I enjoyed using Prima

which I must say is one of my favourite manufacturers. You never know what they will come out with next but you know it will be extra special.

Here are my two layouts made for Scrapbook Sisters along with a little bit of detail. They took ages but were well worth it.

Thanks for looking. xx

We never go to spend money

but we always do. Our visit to Stamperama turned out to be another fun day. None of us went to buy anything and as usual all three of us came home with a full bag.

Best in show was LB Crafts as usual with some fantastic demos and new ways of using your metal and tools. What did I do when I got home?  Crafting………………no accounts but I do have Tuesday off so am looking forward to playing most of the day.

Now where did I put my………………………stamps:)

Oh and this picture, taken by a kind lady at our table, of us eating hot pork rolls. They made me eat it honest.

017 Thanks for a lovely day Sally and Gayle. Looking forward to the next one.

Our second Beach Day

I still don't know which way up to post this photo. It is one of Sally's “arty” photos. She always throws me:)

IMG_2311 And here’s my lovely husband who holds down a very demanding full time job and still finds time to come along and take part in all the silliness we arrange.

012 He even poses for pictures:)

Our trip to Brighton

was fantastic fun. Sally has a great sense of humour and is up for anything that included leaning over the doughnut counter and taking photos of them as they were made. The lady making the doughnuts must have thought we were mad. They tasted scrummy though.

Saloon Girls 1 Saloon Girls 5b While we were waiting for the photos to be printed we had fish and chips outside on the pier but for some reason we forgot to take photos. I can’t believe we were that hungry:)

One of my favourites

Sometimes you see something and it really makes you want to do something different. About 2 months ago Karen ordered some stamps into the shop. Unfortunately I missed out on buying the one I wanted, they went so quickly, however I did remember one of them.

After being let down on some papers for our fortnightly classes, we decided to make a selection of seaside layouts using cardstock and one piece of paper. This is where my memory came in handy. I drew a picture of a lady disappearing into the sea, enlarged it and then used the pattern for paper piecing. Here is the end result.

006 It was great fun to do and it is certainly something I will do again. I still can’t find the other two layouts I made at the same time. No doubt they will surface at some point and I will share them with you.
