Wanna see another one?



Hello Everyone....felt the urge to share another scrapbook page..again, slightly older photos, but remember the day like it was yesterday...






The row of trees was printed on vellum.....





My G/son Tyla... he is such a lovely boy, a kind heart..and on this day we were at soccer, and Tyla had a wander over to some old trees and started picking up the leaves...which I have added behind the photo..and they were stored in paper towels and survived with out crumbling.





A close up of that smile..

A very simple page as I wanted the photo to take priority...

Entering in a challenge at Crafty Anns 'memories ar made of this'

See you tomorrow, thanks for dropping in..

Fancy Fold...



Hello Everyone....finished my choccie fish while typing, very tasty, needed the sugar........liar....just needed a choccie fix...lol..

Well, time again for another....

                                                   "FUSSY AND FANCY CHALLENGE"

and this time we are looking for "FANCY FOLDS" ....

Well ,not sure if mine is a fancy fold, but it was way out of my comfort zone...so here goes....


I made a cross over card...



Pull the tag out and you have a lovely sentiment...



There's the pocket with the tag removed...



And there it is with half the tag removed...

The beautiful papers are 'Kaisercraft'..."The Lakehouse collection"..double sided 12x12 "Getaway"..

The reverse side is on the inside of the card...very pretty papers.

Lace from my stash and used a Marianne creatables flower die for the flowers and added crystal beads in the centre.

Not sure where this card will go...maybe just sit on that thought for awhile...

So there you go, a new challenge has started, look forward to seeing what you can all  do with your fancy folds.....cant wait to hop around and say hi!..

Thanks for stopping by...have a wonderful weekend...

The Big Catch!!



Hello Everyone....Another long day...although it went quickly...is that double dutch??

Have a scrapbook page or two to share with you all today...for a challenge at Lexi's creations challenge  and the theme is 'At the beach'..



Uncle Steve with the biggest catch of the day!!



Poor wee boys were screaming with delight...

Of course these pages are from about 4 summers ago, but you get round to scrapping when you can....

So many photos just lying around, so decided to get them scrapped...



There you go, simple layouts, the dolphins are like fuzzy felt embellishents...and the sun is a plaster mould, all coloured up.

Must get more of these done before the pictures become antiques...lol..

Thanks for stopping by for a peak...see you in my morning..

A Bear and a fish

Hello Everyone....another day... Who took yesterday?...the time is going so fast..and 'My Lady' was upset last night when I visisted...she was hurt because someone phoned her and said a few things that she wasn't too happy about..."How dare they when I've only been home for a day"...Oh! dear...I told her she has been home for one week now, and she replied.."Have I"..lol...

Have a card to share for a challenge at Ready Teddy Go   'one for the boys'..



I have used BARRY FISHING from Stampfairy  coloured him with Faber Castell pencils...papers 'Authentique'...'comfort and familiar..great male paper pad...



Close up of Barry, with his inked clouds, and corrugated ripped card and glitter for water, and glossy accents on the fish..and his little hat is a button embellishment and I cut the shank off..



And...the side view...with seabeads and a little fish embellishment...will add sentiment later when I have my instructions..

So there you go, another day is dawning over here in NZ, I'm still sleepy, but must get a move on..
a bit chilly today, but no frost, and that makes me happy...

Big welcome to my new follower, thank you so much for joining me, and will see you all tomorrow..

'My Lady'!!..OH BOY!!

Hello Everyone....well, back with 'My Lady'..and WOW!! has she lost it now...she is such hard work. I have been going three times a day for 4 days, and I'm exhausted...lol..her memory is worse than ever, and maybe this could be a mistake..just quietly, she should be in care again...
Nothing real dangerous, but she does funny things and forgets everything the instant she hears it.

But, I love her to bits, and so glad she is home, and it has  only been 4 days after being "locked up" for 8 weeks..she will need time to adjust...I suppose...maybe...

Anyway, have a card to share....this little image was a win from Bev Rochester,a long time ago, never had the courage to colour her after seeing Bevs colouring.. but...well, here we go.



Sarah Kaye stamp "Puppy Coco"....coloured with Faber Castell pencils...



Close up of image.....


And a side view..

Papers.. Pink Paislee - Butterfly Garden Collection...and a crochet Doilie from Kaisercraft..
some cute wee butterflies and pearls and all done...

Now it is couch time...I'm shattered and it is only 6.30pm..lol...how sad am I ..lol..

Big welcome to 2 new followers, thank you so much for joining me...will see you tomorrow..

How I got it home and a card

Hello Everyone.....How did I shop for all my stuff in such a short time??.....how did I get it all home??..

Well, I had a wish list...whenever I hop around in blogland I write down what I like and what and desperately need....so I took my wishlist with me..in brand order [of course] and went from there..very easy, one stall 8 dies...

My paper pads purchases were all nearly on one table and marked to $5 pad...so I scooped a handful and paid...looked at them all later and not one was a dud!.

I did double up on lace, but they were purchased from the markets by the metre...so were the tiny plaster beach houses...and a few of the tiny things, all from the market...

All the chip board embellies were from one stall...the first stall I went into....they were not on the list..then I settled down and we went from the list till all done [missed out on a few]...then we went for just anything after that....we only had 2 hours...[long story]...

As far as getting it all home...well, I pack very light when I go somewhere, which is not very often...just so I can load up to come home...my home luggage weighed 10kilo more from when I left.


 I have a card to share with you for a challenge at Scraphouse Blog  and using a bingo board..



and I used the middle line....



Love this image from Saturated Canary [freebie ]called 'AVA'...I made the flowers myself and have calluses to prove it..lol..Cheery Lyn leaf swirl, ribbons from my stash, and my first bottle of liquid pearls is open and addictive...love this stuff.



Close up of image, coloured with Faber Castell pencils...sorry my pic's are still hazy, dont know what is up with my camera...



Side view...

Beautiful papers from Kaisercraft, double sided, from the Lake house collection 'Getaway'..

So there you go a few questions answered...

Now can you handle a bit of wonderful news, for me anyway...'My Lady' is home..............

I get to take care of her 7 days a week again...3 times a day....starting Monday..I'm so happy for her, as I went to see her before I went away and she was still saying 'I want to go home'...so with a few choice words in the right ears, they finally made the decision...we won!!

Off to my Dads this morning to pick up some parcels I had delivered there as my neighbours are unsavoury and did not want my stuff delivered here..a Wild Orchid Crafts Win..whoo hoo...
