The Earth smiles in Flowers

There are some truly beautiful flowers in bloom in our garden at the moment:

And there was a rather adorable one inside the house too!!!!!

Todays crafty achievements and a request for advice on a page...

My fourth page from my GoGo March kit (I'm allllll ready for the April kit now!!) celebrates my first ever ride on Oblivion at Alton Towers.
I'm really happy with the glossy accents on the covered chipboard circles. They pick out our faces in the photo perfectly!

I caught up on the final two pages for my Celebrate Life album with Shimelle's Something from almost nothing course.
The album I've used is an 8x8 one, this isn't a format and I've had mixed results with my pages. Disliking some:

Disappointing chipboard prompt page :0(

And loving some!

My first ever transparency page(s) which I totally adore :0)

And then finally I used this sketch from an old Scrapbook Inspirations mag:

To create this page:

I kind of love the page, but am not sure whether the block of journalling ruins the page. Any thoughts anyone?? It is glued down, but I could glue over it or pull it off and then glue something else there??????????

Newly painted stash drawers!

These now just need some inked pretty paper on the front to be truly lovey!

The weekend starts here!

Finally I'm home. We have just had a yummy curry washed down with my fav cider. The Masters golf is on all weekend, so the OH will be camped out on the sofa! You can just catch the reflection of the tv+golf green in the window!! I'm happy to curl up next to him with my cider and Scrapbook Inspirations Ideas Book- what a blissful Saturday night!

Its just sooooooo awful...

to be at work on such a BEAUTIFUL Saturday!! I am trapped here until 5.30 and I am feeling very very blue!! I have got lots of things to do but nothing that I eally WANT to be doing!!
I wish I could be:

1. out walking in the countryside and taking photos
2. spending the day with my OH doing lovely things together
3. scrapping
4. reading my book
5. at the seaside
6. outside

Oh well, eh!? You have to make the best with what you have, so here I am drinking a yummy smoothie and just catching up while I have a quick break, and then back to the masses of library customers we have today (that was irony!!) If I was working on my own I woudl curl up and read but I'm not, and as the manager I must set a good example - borrrrrring ;0)
Oh well, the WHOLE day off tomorrow to look forward to!! I'm also looking forward to experimenting with my brand new sewing machine when I get home. I have never owned or even used a sewing machine before (blush) so am going to just have a play tonight and then my first project is some quick and simple (ahem - thats the plan anyway!!!) bunting for my kitchen and craft room!

Busy bee all weekend!!

I have had such a WONDERFUL weekend and have made so many pages, I am really happy with myself!!

I went to crop on Saturday and made these while I was there:

This used up my Febrary Go Go kit. Its a photo of mom when she was about 5! I hate not using flowers on my pages so made a few with some paper scraps:

Next I made this page using the crop sketch.
Here is the sketch supplied by Julie:

And here is my page:

I enjoyed using the March kit and the GoGo hybrids on this - its great to have extra alpha options!!

And here is a sneak peak of a mini book I made at crop using up the February Go Go Kit:

And then yesterday I enjoyed a full day in my little crafty shed and here is what I did:

Caught up on Something from Almost Nothing  - the button prompt:

My Document 2010 March pages:

My March Go Go Yearbook March pages:

And finally, as I was in the scrapping zone, I scraplifted the page on the cover of Scrapbook Trends and made this page:

I hope you like them :0)
