Me on Monday

Today finds me joining in again with this meme from Sian x

This weekend found me battling the elements to have a Christmas Lunch with friends, watching our amazing fight to win the Davis Cup on TV, had the boys playing a blowy game of golf & had the smell of fruit cake wafting around the house.

Today finds me waiting for for on line orders to arrive.

Have a good week.

Playing catch up

I thought I'd show you what I created for the HLM blog way back in September.I focused on the cork numbers in the Crate Paper Wonder range.

1 love.

I embossed the cork number with gold powder for this page.

 Just us 2.

I left the number au natural but used it for inspiration for the background.

 Hello cake!

This time I changed the colour of the cork with gelatos.

For all the details for products used, hop on over to the blog.

Thanks for looking x

It's been an outside, inside kind of weekend. On saturday I attended a reunion marking 30 years since the start of my nurse training, followed by a trip to the movies. 

Sunday had me feeling a little under the weather so saw me working on Project Life & enjoying homemade chicken pie.

Monday finds me sharing good news with friends & wearing a smile despite still feeling rough.

Have a good week x

Frosty Festivities Blog Hop

Welcome to the Frosty Festivities Blog Hop. 

At this time of year I like to make a start on my Christmas makes. This year I plan to crochet some decorations and some present tags.For these sort of makes I usually find  free patterns on Pinterest.

I chose a tree design this year. After crocheting this "Granny Square" style tree I sprayed it with laundry spray starch & allowed it to dry naturally, to help it hold it's shape when on my tree.

I've also made a selection of these small stars to decorate special presents with. They still have a hanging loop so the recipient can use them as a decoration if they so wish. Here's a close up.

I'm now planning on making some bunting with lots of multi coloured stars to decorate our bannisters.

UKS Weekly Challenge

One of my UKS team mates, Nikki has organised the weekly challenge over there this week. We were challenged to use...

5 patterned papers

5 Project Life cards

mixed media

gold or silver

This is the page I made, scraplifted from a lo I saw on pinterest.

I've used mainly Fancy Pants Summer Fun papers & embellishments plus a cut file from The Cut Shoppe. The two tags have gold edging & I've added some gold mist splats for the mixed media element.The photos were taken during a reunion in Australia last year & suit the colours well.

Many thanks for looking.

Saturday found us watching amazing fireworks with friends at a local community bonfire organised by the scouts.

Sunday found us honouring, remembering and parading before sitting down as a family for dinner.

Today found me turning up the heating as feeling so cold whilst finishing the last of my bonfire night candy floss.

Hope you have a good week x
