Catching up and new layout

Finished off a couple of layouts that I had started in Lisa's classes at Sir Stampalot.  It's been so long ago now that I couldn't remember where all the little bits and pieces were supposed to go.  I am sure I took a photo but couldn't find it, so I just did what I could.  It feels good to be completing unfinished layouts, yay so good.

I've started my son's album and this is a baby layout.  The baby Template is from the Silhouette store (designer Alaa'K) - it was a bit of a challenge to cut it out as it's 12 x 12 grid and I don't have a CAMEO - yet :)  So, I cut it out in two parts and then stuck them together.  I have filled the squares with images from the Silhouette store.  The stork is K1 memories, Baby Boy from Samantha Walker, rattle Lori Whitlock, Hello Sweet Baby Alaa'K, teddy bear Rivka Wilkins.

Thanks for looking,

Holiday memories

I've had the whole day to myself :) but I did have chores to do :(


But I did find a little bit of spare time to make a couple of cards. The first one is for Saturday Sketch and I've used the print and cut images by Samantha Walker cut on the Silhouette. I am so excited, the Silhouette has a new design programme and it looks AWESOME - just got to get used to it now.

Also had time to fit in another card using some distress inks, my oh my, what a mess! Love playing around with the inks but must remember to keep wiping hands to stop getting fingerprints on everything LOL (and also scan the card straight....)

Have a good week.

Holiday Journal

Well, with only three weeks to go until my holiday I really thought it was time to stop thinking about making my travel journal and to actually get on with it! I've given it so much thought and yet when I actually sat down to make a start, I have made it competely different, lol. That's always the way, don't you find? I haven't got very far, but at least I've got the pages cut and covered the front and back. I've sourced a few maps and have got quite a bit of info.
Oh, better tell you where I'm actually going - I'm doing the Coast to Coast walk with hubby Steve. The route is from St Bees to Robin Hood Bay and is 190 miles long, which works out at an average of 14.5 miles per day. Shorter days occur early in the tour, where steep gradients and rough going are encountered during the crossing of several high passes in the Lake District. The days get longer towards the end of the tour, with 24 miles, mostly on level ground, between Richmond and Osmotherley being followed by a day of 21 miles over the Cleveland Hills and North York Moors, YIKES. It seemed like a good idea at time of booking.....

Take care,

Baby card

Hi all,

A couple of quick cards. My cousin has just had a baby boy and this is a very quick and simple card cut on my Silhuette. Design by Samantha Walker - very cute isn't it. Could have done more but to be truthful, just wanted to keep it clean and simple.Second card, up and coming friend's birthday and this is a card inspired by Jennifer McGuire - It's not as good as hers but hey, I'm still learning :)

Got the sewing machine out and really must learn to sew straight! The Butterfly is a hero arts design and cuts fabulous.
Hope you're having a super Bank Holiday weekend - even though it's raining as I type this!
