LONDON

Back in the summer, last year, on a very hot and sunny August Sunday we all went as a family on a day trip up to London. We were celebrating my brother-in-laws birthday. We took the train to Charring Cross  and took a short stroll to Trafalgar Square. I hadn't really realised how close together so many of the London landmarks are and a short walk took us through Trafalgar Square, through Horse Guards Parade, across the Mall with a quick wave to Buckingham Palace, past the Duke of York, past Eros and into the Rainforest Cafe.

It has taken me a while to scrap the photos but I have made them into a mini book at last. I just covered beer mats with patterned paper and used book rings to bind it. I had so many photos to use that I had to keep embellishments to a minimum to stop the book getting too fat! I hope you like it!

  

These are just a few of the pages.

The Sugar Bowl - Challenge 31 - Judy's Sketch

This weeks challenge is a sketch with an emphasis on stars!

So here's my card;

I had already coloured this little Gorjuss Girl,who has little red stars on her boots. To follow the theme I inserted 4 different sized stars into a word document, attached the red paper to a piece of copy paper with Herma and printed straight on to the red paper. The greeting is from my well used Papermania clear stamp set and the papers are from a 8x8 pack called Red Rockets Glare by gcd Studios which I think are meant to be Christmasy papers but they seem to fit quite well.

Mojo Monday 129

This weeks sketch at Mojo Monday is an interesting one this week.

Here is my card;

Sorry about the slightly fuzzy photograph - it looked ok on the camera screen!!!

The stamp of course is a Gorjuss Girl coloured with copics and the papers that I used are Basic Grey and Doodlebug, both from my off cuts drawer. I love these little paper flowers which are from the 99p Shop!

Copic Colour Challenge 55

This week at the Copic Colour Challenge the colour choice is more sober than my normal choice of colours.

I decided to go for something different and I have made a boys card this week.

The stamped image is a Hanglar stamp, the patterned papers are Basic Grey, the buttons are from my stash and the Happy Birthday stamp was bought at the stamp show recently but I don't know who made it!

I'm loving this challenge!

In Miniature Project Finished

Karen always comes up with some great "little" projects for our monthly In Miniature Classes at Scrapbook Sisters and Februarys class was another winner. It has taken me quite a long time to complete it properly but I am pleased with the results!

We made the box to start with and then made the little wallets with the tags inside. the lovely papers are My Minds Eye. I'm looking forward to the next class now! (although I must admit that I have some past projects that I have not yet finished!

Hope you like it!

Shabby Chic at The Sugar Bowl

www.lilackittycreations.blogspot.com

Julie at Rainbow Days told me about The Sugar Bowl challenge blog which is using Sugar Nellie stamps which we both love! The challenge this week has a sketch and the additional instruction is to make the card shabby chic style.

I think I got a bit carried away with the shabby chic theme and my card is pretty distressed!

The papers are Papermania and the stamp is Planting Some Love. I hope that you like the card and I would love to see your comments.

Copic Colour Challenge 54

I am really enjoying this challenge as the only requirements are to use the colours given or as close as possible. The colours this week are:

Here is my card;

I wanted to use this stamp from Rubber Romance bought on last weeks trip to the Stevenage Stamp Show. I decided to keep it quite simple and after colouring the image with Copics , of course, I used patterned paper from DCWV which has been in my stash for a long time.I added a circle of vellum which I outlined with a silver pen and then cut leaves from the Cricut and punched some flowers from pink vellum which I shaped and added, with a few dots of liquid pearls in the centre of the flowers and on the corners. I really like the vellum flowers and leaves. I have a 50th Birthday card to make so they may well be on there too!
