gift bag

i've made what i thought was going to be a nice easy gift bag to put mums pressies in.....well i started it when i wasn't feeling too good (think it's flu i've got!!) it turned out to be a nightmare to make and i know it shouldn't have!! anyway it's finished now :) i got the idea from splitcoast stampers. thier's was a little bag-think it suits being little better than the one i did which turned out rather larger than i thought it would!!!

february's pages

i've managed to do my feb pages-not bad,it was only 5 days into feb :)

i remembered not to do any texture pastes on this one!!

i 1st sprayed the pages with glimmer mist that the lovely gez sent to me,then i put some chipboard butterflies down and sprayed again, then removed them once the page was dry. then i used an adirondack spray on the edges.
i cut squares from paper and stuck then on at wobberly angles!! i've used a tiny corner stamp on each of them from prima.
scribbled the days on the top of the page. used purple stickers for the title and put clear stickers with hearts on them over the top.

365 challenge challenge

over on bubbly funk some of us have got ourselves into a challenge. it's called 2010 365 challenge not sure why it's called a calendar coz it's more like a journal!!! anyway,i've decided to join in with this one because you only need to write in a 4cm square each day and i'm sure even i can manage that LOL.
here's the 1st page - january.






i've used,inks paints and foam stamps and some scraps of paper......i've also added to this challenge for myself not to buy anything to do this journal - just use what i have.
here's the finished page :)



to do the title i used my cricut with a new fabby programme that dh got me for christmas -sure cuts alot2 :) took me a while because it was the 1st time i'd used it but i managed to move each letter to a different angel and weld them together,then i worked out how to cut a shadow for it :) all with the help of you tube!!

NON RETREATER MINI CYBER CROP!!!!

over on bubbly funk some of the girls have been lucky enough to go away together to have a weekend full of crafting and chatting,those that are left behind are doing a mini crop between us -thanks to kathy for the great idea :)
joanne put a class up to make a pop up gift card holder...........here's mine............





i used a sketch from kathys sketch blog (1st time i've used a sketch for a card-and i liked it :)) the papers i used came free from a magerzine-can't remember which one or when (sorry!) the blue bit inside should fit but it was a bit of scrap i found on my desk and i wanted to use it,so i did LOL i figured it didn't matter that white was showing on the inside of the card because there was white showing on the front :D

a very blue star book!!

i was showing my hairdresser the other week my 'very pink star book' and she asked me to make a blank blue one so she could give it to a freind of hers. i hope they like it :)

very pink star book!!!

i've made this star book for a cousin,she's always dressed in something pink so i thought that was the best colour to use :)

scrap your day

shimelle laine has done a class/challenge on uks and it's to scrap one day in each month,it's called ...scrap your day. we started on 25th april,so my photos were of what i got up to on the 1st day of their cyber crop. i took photos of my bedside clock too coz i thought it would be interesting to see what time i got up each day and when i went to bed, i think the dishwasher and washing machine might feature alot in the months too!!!!
i've only just finished the cover of my book and i've got the photos printed,so i need to work on them next!!!
