Souvenir Digital Scrapbooking

Well it was a funny sort of night last night, I wanted to get a card made but after making 2 dinners and two lots of washing up it just wasn't going to happen.

I then remembered a picture that I had wanted to share with you all.

Jack is such a funny fellow now, he even knows how to kid you into things and knows how to have fun winding you up, little imp that he is.

This is the fun loving little man on his holidays have fun on the rides.

His smile is infectious no?

So I have started trying a little exercise each morning, nothing major just enough to raise the heart rate a little, so every morning I have a date with the Wii fit, aerobics step, hula hoop which should be hidden from the public eye ha ha, and then a little jog. Today however it didn't happen, nothing was working on me this morning so I won't miss out, I intend doing it tonight when I get in from work.

Slugger Sam

Seeming as though I’m in a sporting keep fit mode I thought I’d share Slugger Sam with you.

Slugger Sam is a fun character from Dr Digi’s

Coloured with Promakers by Letraset papers are Stampin Up and the Ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel 

A Night Out

Well I had a night off on Sunday and my husband took me out, not far just to a place we used to go every Sunday night, I wasn’t drinking unless you can count 2 diet cokes and a J20.

It was lovely to see old friends as it has been 4 years since I had a proper night out, you sort of get stuck in a rut, forgetting what fun it is to socialise, some of our old friends aren’t with us now and it was strange going in to our local and not seeing them sit in their normal seats, you know a week in week out thing.

Another thing that was strange for me was I wore an on the knee skirt without tights or leggings, being a psoriasis sufferer my legs were always in a terrible state so skirts were generally a no no, since being on my injections most of my psoriasis on my legs has cleared up, yes I have loads of scaring but 90% better and I felt confident enough to show a leg.

We even had a game of bingo ha ha, not so funny really as Chris won a line and a full house, I was surprised they didn’t kick us out. I may even try to get back into the habit of having the occasional night out again, I was wished Happy New Year and Happy Birthday, I had to ask which one as it had been so long.

So i thought I would leave you with my tidy ribbons, much tidier than they were, I am still sorting and adding some of my favourite and most expensive ones onto something special to store them and hopefully I’ll be able to show you that real soon.

Not colour co-ordinated but type co-ordinated

my others are on spools in colour gradients so I think I’m getting there.

Mega Flakes, Pan Pastels, Indigo Blu, Oh My!

It does the soul good to play and see what happens, so I got out the Flitter glue, Mega Flakes, Pan Pastels and Poppy Heart By IndigoBlu and started to play.

Pearls and Ribbon Buckle are from Mei Flower my favourite embellishment company.

I used the Brighton Pier Mega flakes on the Poppy Heart stamp you can see it has a fabulous effect on the picture below.

The prayer stamp I’ve had for years and I think it was a Stampendous stamp, I bought at a craft fair.

I had a little hiccup with my making the right choices in food on Saturday, Jack had been baking with his Mam and made both myself and his Grandad a chocolate cornflake cake, I picked the smallest one though and it was simply delishhhhhh.

A Ladies Diary

Basically one of the most beautiful paper pads on the market at the moment, it’s is A Ladies Diary by Graphic 45 and I had to have it, I decided to use it entirely for my card and team it with the beautiful laces from Ribbon Carousel 

Isn’t it gorgeous? the image and postcard elements are also inside the paper pad, what's more there isn’t one single paper that I don’t like, they are all gorgeous.

This is just one of the beautiful ladies that is in the pad.

The postcard is on the same page.

this shows 5/8" Natural Crochet Ribbon edging and the 1" Ivory/Light Blue Crochet/Velvet Ribbon

All in all the perfect paper pad available here
