I am BACK scrapping at last!!!!

Yes I am back!!!! After doing the intensive training at work and trying to keep that New Year's Resolution by making my own cards I have finally got the scrappy habit once again. It was tough I have to confess, I went along to a Scrapaholic's group in Bromley run by the lovely Pat and that kick started me but found it tough going! Still the lovely Helen was there next to me ripping away and filling me with inspiration! So what have I been up to then........

Well first of all I have finally got my DH onto a LO! Here he is the other week in the garden really chilled out. Been using my stash up so this is from a Doodlebug kit from Gottacraft that I have used some of but knew that I would end up using more for him.




Last month's Gottacraft kit was the lovely Crate Paper Blue Hills so these have just proved to be soo perfect for some lovely summery girlie LOs of DD and her cousins:

Birdie on this one is by the Artistic Stamper and has be lightly stamped and then I went over it with Sakara Souffle pen:
Finally I go back to the very beginning as it were with the kit that I got at the Scrapaholics crop. The techinique was Glossy Accents which I have used on the swirls kindly provided by using Pat's Big Shot and dies at the crop. Lots of butterflies (and the flowers!) from an Autumn Leaves set by Rhonna Farrer which have been coloured using H2Os. Lettering from a QVC kit by Brenda Pinnick!

Time for some LOs!

As promised but not much time to chat so hope you like these - if you do leave a comment to say so!

First one is of my niece who wrote the poem in school and my Mum asked me to do a LO for her. Used a Pencillines sketch for this one.

Second is the weekly challenge for w/c 12 May on UKS and also my team challenge where I was not allowed to scap a picture of a person, had to use green, buttons and show my handwriting too! From a Cloud 9 kit from QVC

Finally Grow is from a kit from Gottacraft and is using sketch no 4 from Pencillines. It is DD in the garden where she keeps watching and waiting for her plant to flower.

I am loving using sketches at the moment cause I find I can work so quickly from them. Also when used with a kit like the Gottacraft one you don't need to worry too much about your mojo going astray!

Done a LO!!!

Yes at last I have finally got around to doing a LO! These photos were sent to me by my Mum of my nieces, my baby bro and his new girlfriend. I don't think I have ever scrapped photos so fast ever and it also meant I got to use my Gottacraft kit (http://www.gottacraft.co.uk/) from March at last.

Anyway do leave a comment to say you have been!

Back to the vets!

That is where we went on Friday with Cheshire - seems he has some sort of urinary infection so today is being spent trying to get him to wee on some special cat litter so that we can get a sample otherwise he has to be admitted and they will get one from him at the vets.

Finally been doing some scrapping rather than just doing cards, used the Gottacraft March Kit (yes I am a bit behind!) but if you want to see the past kits or even get hold of the next one have a look on Sandra's site www.gottacraft.co.uk under kits. I got a really lovely photo of my brother and my two nieces from my mum last weekend and immediately they shouted SCRAP ME! So I have finally got around to it - just need to cut a title, stick it all together and do the journaling and I will be done and hopefully will upload tomorrow when DD is back at school.

Talking of which the holidays are just so silly this year - it is only 5 weeks and then they are off again and there is a bank holiday in between as well. Still she has been really good with me working and DH looking after her whilst I am there for the last week. We have also had some time to do her first two scrapbook pages and this afternoon the plan is to paint a mug which she got in a kit for Christmas. Lots of pics to be taken and uploaded this week and this is all before the UKS Cybercrop which starts on Friday evening!
