Creative Scrappers sketch 102 - Sandboy

I'm back on a roll now! :) This sketch is from Creative Scrappers. As soon as I saw it I knew what photo I wanted to use. The boy, on the beach, eating sand! Yep! He is defiantely all boy :) LOL. I found the sketch to be perfect to use up my scraps - I still have a mountain... and I did promise pics once a many moon ago didn't I?! (note to self) The scraps are a real mix of DCWV, MME, BG and the ribbon is from the new Smirk range by Dovecraft (a bargain at just 99p for 3 mtrs). I hope you are having a sunshiney day like I am. We are off to the local farm now. Whatever you're doing, enjoy! Kel x

Scrapwhispers - Changes

Another week gone by, and another fantastic challenge is up at Scrapwhispers. This week we want to see your projects on change! How have you changed? Your kids? Your family? Your home? Are you determined to make a change to your lifestyle? What ever it is we want to see it!! There is also a little twist to this challenge. You must use an altered item on your projects, something you've stamped on, something you've covered with pretty paper or painted. Or, like me, I've used a leaflet that came in the post to make the lollipop flower. For my layout I've used October Afternoon papers and a scrap of lemonade paper from BG. The alphas are a mix of thickers and DCWV. We also have a very special guest designer and a fantastic sponser this month with the most amazing prize up for grabs.. Pop on over to see who they are!!! I guarantee there will be lots of oohing and ahhing!! ;)

Cute card Thursday

It seems like I haven't crafted or blogged for ages! It really is so good to have made a card. I always feel a bit lost when I haven't made anything for a while. My problem at the moment is that I have so many ideas and things I am actually doing but that i can't share just yet I can't concentrate on just one thing for too long. So today I've decided to chill out and have a go at some of the challenges out there. The first being Cute Card Thursday. The theme is boyz to men and I always have trouble making mens cards. But here it is. Cool Oakley from Whiff of joy stamps, complete with Basic Grey Origins papers and a couple of buttons to make a masculine card. I'm right into paper piecing at the moment, so I just had to piece Oakley's shirt and trousers using scraps from the Origins paper and a little scrap from the lemonade collection. The rest of him was coloured in using distress ink pads. Thanks for popping by. I'd love to know you've been so I can come and say Hi! Enjoy your weekend! Kel x

Feeling a bit under the weather?

Whiff of Joy have this AMAZING blog candy! These stamps are from the new Get well collection. Just hop on over to the blog, add it to yours and put your name into Mr Linky. How easy is that?

NSBD - Challenge 3

Now its time to dance around the Maypole. For those of you who don't know what this is, Its a pole which has different coloured ribbons coming from it and traditionally people hold the end of a piece of ribbon and dance around, weaving in and out of each other. The challenge for this one is to create a layout using 7 different ribbons. This is my layout based on how I feel about the Boy. He really is just such a little burst of rainbow colour!! So much more than a ray of sunshine. Come and join in the "dance"

NSBD Challenge 2

Next we are visiting the Bric-a-Brac stall. This challenge has been set byt Julie Kirk. She says that a picture paints a thousand words but she is challenging us to record an actual conversation!! How fun is that?? This is one thing I know I should really do more often, especially since DD and the Boy come out with the most funny, cute, adorable sayings and takes on life! This is a little "interview" I did with DD. She actually chose the questions too! Cheater! LOL

NSBD at ScrapWhispers

We are having a May Fayre themed day over at scapwhispers, with lots and lots of fun challenges to keep you very busy for the whole weekend!! Our first challenge takes us to the fortune tellers tent. We want to see your layouts based on the sketch I created: With a twist.. We want to know what you think will happen to you in the future. Could be something happening tomorrow, or next week, or how you see life panning out in 10 years time. Maybe what you want for your kids, grandchildren... This is my layout based on this challenge and my sketch. Que sera sera. I would like to be back at work, have more money, be more healthy and lose a stone by next year. We will see! I made the little flowers with my heart punch, The papers I used are from Graphic 45. Come over and join us. I promise you will have tons of fun at the fayre!!!
