A Few Scrappies

Had to wait to upload these ones as they were using the Mystery Kit for UKS crop over the last 3 weeks or so - or finishing this weekend. Not managed anything else related to it but will def be going back to look at the classes as a way to get scrapping again - I seem to have more fits and bursts with scrapping even though when I get going I am quite quick. Yellow Wellies was the submission the others were using things up :-)

Peep po Mojo

He popped in for a while last night and I managed a couple of 12 x 12 scrap pages which I haven't done in a while - I have more but I can't show just yet - have to wait a while to release them. Anyway a couple of photies. The first two I added titles too that have been hanging around for an age part complete.



This one - I love the left hand side but not sure about the rest - it may get amended..... so watch this space - it was for a UKS Team challenge to use paint ages ago!!!

These two just loved the photos and colour potentials - really enjoyed putting these together again both have been hanging around my desk for an age the lst one I did all of it last night including the letters which are painted with lumiere acrylics in three blues, diamond glazed then sparkled with glitter.... I am trying to see how many words I can get out of my letters!!! lol.

Well that should keep your crafty taste buds going for a while anyway

More JB Challenges and some Scrapping!

Well if this little lot doesn't show how eclectic my "style" is I don't know what does!!! Lots of cards, littel scraps (8inch) and a couple of biggies all for JB challenges so gotta go and link them all up now!

First Page

Technically my first 12x12 as i did quite a few smaller ones first for some albums over Christmas about 11 months before this but thats where it stopped!!! I then let things drop for a while and this was my first proper to please myself page.

Time for crafting...

OK a few things to upload - not sure they will all make it into one post but we will give it a go.

Photies

Blimey

Its saturday - how did that happen - lol. I have been busy crafting fro a manic week of challenges at CBC - Bex has a weekend of challenges this weekend - but hers are 'ard stuff so I am not sure how many of those I will do....

Few piccies for you - one with the piccies of the lottie was taken Wednesday when I went a watering - its come on even more as John and I spent most of the day there again today - alot tidier etc and a bit more planting done.

Had great fun and there is some more but Blogger isn't playing ball anymore so will add to another post another day

OK its deleted all but 2 of the piccies - who knows what it is playing at - will try again later

Missed one

I thought there was a gap and I knew I did three 8x8 and couldn't find the third last night/this am so here it is. Cait was just sitting with me whilst we watched TV and she tipped forward - I thought she was going for something but bless her she had fallen fast asleep holding on tight to my hand.

Oooooooh and look another one lurking........ This was a paint and doily one - I thought oooh hmmm not my thing and although i like the layout - still not convinced on the doily thing - although the centre of the doily was nice too so hence the second painting session in the bottom corner - not sure it does much for the LO design - think it might have been better without but enjoyed the faffing about anyway.

Then finally my first inchies - quite enjoyed just stamping and colouring these then diamond glazed and sprinkled a bit of very fine glitter for extra sparkle. I may put some more DG on them to tile them up properly as they are really pretty - might even go as far as to frame them...

Got lots to keep out of this one and showed myself 1. How much I can achieve in a focussed time and 2. That actually I am a fast scrapper but to be fast you have to plan really (photos etc)

And Finally....for now

A little little book for Shimmelle's class. I like this girl she has a wonderful obsession with cupcakes and crafting, www.shimmelle.com so I had fun doing this one. Then another class using up lots of scrapps and bits for the artist - I had a great series of photos of Cait colouring in - she just LOVES it - so I think I will have a crafting partner in the future! Just can't wait.

My sister phoned and Cait has enjoyed her little holiday and has been as good as gold for them. She and her cousin have had them all in hysterics dancing, trying to work out how to turn the telly on, running around and generally being nearly two year olds! I would have loved t have been there too but a girl can only be in one place at a time and frankly - I enjoyed my little holiday as well!!!

I did miss out a number of classes - generally a bit more complicated ones, but am hoping to do a few over the next week or so.

and ON

These first two are actually scraps of me! I wondered where Cait got her attitude from ..... Isn't the red one a great piccie!!! I must get these photo's off Dad and try and repair them myself - he paid to have them all scanned in but personally I think they did an appalling job! I think he thought so too in fact I am not sure he paid them in the end as it was so bad. I haven't really got into repairing photos but it might be a skill worth developing. I just love the one with the Camera - I do actually remember playing with Dad's camera alot - and this is a rare photo of it - as obviously he used to be taking the photos - this one I think was taken by a neighbour or possibly my Uncle Joe/Gran on Dad's side as they visited alot when we lived up there. Last one is my lovely Daffodils photo - well strictly speaking they aren't Daffs but who would know! We did this one as a tweedle dee and dum swap scrap - we used the same photie and gave each other a quote to use. I did this in about 5 minutes flat and absolutely love the result - really suits the piccie.

It goes on

Talk about manic scrapping - remember I did most of this Sunday!! These are some of the fun things they did as challenges which didn't come out too badly.

I knew the stalks off the Dunelm flowers would come in useful at some point :-)
