Arty Girlz Challenge - Autumn


This is my Lo for this weeks challenge which is Autumn.


The Photo is of our dog Fimble, when I took her for a walk earlier in the week. I sometimes take her down to Corsham Park, where there is open fields and a large lake. In the summer months sometimes they have people sailing on the lake, and it is very pretty mid autumn when all the trees are going red and the leaves are crispy.

It is also very pretty when it is frosty or when it has snowed.

For the background paper I used some leaf paper that I have from a nature kit and I punched out lots of leaves from 5 different shades of green.

I want to live here!!


This is a Lo that I done last night, it has some great photo's that I took when we went to Torquay on holiday.

Torquay is a fantastic place with lots to do for every one. Shopping, parks, sea, beach, funfair and so much more.
I try to capture as many things as I could for this Lo, but there was so many I would,'t be able to fit them all on one page.

2 New Cards




I have made 2 cards tonight. The first is for my cousin Anne who had her first baby about 3 weeks ago. We are going to see her and baby Alice Elizabeth tomorrow for the first time.
The other card is for my husbands cousins birthday later on in the month. I am pleased with them both, which is good as the other night I made 2 cards and was disappointed with them both.

I think where I had a 3 week break from making cards I had gone a bit rusty....but looks like I am back on track now.

Chloe's 1st Lo


This is a Lo that my daughter Chloe has done. She is 5 years old and she loved this photo of herself and nanny Jane's dog ozzy!


After staying at Jane's last week Chloe has been asking everyday to do some crafting, as nanny Jane had given her a file for keepin some Lo in.

Well today while I was waiting for my shopping to be delivered I helped Chloe choose some papers and a couple of toppers for her LO.


I think she really liked doing this and I'm Sure she will grow up with the crafting bug!!

Arty Girlz Challange - Summer


Hopefully I have got this in on time, for the arty girlz challenge this week. The theme this week is summer.

What a great theme, especially as I havn't long come back from my holiday in Paignton. Unfortunately the weather wasn't hot and sunny and we didn't get to spend any time on the beach. So I dug out this photo of my son and daughter on the beach at Cornwall 2 years ago.


I used some co-ordinating papers and brads from "hot off the press", and a couple of toppers from my craft box.
