Mother's day card

Good morning, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

I made this card today with a few challenges in mind

Simon says - use 3 different papers
Let's capture these sketches - sketch
Paperplay - for a Mother
Crafting Ireland - photo inspiration

The image is a Meljen's digi that I had never gotten around to using  and the sentiment comes from Netty's.

I hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday. I got time this afternoon to make this page. It's about my little man and his obsession with all things army related!

I used the sketch from Lasting memories and used some ric rac ribbon for their bonus challenge. I also used the colour green and glimmer mist for Scrapbookers anonymous "G" challenge.

Tea light holder

Hello all, I hope you had a fun Valentine's day!

Today I thought I would share this tea light holder that I made from a tomato tin. I drew a heart shape with a sharpie on the tin and then punched into the tin with my perforation tool (I think that's what it's called, it has a needle on one end and a threader on the other end). I then gave it a few coats of white acrylic paint. Then just pop in a tea light and it's good to go!

Happy Valentine's day

Happy Valentine's day to all my blogging friends! Whatever you get up to, I hope you have a lovely day!

I found some "52" books on Pinterest a while back and really liked the idea. So I decided to make my hubby one for Valentine's day. The little book is made from a deck of cards and I typed up 52 things, printed them and cut them up. I inked around the edges and stuck them in. I used some pretty paper for the cover and added some hearts. The back page has a Valentine's message on it. You see more examples on Pinterest.

Another Bloom page

I got another Bloom page done tonight. The colour is really off in the photo, but you get the picture! I took inspiration from the Lets capture these sketches - sketch #118.
This is my take on it.

Some more scrapbook pages

I'm back again, this time with some scrapbook pages that I made over the last week.

Drum Clinic

This is of a drum clinic we went to last year and hubby got to meet Gavin Harrison and Graham Hopkins.

Super garden

This is of the winning garden, from the "Super garden" show at Bloom 2011. The boys got their photo taken with Ken, the designer of this lovely garden.

And this one is of some of the gardens at Bloom.  The show is on again this May, I really hope we get to go.
I used some of the pretty papers that I won on Alicia's blog a few months back. As soon as I seen the papers I knew they would be perfect for some of my Bloom pages (there's still more photos to be scrapped!). Thanks Alicia!!!! If you have the time, stop by her blog, her work is amazing!

Bloom

sorry about the bad quality photos but it's another dark and dreary day here again.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Bendy fold card

Hi everyone, we are having another wet and cold day here. I hope wherever you are the weather is better.

Over on ISC, this weeks challenge is to create a bendy fold card. Heather gave us a link to this tutorial. It looks pretty scary but it's actually really simple.

I'm submitting it to the love is in the air challenge on Simon says stamp and linking it up with the Valentine's party on Passionately artistic.

Black and white

Good morning :)

I love B&W, what a great colour combo for anything, especially a card!

I made this card for my sister in law and her fiancé who got engaged at the weekend!

I'm entering it into the CAS-ual Friday - B&W challenge, Simon says stamp - anything goes and to the B&W Valentine challenge on ISC.

A sketch

Good morning!

I did this page using the sketch from Januarys challenge on Love, Joy, Paper. One of my personal challenges this year is to scrapbook more, so I ordered 99 photos from Snapfish (99 photos for 99c!), so that should keep me going for a while!

The awesome journaling card was a freebie here.
