Yet more LOs!!

I had such fun scrapping after my scrapblock of months I made some more LOs last night - the photos of them arent brilliant as I didnt get a chance to take photos of them until the afternoon light was starting to go! I have carried on with the Sarahs cards june kit and photos from 1996

I'm on a roll

After achieving a LO on photoshop I went on to do another just to make sure it wasnt a fluke! This is my dog Meg last Christmas aged about 18 months. The only reason she sat still and let me put a hat on her and take photos as she was very poorly with an abcess on her neck but we didnt know that at the time!

I have also been doing some scrapbooking with paper and glue and last night made 2. Both were using photos from 1996 and the June monthly kit from Sarahs cards. I must admit I hadnt opened the kit since it arrived in June as I knew I wouldnt be scrapping it then but when I did open it I thought YUK!!!! not my sort of papers at alll but I got going cutting and sticking and in the end loved the selection of papers and embellishments. I finished using the kit up tonight and will post the LOs I have made with them once I have taken photos of them!


This LO of Joe was inspired my a sketch in this months scrapbook magazine

jewellery

I havent been scrapping for a while as I have been doing other crafts most of which are hard to take photos of and get them looking good! I have taken photos of 3 pieces of jewellery I made to night and I intend to photograph other jewellery items I have been making over the past few months and post them on here soon
This mauve bracelet is for a Christmas gift for my mother in law - i hope she likes it!!
This cream pearl bracelet is for my mum as a stocking filler!


This is a broach from a kit bought at Beadscene in Northants

Cards

I have had a spell of making a few cards and have remembered to take pictures of just 3 before sending them off!!! The first used the stamp and card materials from Little CLaire designs a fab site who sell their own rubber stamps - these stamps and materials come from their monthly stamp set - perfect for my mums 70th birthday this week as she collects owl ornaments etc!


This card was made using a sizzix die cut cross and lots of left overs in my scrap box - I dont normally make Easter cards but really enjoyed making them and sending them for Church friends this year



James and I were baptised in March along with 5 other friends and so I made everyone I was being baptised with a card each. The cross is a stampin up stamp embossed in white and using lots of leftover card and paper from my scrap box

Scrapaholix Retreat Class LOs - my LOs

A class I went to led by Mandy - making the ribbon flowers as well as the LO. The photo is of Mathew and his girlfriend Amy on their first valentines together in 2009


A class again led by Mandy - lots of gutting and cutting out swirls but lots of fun! The photo is of my great grand parents arriving at the church for my wedding.



This class was led by Carolyn - I added the gems on after they werent in the class kit! lol. This is another photo from my wedding and is of great grand parents and grandparents with James and me.



Another Mandy Class with more papers suitable for my wedding photos - the photo is of my sister in law who was my chief bridesmaid. The large cream flower was hand made from cream and blue cardstock




My favourite class of the weekend had to be this one - my favourite papers at the moment from BoBunny and making more flowers by hand! Again the papers were just right for another wedding photo!
