Hello!

Hiya!
Sorry I have been MIA since February- had some major health issues which went on for weeks and ended up with me having an emergency gall bladder removal at the end of March!
All very weird having never been in hospital except to have our three babies and I ended up there for almost three weeks!
Had great service form the amazing nurses, doctors and surgeons at the John Radcliffe hosp in Oxford!

It took quite a few weeks to recover from being ill and then to recover from the operation so my mojo has been sadly lacking all these months. However I had a wonderful birthday present from my pal Ginger who gave me a set of Spectrum Noir pencils! How wonderful is she?! So to celebrate I had my first play with my pencils....

I used the beautiful Victoria & Otto stamp by Brian Kesinger from Viva Las Vegastamps!
I've decided to enter my first card into the VLVS July Challenge which is a nature theme- as you can see Victoria and Otto are reading in the garden surrounded by roses!

Happy Crafting everyone it's nice to be back in the land of the living!

Book Scrapping!

Been playing with some yummy papers from Kaisercraft and Prima and the lovely embellies from Studio Calico!

Here's me on my new love- my bike- doing it Miss Marple style!!

Bombshells Think Pink!

 It's time for the monthly challenge from our guest DT for October, Paula!!
Paula's challenge is in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is of course this month. She's challenging everyone to THINK PINK: to use the color PINK somewhere on your project. Your project can have a breast cancer theme, but it doesn’t have to. Just be sure to use PINK.

My card was just a little one as I wanted to use the Rose and Banner stamp from Rose's Portrait set.
I used:
Prima Printery 6x6 papers
Spellbinders Label 22
Distress Ink
Spectrum Noir pens
Seam Binding
Distress Rock Candy Stickles

Hope you enjoy my card now if you want to see all the other wonderful creations pop along to the Bombshell Blog!
If you get a chance why not playing along with us in our Think Pink challenge and you could win some cool Bombshell goodies!!

Recording the work!

So as you know I've had a quilting Bee in my bonnet this year - excuse the quilting humour there, anyway...I decided to record the quilts in my scrapbooking as a reminder of the work, fun and reception they have had!

This is my daughter, her quilt and as ever a Beagle!!! Whenever a quilt appears, magically so does one of the Beagles!

Paper is the gorgeous Webster's Pages with some Tim Holtz Sizzix dies and a bit o' glitter!

The Layout for my Son's quilt was naturally less fluffy mostly due to the face he pulls in the photo!

Papers are Prima, Webster's Pages and Cosmo Cricket tags with a Bombshell Stamp Skull!

So don't forget to use your scrapbooking to record all your crafting endeavours it's part of the journey after all!

Happy Crafting!
