About me.

Every couple of years I do a scrapbook page about myself. I journal to record what I feel about how my life is and where I hope it is heading. etc etc.. The photo I use is always taken on my birthday. I used butterflies has I say in the wording that I love them. I think they made a nice frame with a colourful, positive feeling.

another challenge

Another Monday another UKS challenge. this time you had to follow a sketch, use yellow and black and alter something and hide something. I hid the story of the photo  behind the snapshot label and I altered the card stock and the smile frame. and yes I used  black and yellow :)   This is not my normal style but its good to try something new. The photo is one I love of my granddaughter Courtney and her Dad Paul my son.
Its been a bad week for me, the exhaust fell off the car, the microwave blew up, the phone played up, the roof leaked. Lots of other niggles and I have been left feeling stressed ! But crafting is a good way to relax so that's what I shall do. relax, craft and look on the bright side!

playing with a die cut

This morning I have been playing with stamps and and diecut. Its a cottage cutz die. There are various pieces and you have to build up the die, and you get a nice Santa in a van!  Colour the pieces and there you have it I rubber stamped the houses and snowflakes and added glitter. well you can't have Christmas cards without glitter! I think it is quite a fun card.
