest grandson taken at the bowling alley when we were in the UK earlier in the year. The bowling pins were cut on my Craft Robo from a freebie download on UKScrappers.

Well I'm afraid that's it for this visit but will hopefully be back soon with something to show.

Hope you're all having a great weekend.....thank you for popping by....and take care!!

Flash Those Freebies......

It's been suggested by Paula at Pollycraftdesigns to flash our freebies............all will be explained!! LOL

We had to create a card using one of her many Friday freebies...the image I've used "Cherry Kisses Snowball" I've had for ages and coloured it a while ago thinking it would be used for one of my Christmas cards.....I was right...this is my first Christmas card this year and the one I'm entering in the challenge. Hope you like!



The image was coloured with Whispers Strokes (before I invested in my Promarkers) and everything else.....card, snowflakes, stamped sentiment, stickles and corner peel-offs came from my stash.

Until next time.....thanks for popping by and take care!!

Pollycrafts Monday Challenge

Hi again.....as promised the new card.....I'm entering this into the Pollycraft Monday Challenge... "Pinkalicious". You had to use pink...naturally...as much or as little as you wanted...just as long as it was somewhere on your card!!

As you'll see for me the pink is the vellum cross-band, the sentiment backing, the glitter border around the image and the minute gem on the necklace.....hope it fits the bill.




Image..........Pollycrafts Friday Freebie
Promarkers
Sentiment.........Digi print from Digital Doodling
Backing paper, vellum, "webby" backing, glitter, gem, pearl brads, Gelly Roll Stardust pen (think thats the right name) that I used to highlight the hair,and the stick on pearls were all from my stash.

Sorry the photograph isn't all that good!

Until next time...thank you for popping by...hope you all have a lovely weekend...take care!!

Oh my, oh my..................

Hi.....I said that I'd be back shortly with something to show you when I posted last week...it isn't a card this time though I'm afraid......pop back tomorrow I'll be posting my first card for ages then.....today I want to show you a photograph of the "visitor" my husband fished out of the swimming pool yesterday.




Lovely looking fella isn't he.......NOT!! LOL

He's on his back in the photo...left him like that too...best not disturb!! LOL I dont mind the little lizards we get, they don't bother me...have a couple that live in the garden...or the big cricket type things we see from time to time but this latest "visitor" is a definate no no.....don't want to see many scorpions around the place thank you very much!!

Well as I said I'll be back tomorrow with a new card to show.....so until then I'll say thanks for popping by.....take care!!
