A few bits and bobs...

I'm feeling so lucky to be on Kay Millers creative team because I'm having so much fun with her kits!

(Kay Miler - Lovin' Life digi kit)
(Kay Miller - Barnyard Dance digi kit)
(Kay Miller - Jingle All the Way and Winters Peace digi kits)


More good news is that I'm also working with fabulous kits from the NitWit Collection. I've been playing with Mary Fran's Waddles and Whimsy kit


Trish has been busy designing new kits and I loved the colours of her Mountain Rain kit. It's available soon at Prima Hybrid. You can tell how much I loved this card because I used 36 diamonds for the centres of the flowers!!



I'm still catching up with all my Prima creations, I made these valentine ATCs and the little gift bag with goodies from the online shop, my gallery is here.



Lastly I actually made a digital layout! I know - scary!! I don't think I'll be giving up my paper and glue just yet but it was nice not to have a whole pile of mess to tidy up after I'd finished it and it does seem daft that I have all these digi kits and I don't actually use them to make digi layouts.

Back to the day job...

So, half term is over and I had to go back to work today. It was difficult getting into gear this morning and being up, dressed, fed and in my car to trundle off to school by 8 o'clock. I'll be used to it by Friday I'm sure - just in time for the weekend!!

The batteries in my camera had run down so I couldn't take any photographs of yesterdays creations so here they are.

First up is Clara, the sweetest little bunny dressed in spring colours. She went off in search of a new home yesterday to my cousin's little girl, Gemma. She saw Bella when she visited last week and decided that her life wouldn't be complete if it didn't include a bunny!

This card is for the latest Daring Cardmakers Challenge, to use something see through. I made a card for my Dad's pal's wife who is going into hospital this week to have a mastectomy, just something to show we are thinking of her I made this cute little tag with acetate, my sizzix and my sewing machine. The prima flowers are trapped inside the pocket and I stamped the word 'hello' directly on the acetate
Now that I seem to have re-discovered my scrapping skills I thought I should 'make hay whilst the sun shines' and I did another layout of our trip to Harrogate. By necessity it's a simple layout, just the photographs, title stamped with Making Memories foam stamps and my pixie alphabet stamps.

Working with yesterdays photographs...

I had such a lovely time yesterday when we had our great day out and I think this is my favourite photograph from the day. I like that little honey bee sitting peeping over the top of the flower! I painted the chipboard letters with a tester pot of paint that I bought in B&Q and it's a shimmery, sparkly one. You can't really see the sparkly-ness so I've taken a bit of a close up. I can't really photograph glitter and sparkle very well - anyone have any sure fire ways to take good pictures?
