Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenge #26

I'm back today with a Scrapbook page for Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenge #26 who have a theme of 'Childhood'. I've been trying to do less card making and more scrapbooking lately but all thats happened is that I've done less of everything! When I saw Ella's theme I decided I really should pull my finger out and get something done. I thought this photo of my girls on our recent holiday to the New Forest fitted the challenge perfectly and there was only one choice for the papers - my favourite Basic Grey collection, Archaic. It's one of the few collection packs that I've nearly used up which is strange since I've got girls!

Have a great weekend.

I'm Back!

After rather a longer absence than I anticipated I am at last back with a challenge card and a few other cards I made last weekend while my hubby was away and I had more time to play. I apologise for the naff photography!

My first card is for 3 challenges;
1. Friday Sketchers #122 - Sketch
2. Crafty Catz #52- Child Birthday plus Sparkle
3. Die Cut Dreams #67 - Teady Bear Birthday

And these are 'just because' cards I did at the weekend.

I also managed to do a Christmas card for each of my girls using some stickers and papers I bought last year from QVC and never used!

I also did a few scrapbook pages which I will share with you another day.

Apologies!

Just a quickie to say sorry for not posting for a while. Basically I've not made anything of note for ages (anything I've started recently turns into bin fodder!) so have nothing to show you and also I have only just got my laptop to link up to the internet properly without lots of turning on/off and a fair bit of bad language.

I'm going down to the New Forest in a few days with DH and the girls and I hope to get lots of fab photos so when I get back I can do some scrapbooking and have a little rest from card making, which will hopefully kick-start my creative mojo.

Enjoy the rest of your week, and I'll see you after my jollies!

Pollycraft Flash Your Feebies Part 2!

This is my card for part 2 of Pollycrafts 'Flash your Freebies'. Everyone who entered part 1 was sent this fab turtle digi to use in part 2 with the challenge of being 'green' and for entering part 2 you get to choose another free digi, so I'm going straight over to Pollycraft now to browse.... enjoy your Sunday xxx Carol

Two Challenge Cards

I managed to make two cards yesterday for several challenges but run out of time and energy to get them blogged so luckily my router is working this morning!

The first card is for Stamp Something - Digital, Friday Sketchers #111 - Sketch and Mo's Digital Challenge # 40 - Masculine. I've used a Mo's Digital Pencil image coloured with PMs, paper is K&Co, card is WRMK and Bazzill, sentiment is Papermaniaand finished with a few gems.

The second card is for Colour Create #49 - Warm Pinks, Chocolate and White and Pink Elephant Challenge #76 - Brown. For this one I've used an image from Meljen Designs, as always coloured with PMs. Paper is SEIand card is WRMK and gems are Anitas.

The sun is back out today so I'm off for a potter in the garden! enjoy the rest of the day.  xxx Carol

New Challenge Blog & DT call

Sorry for my lack of posts these last few days but I'm having connection problems. Just changed to a 'better' (ha ha) package and guess what, its not better! It took me about an hour to get on line last night, turning the router on and off and restarting the laptop many times so when I did get on all I did was check my emails then went to bed! Only took about ten minutes this morning so a little better but I think I'll leave the laptop on so I don't have to go throught it all again tonight.

Anyway back to the main reason for my post, I've found a new Challenge blog - The Photo Synthesis Challenge - they've got some fab candy up for grabs for spreading the word and also a DT call.



Enjoy the rest of the day and I might see you later if I manage to get anything created.
