Half term x

Well it's half term already and the girls have been playing and having fun together.  I have managed to squeeze in a little scrapbooking and here is my latest page. 

Olivia loves cooking and can't wait to lick the spoon when she`s finished.

Hope you like it xx

CCW January Scrap Map

Another great sketch from the Creative Craft World..  Here is the sketch.....




Here is my take on the sketch.  This is my eldest daughter taken on holiday last year, she thought she looked so good wearing her dads sunglasses x
My aim for the beginning of this year is to try and use up some of my old papers which are just sitting around not doing much.  These papers are from the Love Elsie collection, I love the colours and they suit my little girl perfectly.

Hope you like it xx

Felt flowers

I was looking at some of the layouts on the Bobunny blog and came across these gorgeous felt flowers their designer had used on her layout http://bobunny.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-than-4.html (take a look).  I dug out my felt and had a go at making my own.

1.  Fold a piece of felt 10cm  in length, 3cm in width in half and snip across the fold.






2.  Fold one end in and hold in place with a stitch

 3.  Keep rolling the the felt along and securing in place with little stitches.








4.  Once rolled up you should end up with something like this, secure into place with a few more stitches.  Now make a layout to put them on EASY!

November Kit from CCW

I love this kit and all of the colours.  I needed a break from all the christmas crafts we have been up, I feel like I have been knee deep in wrapping paper, glue and glitter!

This is of my eldest daughter Chloe taken at our local park xx

 

Christmas Cookie Jars

Christmas Pressies for the Aunties!

Its surprising what you can do with a couple of Dolmio jars xx

Busy!

What a busy few weeks we have had I cant believe christmas in only 3 sleeps away, what is the man in red going to bring this year?

I have some crafty christmas pressies on the go at the moment, I made a hanging for my boss shown below and I have made some cookie jars form the CCW inspiration will update with some pictures tomorrow as they are not quite ready.

I have other good news I entered the Scrapbook Magazine Scrapbooker of the year competition and came runner which was a bit of a shock as only entered on a bit of a whim I didnt actually think I would get anywhere.  I'm still waiting to recieve the magazine which the layouts have been published in I think it maybe stuck in Christmas post.

Well hopefully may get some scrapping done in between wrapping, cooking and keeping the kids occupied  xx
