Star Book

Morning all,

here are the piccies of the star book i made in the final class at sugar and spice.
I have made a few of these before so i had the idea already. I was a bit dubious about folding the piccies to go in the middle, but i can honestly say i love the outcome.

I would like to thank Nina for showing us how to make all these books, and for running the class for us.

I would also like to wish Janet a fab holiday back home in Aus.











Thanks for looking.

Nesties card

Here is the second card of the morning.
I used a square card blank and cur the large scalloped circle using my nesties and cuttlebig. I then cut the pink circle using nesties and also embossed it using the new tan mat i bought last weekend. (thanks nina & marion for showing me how to do this.)



Cupcake was sent to me, but i think it is one of magnolias, i coloured this using my koh-i-noor pencils added glossy accent to the icing and sprinkled on some glamour dust. The flower is another of the Green Tara ones.

Simple yet effective me thinks :)

Thanks for looking.

Mini clear album

Morning all,
I cant believe i am up ready and crafting already and its only 9:45 on a Sundy morning! lol
Yesterday was a good day i went to Barleylands to Sugar and Spice for my 3rd week of the course off the page. This week we made a mini clear album. We learnt to use archive ink to resist the alcohol inks to give a lovely effect. I love going to Ninas classes, apart from being crazy she has lovely ideas and makes the most beautiful things. Pop over to her blog here and have a look.
Here is my album finished:-





I am actually really pleased with the outcome of this, which makes a change for me...lol

When i got back, i went to Darrens and we popped over the town show over central park in dagenham. It was ok i guess, but in the years i have gone nothing changes, same faces, same crap...lol

Well i am going, as i gonna get back to crafting.

Have a nice day, and thanks for looking.

Bad Hand & new tattoos

Afternoon all,

I have been a very bad blogger i know :( Sorry.

I didnt manage to get any crafting done at all last week as I stayed at Darrens Mum and Dads in Basildon. I was hoping to go out to the shed the weekend but ended up being a bit of a hectic one, so no crafting still. Hopefully tonight.

Saturday started off bad for me, as I was woken to my hand being trodden on. Not deliberatly but still it was very painful, i woke up screaming.

This is the result of that:



The photo doesnt actually show how badly bruised the hand is for some reason. Trust me though it is black blue and purple. Not good. I went to the walk in clinic saturday and had it xrayed as the nurse took one look and said it might be fractured. Fortunatly no broken/fractured bones.

Saturday I also started my 4 week class at Sugar and Spice. This one is called off the page and it is based on mini albums. Nina our teacher is fab, you can see her blog here. There are 3 of us doing the course, Myself, Sharon and Janet. So its nice and small. I forgot to take piccies so will try and get it done tonight.

After the course I went to meet up with Darren as he was having his tattoo done, which does look very good - what you think?


I also managed to get mine done too, I am really pleased with mine, this isnt the best piccie but hey ho...lol



Then sunday I went and gt my nails done nice and pretty :), and in the afternoon we went to Darrens cousins BBQ, which was nice.

Last night we went to the dogs with Darrens family again, again had a good night. Darren won all but one race, i didnt win any :(. Next time i will follow all his bets i think...lol

Hope you are all well.

Thanks for looking.
