Another crafty day arrives and here is what I've been playing with this week. It is my MIL's birthday at the weekend and I promised her photo's of our niece's Wedding this year. As usual I do everything last minute! Thought I'd make a word chip board book and use my new pink bind it all, an early Christmas present! I have used the Rusty Pickle papers "Princess Bride".
Just a quick card for my cousin who had a wee loon recently.
Happy Halloween "trick or treat"!
Here's my new addition this year decorations using Heidi Grace Halloween papers. My boy's are so excited about tonight's plans and have been winding themselves up all week. Pumpkins were duly carved last night and costumes sorted. They wanted to be Black Ninjas which is going to be really affective in the dark!! Isn't that why Ninjas wear black and balaclavas? Better go and sort goodie bags and cookies out.....plus I'm demo'ing at Papercraft's Boutique tomorrow so better find out what I'm going to do.
I expressed an interest at having a go at waterfall cards to Karen at Papercraft's Boutique in Elgin to which she said she had just the thing. Here's my attempt.

Give it a go too.
I've got a question for all you crafter's out there....are you bad at sending your own handmade cards?
It was my parents Wedding Anniversary last week and that's me just made a card, how bad is that? Still I enjoyed doing something a bit different and having just come back from touring around Europe...I thought I'd give it a European theme.
Now having spent all day yesterday crafting do you think it would be cheeky to finish work I started?
Better try and get some jobs done first.....and catch up with my boys who are having a whale of a time with the new Lego Batman game on the Wii as we speak.
Whey hey what a great day I've had, first a crop at Fraserburgh and then a crafting group in Elgin. My idea of heaven!
Here is the LO that I have done for the week 4 September challenge on UKS, set by Ruby snippers. The challenge was to use some scraps, a pic of someone sleeping, a heart and stamped image. I have to admit to using big scraps but only because I had recently used this paper to make some cards and this was what I had left over. As for the wee man, he'd had a very tiring day over new year, and although you can see his gun in is holster ready for an imminent attack, tiredness got to him first and he slept where he collapsed! Great challenge, I really enjoyed this one.
Morning
One of my team mates on UKS is hosting a cup card swap for Christmas....so I thought why not join in. I don't usually get involved in swaps just because I don't always have the time or you could say I'm lazy on an evening, whatever you prefer. Anyway I've now spoilt the surprise for all in my group by showing what I've done. I have sent my orange muffin recipe, as they seem to be a favourite when made. I was going to do them on bright orange papers, as I thought no one else would use ORANGE! But then re thought and have gone Christmassie instead, after all it is a Christmas cupcake swap. I do hope the other girls in my group like them and can't wait to see what I'll get back soon.
