Saturated Canary–90’s Girl

I am getting quite a collection of Saturated Canary Digi’s now, this one I love it’s Pink Punkette, cool or what?

pink punkette1

Coloured with FlexMarkers by Letraset (love those pens) and teamed with Nitwit Collections Berry designer papers. I even decoupaged the little mouse.

Such a sweet thing isn’t she?

I added some Glossy Accents by Tim Holtz to the letters to make them pop. It makes them look like expensive embellishments, well worth having in your craft stash.

Also a little detail added to the corner, button, ribbon, lace and gems. I added a bit of love to finish the card.

Jack in the Box

You know when you have days that just get you down, I have the perfect remedy for those such days, they say that laughter is a healer and this kid just totally cracks me up, not only is he as cute as cute could be but he is witty and smart to boot, ten minutes with him and he has you grinning from ear to ear.

Jack in the Box.

Little Walker

Oh how I remember those first steps, just how wobbly they are and more often than enough then land on their bums, thanks heavens for nappy padding. Before long they are like whippets and you need to be as fast as Linford Christie to catch them ha ha!

The Digital stamp is Walker by Mo’s Digital Pencil

I used Papertrey Ink designer paper, a piece of lace and papertrey Ink ribbon, some block letters that I picked up at the early learning center a couple of paper flowers and a pretty pink button.

Just a little update on Natalie, she is continuing to get better and she still hasn’t had a cigarette, I’m so proud of her.

Flash, Bang, Wallop

'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture What a picture, what a photograph Poor old soul, blimey, what a joke Hat blown off in a cloud of smoke Clap 'ands, stamp yer feet Bangin' on the big bass drum What a picture, what a picture Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum Stick it in your fam'ly album.

Gosh I love that film, I think Half a Sixpence with tommy Steel should be way up there with the best feel good films.

I know many of you are giving the digi scrapbooking a whirl so here is my next 2 pages.

New for my digital scrapbook album this week.

This is from when we went to the Castle Howard Proms, if you’ve never been I can highly recommend it.

Good news, our neighbour Joyce is out of hospital, I popped the card in for her but didn’t want to disturb them as she had just got home.

I use My Memories Suite to digi scrap and it is an amazingly easy program to work with.

Needs Mummy–Get well card

I thought I should set to and make a card for my wonderful neighbour who is currently in hospital. I.m hoping that they get her sorted out real quick.

I decided on Needs Mummy by Mo’s Digital Pencil and carried the patterned paper through to the inside of the card and also added a little bow in there too.

Finishing with a few flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and some ribbon from Ribbon Carousel

Spring Floral

I have a new free set of Background Sheets for you to download this time 6 Spring Floral themed 12 x 12 sheets I figured you’ll be ready to get into something less chilly with your card making.

We had another drama last night, our neighbour was took into hospital, I love my neighbours they are the best you could find, and elderly couple who in 25 years that we have lived here there has never ever been a cross word and that is a rarity in this day and age, say a prayer for Joyce for a speedy recovery please, I spoke to George this morning and he is quite upset as they have never been apart.

Just a Boy

Morning all, well my sleeping pattern is getting no better, I’m in bed early now, mostly before 10pm that is actually very early for me as I used to struggle to be in bed before 2am, I am waking a number of times during the night and normally wide awake and bushy tailed by 3am and having to force myself back to sleep until around 5.30am, I am absolutely bushed to say the least, it is like walking through a fog.

This morning the whole household was up and having a cuppa by 6.30 and Natalie although still in a lot of pain is looking much better, she is presently as sound as a baby laying on the sofa.

I have started to pack up the Christmas decorations but need his nibs to get it all into the loft for me.

My card today is made using a digi stamp from Spesch stamps

goth boy1

Coloured with Copic sketch markers then teamed with Stampin Up designer papers and the lucious ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel  lurve… her ribbons, most are from Maya Art.

I’m hoping to pop to the local garden centre today as I have had my eyes on a beautiful wire Christmas tree that I’m hoping will now be in the sales, I bought a little pottery nativity from there just before Christmas which I love. So I’ll take Natalie along if she is well enough and we’ll have a coffee while we are there.

A Journey Best Forgotten

Well we had a very sober celebration which is fine by me a a half bottle of larger and I’m a bit sqiuffy. Hope you lot did it in style.

Natalie continues to get better and I took her for a bit of fresh air in the car, ha ha. To see out Lauren as she was missing Jack and then to my Mams, we didn’t stay long as i knew it would take it out of her but she was climbing our walls and needed a change of scene.

She did end up spending the rest of the day laying on the sofa but at least she had a good morning.

What I didn’t tell you all is that Natalie is a smoker and has now gone 5 days without one, in her words she is clamming for one but I have tried to advise her in the fact if she does have one it is putting poison back into her mouth and we really can’t chance the risk of her face being re-infected. I know how hard it is to give up but she is doing amazing and I’m so proud of her doing without.

I Figured whats happened to her should be Scrapbooked so I did a page layout using My Memories Suite 

Christmas2011-009

And as we visited Jack this morning I made a page layout of him too.
