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/

A quick card

Back in December it was a friends daughters birthday. I didn't have the time to spend ages on a card so out came the Forever Friends decoupage. I used papermania papers with it and I think it worked out really well. Sorry about the bad photo it was the only one I had x The craft room is finished and I will share pictures this week with you all. Laura x x
