Ally Pally

Yesterday was the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking show at Alexandra Palace.  I'm a regular visitor to these shows and I love them.  As you can see from the piccies I spent a few pennies.....but I'm worth it lol.  One of my new interests is the Smash Book.  I have the pink one which I have started, but thought I would treat myself to the blue one and Aimee has got the red one.  We can't wait to get started!!

At last....

Where doesn the time go? I didn't realise that it had been over 2 months since I last updated my blog. I have decided that as one of my new years resolutions that I must start to keep it up to date even if it is only once a week.

Christmas was a nightmare for me as I managed to get chicken pox just before Christmas, so there are no photo's of spotty me on the special day. My Husband came down with flu on new years eve and now my daughter is off school with her share of chicken pox. We will soon be able to remove that black cross from our front door.

Given all this time at home, I have managed to do some card making. Here are some of the examples.

Mixed media mirror

I had a fantastic day on Sunday when I attended a workshop at http://www.itscraftingtime.com/index.htm . The very talented Jennie from http://www.theartisticstamper.com/ ran the workshop where we attempted several different techniques to complete a gorgeous mirror frame. I learnt so much at the workshop and met some fantastic people. Here is my finished mirror.

More quick cards

This time the cards are very quick makes. I love these stamped images and have coloured them in using my promarkers.

It's been a long time

It's been months since I last posted on my blog. I've been busy crafting, but always forget to take piccies and post them on here. I've been making Christmas cards recently as I always leave them to the last minute and this I thought I would be organised. Here are just a few of the cards i have made using up old stash.

Meadowlark

Yesterday was our annual village fete. This year was a very special year as Aimee was an attendant to Miss Meadowlark. This meant a beautiful dress, tiara and a ride in a horse and carriage. My pre-school won the junior float section with Oliver Twist and my Mum was on the winning adult float as the scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz.

Wedding card

I was asked by a friend to make a wedding card for her sister who is getting married in Jamaica next month. One stipulation was that there was the Jamaican flag on the card. Here is what I come up with.
