Scrap & Music Challenge 19

Hello There,

With new products in hand I decided to play along with the Scrap & Music challenge, plus I love the song that has been chosen, Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran.  Here is the sketch:


 
And here is my page:
 

  



 I used vellum on this page which I stamped on and coloured in with markers.  The photos are from our Honeymoon we were at Emerald Lake in Canada.

May the crafting force be with you.

The Arrival of Thomas

Hello There,

One of my dear friends and her lovely partner, welcomed their beautiful baby boy into this world on Sunday 12 January 2014, they named him Thomas.  Obviously I had to make a suitable card so I went looking for a challenge to partake in and found the My Time to Craft challenge of make an easel card.  Easel cards are not something I have made a lot of so I thought I would give it a go as I wanted the card to be special. So here is my easel card:

I made this card for a friend (male) for his birthday, the road is washi tape, just one of the many rolls that my darling husband gave me for Christmas.
 
 
I look forward to seeing your creations using the above colours at Perfectly Rustics.
 
 
May the crafting force be with you!

This one of my favourite photos from our wedding day.  I don't know about you but I dread scrapping favourite photos just in case it does not work out properly but I took the plunge with this photo and I am so happy with the way that it has come together.  I used washi tape to make the flower, I just love washi tape, so versatile.
 
Happy Crafting and may the crafting force be with you!

Owen

Hello There,

Thought I would share a few recent photos of our little man, Owen.

 
Getting a sweet kiss from my beautiful little man.

 
Kicking back on the couch, watching the movie of the moment 'Polar Express'

 
Seeking refuge on his trike from the overly friendly ducks at the Country Club Resort when we went to feed them on Saturday.

 
Here are the ducks, they liked to snatch the food bag out of your hands!  I put the food in my hands and we counted to three then I would open my hand and let the ducks hoover the food of my hand, Owen thought this was very funny indeed.

 
Owen having some fun with stickers!

 
My Auntie Avril, who lives in Scotland, sent Owen the First Fire Station Duplo set for Christmas so we built a massive structure using this one and other sets.  Owen and I had great fun building this structure.

 
Where's the fire at?

 
Sheer concentration as he drives the fire truck!
 
Thanks for stopping by and may the crafting force be with you.

First Card of 2014

Hello There,

Thought I would show you the first card that I made in 2014,  I took inspiration for this card from the awesome work of Heather Telford.  I wanted to make a thank you for a dear friend of mine so I thought I would use Heathers work as inspiration.  Here is the card.



 
 
I did the inside of the card as well.
 
Happy Crafting!
