Race 4 Life

Here is the page that I did for this weeks challenge on UKScrappers.

The requirements were to scrap an achievement, 4 of something, journalling in a circle and stitching. I cheated a bit on the stitching as I used rub ons ;o)

The piccie is of my mum, sister, niece and moi when we completed the Race for Life last year. I can't believe that it will be a year next month since we completed it. Looking at this piccie, my sister has lost so much weight - even her youngest son noticed when he saw this page yesterday.

I love the new Doodlebug papers especially the pink ones LOL

I'm on a roll !!!

... well kind of :o)

After 2 weeks of nothing, I've finally done some crafting today and blimey oh' riley it was actually scrapbooking. Will have to sit down to recover from the shock. Another couple of pages for my sister's 40th scrapbook :)



All the piccies are of my niece from when she was a week old to last year when she turned 15 (going on 35!!!).

Thank you has to go to Kerrie for providing the sketch (thanks hun xxx)

Competition cards

It's been a while since I did a crafty post :o)

Here's 3 cards that I made for a competition. The theme was pink and you got extra points if you used a brad, peel off and vellum.

I couldn't find any vellum (probably gave it to my cousin's daughter)

I'm loving green at the mo

I never used to like green but, just lately, I seem to be making more and more cards with green.

I've just realised that both cards have Cuttlebug embossing on them LOL




I used sketches from Ismaki and My Paper World

Lots of pink

Is there a better colour ??? :o)

Both of these cards are for my cousin. I know I'm biased but she really is the best.

She became a proud nanny on Boxing Day when her son's girlfriend had a little girl. She already has 2 grandsons (one of them is a regular on the Paul O'Grady show) but she now can buy loads of pink for Nicole.

I used Beate's Weekend Sketch #35 for this one.



This is my first Sugar Nellie card - isn't she cute!!! I thought I'd better make a card with her as I've ordered some of the lovely new ones from Funky Kits. Can't wait to get home from work as they might be waiting for me.

What no Penny Black's???

My cousin's daughter was 12 today (Happy Birthday Emily). I know that she's opened her card as her grandad has emailed me to say that she loved it. Seemed to get really stuck with this one as I didn't want to be samey so tried to avoid using Penny Black stamps LOL. She's also a card maker ;o)

A few cards

Here are some of the cards that I've made/sent recently to my fab internet buddies.

Swap Cards

I've just finished running a swap on a fab forum, so I thought I'd show the cards that I did for it.

Flowers


Spring

Bling


Ribbons

Sisters other card

This one is from my mum and dad. In reality it's pinker, greener and bigger ;o) Oh well, it is a scan and I no longer have the card (it was her birthday yesterday) so it's probably as good as it's going to get. It will just teach me to finish the card in time so that I can take a photo in daylight.



It's been made using all my favourite craft companies - Penny Black (the new Spring 2008 stamps are gorgeous!) and Heidi Swapp for the stamps. The flower is a Prima Sprite -which I just love. I used my Cuttlebug Harmony alpha for "Daughter" and I've even managed to have a bit of Doodlebug on it with the Sugar Coated white brad in the centre of the flower. The funny thing is that I can't remember where I got the paper from !!!
