Crop

Good morning.  I went to my monthly crop on Saturday - Ludgreshall Crop and had a fab day cropping, eating, chatting and more eating.  I have been in a bit of a slump when it comes to scrapping lately, only scrapping at crops or for my scrapbooking class but I don't know what happened on Saturday but I am all fired up again to get scrapbooking.  I have even done two LOs at home since!!! 

Here is two LOs I did at crop.  This first one is of me when I was about 2.  I have had these papers in my stash for 4 years they are by Pink Martini.  I bought them at the Newbury show specifically for this picture.  I just had to rummage through all of my mums tins of photos to get it.

This next sketch is of my youngest son Jack playing with a toy camera which was free on a children's magazine. The papers are We R Memory Keepers and the embellishments are from Making Memories.  The stars are from the SU punch and the letters cut out with my Cricut.

I will be back later in the week to show you the the LO's.

Hello

Well I haven't blogged here for over 3 weeks sorry.  I have such plans for this blog too- I will get there don't worry.  I won't bore you with how busy life has been with working, hospital appointments etc but lets just say I am back.  No I do not have the time to post daily but there will be at least one a week. Anyway I have been crafting away and here is one of my recent LO's.  It's my hubby in his sexy army uniform.

 I used Basic Grey papers but am not sure which ones sorry. 

Sorry for the short post I am looking forward to coming and visiting your blogs x

Menu Board

I hope you have all had a nice half term if you have had the week off.  I have something slightly different to show you today.  I wanted a menu board for the kitchen on a really small budget.  I bought a cheap clip frame A4 size from ASDA 68p I think and just slipped some paper behind.  I used some papers I already had in my stash papermania I think.  Sorry for the really crap photos. Any help on how to photograph glass?

I used the SU heart punch for the hearts and the letters were cut on my Expression.

Thank you for looking

Saturday

What a horrible grey day it is here today. It's one of those days when I just want to curl under the duvet. Unfortunately that is not going to happen with 3 boys to entertain.

I have another LO here to share with you. This is of my 2 youngest boys in London. We were walking up the Embankment and they spotted him and were in complete awe.

The papers I used are Rusty Pickle - I think. I have some hidden journalling on a tag which is just about the boys reaction. The silver skulls are charms which I found on Ebay.

Thank you so much for looking I will be back in the week.

Some LO's....finally!

I do apologise to all of you that have emailed me asking if I am okay - Thank you x I am fine it's just the weeks seem to be running away at the moment, no specific reason but I am full of great plans for blogging on a Monday and before I know it it's Sunday again and I haven't posted at all.  Anyway my LO's This first one is my DS3 who started school on January 10th, it was heartbreaking watching my youngest start school :-( I used October afternoon papers and embellishments. This next one is of my oldest child who is 8. I think the papers used are October Afternoon again. Thank you so much for looking Laura x

Hello

Hello all I hope you are okay. I am so sorry for not posting or visiting any blogs things have been rather busy here. My youngest has started school sob sob and I have been getting my SU business off the ground. I haven't quite got the balance right yet but am trying to make more time to craft for me. During the next week this blog will have some changes. As you can see I have already given it a makeover but will be adding other things. I will be posting my favourite recipes, sewing projects and some bits I have made for the house. There is so many crafts I want to try and I will be sharing them here. I will obviously be doing a lot of scrapbooking/cards on here too. Anyway I am getting papers ready for crop tomorrow so I will love you and leave you and will be back next week with quite a few blog posts. Oh and here is a sneak peak of the new room. Laura x

A boys card

One of things this year is to be more organised. For someone who crafts I run out of cards an awful lot, does that happen to anyone else? I have realised I send more cards to boys than I do girls, so it's all well and good making pink and flowery cards but the 9 year old boy at school really doesn't want a forever friends card know what I mean? Anyway I have been making up boys cards so when the boys tell me at 8.30 in the morning I need a card for Joe Bloggs at school I can be the domestic goddess and just go oh just go in the card draw and pick one - good aren't I? The card I made is using a free stamp off one other magazines around this month, coloured with copics (check me out). I used old Basic Grey Boxer and buttons with chipboard. I am entering the card in the following challenges http://designdollies.blogspot.com/ http://toptiptuesday.blogspot.com/ http://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com/ http://aifactorychallenges.blogspot.com/ http://totallypapercrafts.blogspot.com/ http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/ http://raisethebarchallenge.blogspot.com/ http://prairiefairyfridays.blogspot.com/ http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/
