Saying of the week...

What you lose on the swing you gain on the roundabout.

(not sure what this one means, but I love swings and roundabouts, lol)

Graduation

Another simple layout for Sam's book, first of a set of 4, of her graduation taken back in 2009, (where does the time go?)...


Paper is 'Me & My Big ideas', 'scroll' sizzix die with writing off the computer and used Tim Holtz 'pumice stone' ink round the edge of it. The rosebuds are from my stash and finally 'So Proud' is done with HOTP papers and sizzix 'sunset' dies...

...and you thought that one was simple, now look at this one, hehehe...



Paper is 'scrapbooking machine celebration', then of course Sam's photo which taken by the official photographer as was the photo above. The writing was on white card with the edges done again in Tim Holtz 'pumice stone' ink pad.

Yes, again both simple ones, but I really did enjoy doing them and liked what they turned out like.

The other 2 layouts are of photos taken by us, but will spread them out a bit as not really done any crafting for months, apart from the odd card or two...

Grandchildren fill our hearts with pleasure,
each a joy for us to treasure.

Few cards....

Here are a few cards that I've made...


This one was for my friend Susan, you must visit her blog sometime, she does lovely cards... it was made with paper and ribbon from my stash, the butterflies were made with 3 butterfly peel offs per butterfly finishing off my peel offs dot and stickles over the top to give it bling.


This one was for my mum for Mother's Day... again paper, ribbon and primer flowers from my stash, the embossing folder was a do-crafts one done on coloured core card and the 'sunset' sizzix dies.



and finally this one was for Sue, again another blog worth looking at... I got the bird cage from a making card magazine that my mum gave me, paper, ribbon and black peel offs were all again from my stash.

Good manners getteth much,
Bad manners getteth misery.

Birthday bits....

Thought I would share a slide show of mine and Steven's home made birthday cards, also a my crafty bits I was lucky to have been made/bought for me, oh and my proper 'E' book, lol...

I wish to thank all the people who sent us cards, pressies and birthday wishes, sorry it's a belated thank you, but I've not been too good since....

but am so pleased you can schedule posts on your blog, as I set a load up when I have the time, as it keeps my blog alive when I'm busy, so has come in handy this last month or so... saying that the last 'saying of the week' went out last Saturday, so need to dig out some more, yikes, lets hope I don't repeat myself with them, lol....

Life may be a dull as a cold dinner
but a little laughter makes a tasty sauce
