So Long

Oh My Gosh!!! Is it really that long..............so that New Years Resolution didn't last long did it?


I have been creating (not as much as I resolved) just not blogging. So here are my last two cards.


First, an anniversary card using the Stampin' up top note die and Artistic Etchings and En Francais stamps. I cased this card from Jo Dumbleton's fabby blog

I was quite pleased how this turned out. 


Next is the card I made for my gorgeous grandson for his third birthday (three! I can hardly believe it!!!)

1

Made using the Mickey and friends cricut cartridge. He absolutely loved it!


I will try to come back soon with some of my other cards and layouts from the last few months. 

Picture Winter

I joined BPS Picture Winter and so far have managed to keep up. These are my first weeks photo's.

Day 1 resting and relaxing (Lol I went to Bluewater and hit the sales but we did stop for frequent rests)

Day 2 Breath of fresh air 

Day 3 Possibilties

Day 4 A little bit of sunshine

Day 5 Everyday use - something I can't live without!

Day 6 Cracks

Day 7 Quiet beauty

Am now a couple of days behind but am not going to beat myself up about it. I will catch up!

I have exercised every other day so far so that resolution is on track but have failed miserably on the card front but again I can catch up!!!

Lastly for Monica, the Merry Christmas banner I made with Stampin' up paper, my Tim Holtz rosette die and my nesties.

Just to prove I do craft occasionally!!!

Happy New Year

2010 is coming to an end. It's been a dire year with Stu out of work but there is light on the horizon. I've had a lot of fun this year too despite lack of cash.


I wanted to blog my new years resolutions in an attempt to name and shame!!!


Primarily I intend to get off my butt and exercise...........a lot more.
Secondly I want to craft more so I will try to make at least one card a week and blog it!
And thirdly I will try to take more photo's, not a photo a day as I know I'll get bored and give up but plenty through the month and do a monthly review at the end of each month.


I think that's enough without making it too difficult, I don't want to fall at the first hurdle!


I have chosen one little word for the first time ever. I have chosen "achieve" 


I hope you all have a very happy and healthy new year for 2011

UKS Cybercrop

Oh heck!!! I didn't realise it was so long since I've blogged. I've not done a lot of crafting apart from a few Christmassy bits which I will post when they go up.

This weekend was the cybercrop over at UKS. I signed up at the very last moment having completely forgotten about it but still manged to get a few LO's done.


The first was a digi class by Karen which was right up my street.

The rest were all for challenges


                                          Santa Claus is Coming to Town

                                          Frosty the Snowman

                                      
                                          Christmas Wish

Not so keen on the last one. It was done very quickly to fulfil the challenge. I'm quite pleased with the others though.

Not a Scrap of Craft!

I'm back home from a wonderful week in Cornwall. After hearing all sorts of severe weather warning for the South West we were pleased that as usual they had it all wrong and after one dulish day and a morning of rain, we had the most gorgeous week plus of wall to wall sunshine. Who could as for more?


I did a little craft (and found 2 scrapbook shops) but nothing finished to show, so I'll post a few photos from Cornwall instead.

This was our first (dull) day. We revisited old haunts along the North West coast.

Next day the lovely Mullion Cove

and The Lizard

My absolute favourite place - the Minack Theatre

and Porthcurno Bay

and just to prove I was there

and finally a couple from the fantastic Eden Project

Great memories of a fabulous week.
