Happy 1st anniversary!

 

This is my finished layout from my class at the Craft Den. I can't belive this week was Rachel and Carl's 1st anniversary. How time flies!

Meet Lloyd our temporary foster dog for the weekend, he is off tomorrow to his retirement home by the Devon sea!

Last night's scrapbooking class

Here's my LO from last night's class. The papers are perfect with my woodland photo's of Daisy. The leaves were cut from the new Tim Holtz die. I doodled and added stickles to finish them off. The title is also from a Tim Holtz alphabet die Carnivale.

I cut my circle in half as the paper was double sided and I couldn't make a decision which side to use, so I used both! We used a lovely Martha Stewart border punch which I added gems to highlight the centre.

Holidays.....

 

Over Easter I've had a lovely long  nine day break at the Seaside.....Luna had her 1st bus ride. Here she is, sat at the front of the bus with my younger brother David!

My oldest dog Daisy is getting on now but she still loves a run on the beach. After the first few days she was struggling to get up the stairs to the caravan, so we had to limit the time on the beach for her!

We went on lots of lovely walks, this was taken near Burgh Le Marsh, the fields were such stunning colours! The weather looks great but the cold Northernly wind spoilt it, hence why Ive got my coat zipped to the top!

I even found time to Craft, (apologises for the photos, they were took on my mobile) I am shocked to say this but I enjoyed using the Peel Offs! Im not a "Peel Off kinda girl" but I purchased an old card making magazine and I loved the article in it using the bird cage designs. It also matched a lovely set of new stamps on front of this months Simply Cards & Papercrafts with the sentiment "Have a tweet Day!" I also used K & Company paper from the Madeline Mat Pad.

 

Overall I couldn't have asked for better weather, a relaxing time was had by all my family and friends. We watched the Royal wedding together and had a bar b que in the afternoon. Also my older brother turned 18th this week so we celebrated his birthday with a meal out.

Steady on....

Wow...two posts in a weekend! I couldn't resist sharing this photo of Luna and Daisy today. Luna is a real handful and some days we despair of her but she still makes us smile. Luna was determined that she was going to sit in the chair with Daisy no matter what!

Early this year I pieced a large Superking quilt for my bedroom, using mainly Amy Butler fabrics. I I just loved the fabric so much that I wanted to use up the leftover fabric so I made another tote bag. A woman can never have too many bags! I've posted the first tote bag I made last year. I think the fabric really changes the look of the bag. I also added some longer handles as I want to use it as a beach bag when I go on my holidays in May.

Finally back crafting....

These photos are from Isabel's 2nd birthday last July. We had a bouncy castle in the garden. I think the adults enjoyed it as much as the kids! I have used a lovely range of Bo Bunny papers from the Craft Den. I have also had chance to play with my Hougie Board to make the rosettes.

I have even managed to get back to my weekly classes at the Craft Den. I want to get my Sister's wedding album finished as it will be her 1st anniversary next month so I used this week's layout to show off a family shot. We used the new Tim Holtz Rosette die and a new Marianne Creatables die to make the roses. I stamp mine with a text stamp to add some interest to the flowers.

A bit of crafting.....

Finally finished....

 

This is last Thursday's Layout from my Scrapbooking Class at the Craft Den. It has took me 5 days to find the time to put the finishing touches on! I just don't know where the weekends go.....

I wanted to merge some of the title into the lovely Prima paper we used....Im not sure if it worked but the thought was there! I used paper from the White Wash range for the title and it is sanded back to show more colour.

The pictures are taken by the river in Bakewell Derbyshire last summer, of my twin sister, Rachel and her daughter, Isabel.
