Friday is the day..........

Big reveal over at SBO - not sure what or why but stay tuned by visiting them here.................... Not sure about you but I love suprises so will be interesting to see what unfolds!

Been creating.......

This layout was one I had been meaning to do for some time, in the photo is paige and her 'darf' also know as Mummys once very expensive pashmina scarf I bought in London which was given to Paige one night when we were going out when she was about 17 months old - it never made it back to me and is now in 4 pieces and a tangled mess but it is her comfort so I don't mind one bit. smile.

This one was inspired by Nic Howard and her album she has been completing for her daughter - it took a little coaching from Paige but now she keeps asking people to ask her how old she is so she can pull this pose.......... truly the daughter of a scrapbooker lol!!!

Busy creating.......

So here is what I created today - I love getting snail mail and also sending it so have started making some little cards and thank you notes to send - as much as I love the internet and email there is something quite exciting still about opening up the letterbox and finding an envelope (which is not a bill, marketing material or the like!!!) and opening it - well at least for me there is! So I challenge you to create a card, big or small and send it snail mail this week just to say hi, thanks or thinking of you and make someone's day a little brighter!!!

So it's been a while...........

Since I have sat down and scrapbooked - I remember Rhonna Farrer once saying that being creative is something she does every day, like flexing a muscle, it's something I aspire to do - I don't mean scrapbook everyday but be creative whether it be writing down something in my journalling book, changing a room in the house around, sketching layout ideas in my head down, or simply reading a scrapook magazine - unfortunately time does not always allow it but I am getting better and it feels GREAT!!!

This layout I completed for the Friday Night Challenge at the Sketch Book - challenge was based around using red, blue, white and stars - it looked a little 'patriotic' so I broke the rules slight and added in the green cardstock which I ran through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots folder (love that folder!!) and there are those American Thickers again!!

Love this layout of Max and his (too small) Blue Hat!!!

Peace
