Scrappy day

How was your week end?  Good I hope.  I had some time to have a play and create a scrapbook page.  This page is of the lovely Anna on our holiday.  (I know it was a few years ago now.) I was inspired by the lovely Makeesha's scrap pages here.  She is so talented and has some lovely creations to share.  It is well worth a look.  

I am noticing a trend however, I always use circles when I scrap.  Note to self, next time try something new.  Hope you like it.

Tilda and Challenges

I have had a lovely afternoon.  Mike and the kids are watching a video together and I got to do a little stamping with a new stamp.  Yep my first Tilda.  I thought I would also combine a couple of challenges too.  Kristina Werner has a nice colour challenge which looks like this,

Also Amy Rysavy has a wonderful sketch challenge, shown below.  Her lovely blog is found here.

And her is my card.  I hope you enjoy it as it is my first attempt at colouring a Tilda, and these are not the colours I usually use.  

Hope you have a wonderful day.  Take care

Scrappin with neighbours !!

Well this week end I stepped out of the normal.  I scrapped!!  You did hear me right.  I loved this neighborhood wheel and as soon as I saw it I remembered some photos of a few cuties when we moved house a few years ago.  I am not sure if it of a good scrap booking quality but it was fun playing.  I hope you like it.

and close up of the houses..

Off to make some cards..  Back to my kind of paper craft...

Have a great day.  See you soon.

SOOO long

WOW time really flys.  Sorry i have neglected my blog.  I have to pull my socks up and finish a few things. I also need to be around while the sun is out to take some photos.  I have not been home till after the sun goes down most days.   BUT in the interim I have a few projects I have completed a little while ago.

I will put my thinking cap on this week end and make something and take some photos ofthem and of things that have yet to make it here.

Take care and have a fun filled day..
