Amy's scrapbook

Well it's been 4 months since my last post. I have no idea where the time has gone --- football, family, work, craft and more football (mighty Spurs qualifying for Champions League woohoo) have kept me very busy.

I can't promise that I'm going to be blogging more regularly as I know that family stuff is going to take priority in the upcoming few months --- but I will try.

Anyway, the project that has been keeping me occupied for the last few months is my niece's 18th scrapbook. I kept saying that I wouldn't have a last minute panic but yep I did. I have to say a huge thank you to Kerrie for giving me a kick when I needed it :o)

Here are some piccies of some of my favourite pages:

Love this paper from Basic Grey

Busy busy busy

After working through most of this weeks lunch breaks, I'm putting my foot down (ouch that hurt!) and having some "me" time today. So the plan is to do a quick update on here and then settle down for an uninterrupted half hour with the new fab Stampin Up catalogue :o)

Right here goes. I realised last night that I hadn't shown a piccie of the card that I made for my mum and dad to give to my niece. The request "from the birthday girl" was that I had to base it on the card that I received from Kerrie. She loved it :o)

The cupcake stamp is Imaginisce and the papers are a combination of Pebbles and a bit of Doodlebug.

The look of the card isn't the only thing that Kerrie had influence over - the other is the yummy bling. I happened to mention to her that I was probably going to get a Bejeweller - before I knew it, she'd sent me the link for one that was not only cheaper than anywhere else but was also PINK !!!!! Thank you Kerrie (((hugs)))

A Mags card

Anyone who knows Mags will know that she's a very special lady :o) Sooooo I wanted to make her a special card for her birthday.

After gaining inside information ;o) that she'd liked the "card" that I'd made for Sam and was loving turquoise and brown at the mo - this card kind of created itself.






It was nice to do a girlie version of Sam's book. On that one, I had to add football references but on Mags' I could use flowers and glitter - yippeee! LOL

The stamps are Imaginisce and Stampin' Up.

Same but different!

Same stamp - my new gorgeous Imaginisce Chick
Same message stamp – Penny Black
Same papers - Pebbles
Same circles - Nestabilities
Same brads - well kind of LOL The top ones are the new yummy Doodlebug velvet covered brads and the bottom one is a Doodlebug mind brad.

The only difference is the layout. Both layouts are from the fab sketch site Mojo Monday
