I am embarrassed to say I have been neglecting my little blog of late, but this will make up for it, so be ready for a rather long post, as I have quite a bit to share.
Firstly the Easter Bunny visited yesterday, and left the boys some Choccy.I also was inspired by Mandy over at Scrap Therapy to decorate our family dining table ready for Brekky the next morning.It isn't too flash this year, but next year will definitely be more organised.
So I used my Hula skirt from last years RELAY FOR LIFE and cut it up and made a nest in the middle of the table.It looked quite good and the boys loved it...said it was the best Easter ever!!!
Now onto some creating, here are a bunch of cards I have been doing over the past week.I have been getting people at work interested in buying my cards, so am trying to get a good sized stash together before I go back next week.
This was just a LO I did using the new Cosmo papers..I had these three photos of Steve and wanted to journal about what I wish for him through his life journey.
These next two LO's are for a couple of challenges in last months CC over at SCRAP THERAPY .The one below WALKING with DINOSAURS...i won .It was a sketch challenge and you had to use mostly green with a dash of another colour.I also recycled cardboard on it to make the grass and clouds.
The LO above was created using a photo for inspiration and use embossing on it.I had to scrap this photo, as it is my very favourite place to go camping.I always feel happy and relaxed out there.
Ok ..Congrats if you made it through all that, and I promise to try and update more often from now on.Thanks for visiting, and please say Hi...I love to know you have been visiting me xx Mel
Happy New Year! 2024!
