One of my favourite papers.....

Now, it's pretty well known amongst my scrapping friends that I have had a bit of an addiction to Basic Grey papers but I have to say that they now don't quite hold the place in my heart that they once did and there are a couple of ranges of papers that I have taken a liking to. One is We Are Memory Keepers White Out and the other is Fancy Pants Summer Soiree. I have used Summer Soiree for lots of layouts and this is the most recent one.

I have to confess that this is not my own design but it is a scraplift from Scrapbook Trends magazine.

The photographs were taken last year on a day out to Mudeford in Dorset last year to visit my mum and dad who were holidaying there.

Copic Colour Challenge 62 - just in time!!!

I haven't participated in many challenges recently but have decided it's time to do a few more - so late yesterday evening I decided to make a start - I finished around midnight and uploading to my blog with an hour to spare!

Here are this weeks colours for the challenge;

This is my card;

Sorry about the cat in the background - he doesn't like to be left out! Hope you like it!

I really like this one.

Holly was recently asked by a couple of friends who are keen photographers to be a model for them. She was very happy to help them out and in spite of getting scratched by the shrubs and twigs at the park she thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. In my layout I have used one of the photos from the shoot and some Bo Bunny papers.

I have only added a Scenic Route rub-on, a piece of cotton lace and one of my favourite Tim Holtz stamps. I resisted the urge to add anything else and embraced the white space!

Here's the last two......

Here are the last two layouts from March's Limited Edition class .

I've been a bad blogger and not updated much recently although I have been inspired to finished many of my unfinished layouts so I have lots to show over the next few weeks.

Limited Edition Class

In March I went to my first Limited Edition Class at Scrapbook Sisters. I had a great time with a beautiful kit, great layout examples and great company. I have made six layouts from my kit and have enough to make at least one more. Here are the first four layouts.

I've got two more layouts to show tomorrow but in the meantime I am off to the April Limited Edition Class this afternoon whicj I am definitely looking forward to!

A Bee Card

It's my mother in laws Birthday today and she has always wanted a bee hive in her garden but my father in law is not so enthusiastic at the idea! Well, we found a compromise and we bought her a solitary bee house so of course  a bee themed card was needed too.

The bee hive itself is cut on the Cricut in white card and then I coloured it with Copics (of course), the background is stamped with a set of Tapestry stamps and then I stamped the six little bees and coloured them with Copics. I have had the bee stamp for a long time and cannot read the makers name on it.

I like the idea of cutting shapes on the Cricut and then colouring with Copics, I think I will have to cut a few more shapes and see what else I can colour to make them a bit more interesting.

I've been making cards.......

I have made a few cards for Scrapbook Sisters recently, to demonstrate a few of the many products that we have in the shop. Here is a selection

The Gorjuss Girl decoupage is........well just gorjuss and in case you need any more justification to buy Copic pens they have been used on the card above and the mushroom card to colour on acetate!
