what a lovely royal wedding it was yesterday. Although I must confess to not being into all the churchy stuff I thought the bride looked beautiful and they make a lovely couple. Wish queeny would smile a little more too. Anyway, managed to squeeze in a LO in the afternoon using Sarahs Cards May 2010 kit...fancy pants.

Easter Weekend

What a lovely weekend...aside from the day spent in 2 hospitals with Soph's infected post op wound. Still we won't mention that! Mum and brother were over monday and it was lovely. Did the easter egg hunt for the children (as we were at Bournemouth beach on Sunday) and they had lots of fun in the paddling pool too.

On a roll.....

A variation on a theme of a LO from a class at the Sarahs Cards retreat I recently attended.

School Results Day

Got the school place allocations today and it seems we are off to St Marks in September. Had a freind of Sophie's over for a sleepover last night and the little tinkers were up at 4:30am so I am pooped. Managed to get another LO finished last night though...and thank goodness its the last one from a kit that I really didn't enjoy the colours of. They are very bright and bold and not my thing at all really. Still I was determined to maximise the use and not waste it so I have squeezed 3 LO's from it and am quite pleased with myself given I haven't done any scrapping in ages!

Time for a BBQ!

Have finished the UKS weekly challenge, for a change. Totally out of my comfort zone as it is a minimal LO. Tried stamping directly onto bazzil for the first time- I am trying not to buy any more stash until the supplies I have are diminished..ha ha..like that's going to work. Didn't have bright red small letters hence the stamped letters using some 'clearly handstamped' stamps I bought from create and craft a while back.

Finally managed to finish the LO I have been working on for a couple of weeks. Halfway through another already. Perhaps the mojo is returning!

Happy Mothers Day

Still haven't managed to finish the LO I seem to have been working on forever. But I did manage to make this. Its a larger version (postcard size) of a make and take at the Sarah's Cards retreat I went to in March. I have a lot of grungeboard letters still to use (courtesy of Ally Pally a few years ago) and I didn't have a clue what to do with them until now.
