Happy Anniversay

Well we are just back from an amazing week in Cornwall. We kept Mom and Dad very busy during the week. While we were down there they celebrated their 49th anniversary. So Peter cooked them a nice meal and served it by candle light. I did this quick LO while in Cornwall using Shabby Princess Happy Go Lucky free digital kit. We didn't have any internet connection, so I'm just uploading it now.

Enjoying Cornwall!

Just a very short post to show that we are enjoying our time here in Cornwall! We managed to get a very quick swim (Peter) and paddle (Shelley) on Monday morning. Just before all the hot weather started. Would have love to spent every afternoon in the sea, but have been busy driving Mom and Dad around too all sort of places. We've seen Birds of Prey, Garden/woodlands, Scrap Shopping, watching seals and lots and lots of eating.........

Scrap Like You Mean it Week 25

It's been a while since I've done one of Shimelle's Scrap Like You Mean It challenge over on UKScrappers. Actually been a while since I've done much scarpbooking at all. However, managed to do this quick LO for this weeks challenge to use Blue & Green. This LO is for my heritage album. My Mom has just sent me these photo's of my parents wedding, so I thought I'd use them. I used PageMaps June sketch for the layout and used Polka Dot Embossed Bazzill card stock, Basic Grey Wisteria papers, stickers and brads. Edges were inked with Ranger Distress Ink in Broken China. Title was cut out on a Craft Robo using Missed Your Exit font. Then finished off the LO with buttons and a flower.

Long Time No Scrap!

Well I finally got some scrapbooking done today. Although it was just finishing off the journaling on a couple of LOs that have been sitting around unfinished for a few months.

This LO is for my personal album and is of me when I was about 2. The papers I've used are from the Create Mia collection and I've embellished with felt and paper flowers and brads.

ISMAKI, Penny Black and more!

Well it's been a busy weekend of card making. With Father's Day tomorrow and a couple of birthdays as well, it's been a mad rush. For inspiration, of course, I went straight for the ISMAKI challenge blog. I made this first card based on their sketch and used K&Co paper scraps I had left over. I also embellished the card with EmbelliScrap shapes. The stamp images I used are Penny Black "A Great Surprise" stamp, which I've had for some time and not used yet. I coloured in the stamp image with Promarkers. Since I was using a Penny Black stamp, I decided to see what the Penny Black Saturday challenge was this week as well. The PB challenge was to use embossing, so I embossed the large big circle in the back with Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy then inked with distress ink. Which was the option for the ISMAKI challenge to use distress inks.

As it's Father's Day tomorrow, I've made two cards for that. I was a bit cheeky and made two of the same design. I got the idea for this card out of the latest edition of Canadian Scrapbooker, which my Mom so kindly brought over with her. I used Basic Grey paper and the rest was made of scraps of left overs I keep. The edge of the circle is hand drawn stitched and the edges of the card are inked with distress ink.

The fourth card I made was another birthday card. I got some new stamps for my birthday which I used to make this card. I then coloured the image with my Promarkers. The circle was embossed using Cuttlebug "Diamonds in the Rough" embossing folder and then inked with Nick Bantock ink. The rest of the card was made from left over scraps of paper from Sassafras and My Minds Eye.

Woo Hoo! It worked.... I sent this post from my phone during my lunch today. After I had a nice yummy Inoccent Veggie Pot. Sorry it's nothing exciting, but I thought with Mom and Dad coming over from Canada tomorrow it would be good to be able to blog from my phone. So keep an eye out for some more interesting posts coming soon.
