You’ve got to smile….

Sometimes you see something and think WOW and that’s exactly how I felt when I bought the August 2011 issue of Craft Stamper and saw the great Delicate Folds project by Debbie Dolphin.

In the magazine Debbie made a special card but after seeing it I just had to turn it into a book, so I added large quantities of chipboard, Distress Inks, Crackle Paint and Embellishments and made this for Saturdays Mini Project Class.

Despite the clear instructions, we all found putting the concertina pages, really tricky but it was well worth persevering. Thanks for coming ladies and watch out for the Witching Hour Class in October using Tim Holtz Dies and loads of other stuff. No dressing up required.

Lost & Found

No cats involved this time just the name of the lovely MME papers we used in the last set of fortnightly classes.

This is an ideal layout for a wedding picture, prom gown or just a dressing up picture. Although my mum and my nan both spent a lot of their lives sewing, I don’t have one picture of them actually sewing. I really wish I had, had a digital camera back then.

The scissors and the sewing machine are stamped and cut out to make the embellishments.

I used the cut off edge on the paper as a template to cut out the spotty pink paper piece.

The second layout was more complicated but only because it involved lots of flower cutting.

Thanks for looking xx

Facebook has its uses

and one of them is to get great photos from the family. This is a great photo taken yesterday by Jennie of our lovely granddaughter Charlotte and her daddy.

Don’t you just love that wonderful smile. Hope to see you very soon xxxxx

I’ve been practising

my photography skills. Not for very long, because I haven’t had the time, but just a few candid shotos. with the camera off of auto for a change. Here are the results and I think they have come out pretty well.

I used a long lense as getting to close to Harry also involves providing chicken and he’s quite big enough

Thanks for looking. xx

This lovely little girl is growing up

but she’s still scrummy. Here are the latest photos of my little grand-daughter Charlotte.
Her daddy certainly knows how to get all the smiles



And I love my cuddles time.

Grandad couldn’t keep his eyes open

And mummy Jennie found out just who her daughter takes after.

We love our days with the family. Cuddles, good food, cuddles and great company……oh and cuddles
