Brrrrr......

Well last week it was really hot - t-shirt weather, people saying it was like summer, smells of BBQ's fast forward 4 days and we have SNOW!!! What?? It is absolutely freezing, I got up this morning to a blizzard and I was out this evening and car was kidding all over the place - yikes! I should point out that I hate snow, don't get me wrong it is very pretty and if you are inside, all cosy and warm and don't have to go out in it - no problem, but it is just so annoying and this country grinds to a halt every time!

Last Few Pages

Here are the last few pages, my pocket pages and envelopes. My sections were Inspired, Sketched, I included some graph paper and ordinary copy paper in this section, next was Jotted, for any notes, etc next was Quoted and last of all was Saved which had the pocket pages and envelopes for any receipts, tickets etc

More pages from Smash Book

Here are the next few pages .....

After seeing the new Smash Books, I decided to have a go at making one myself, and found a really good video on youtube, it is by no means perfect and my binding leaves a lot to be desired but I thought I would share a few piccies anyway lol

Shimelle's sketch of the week

I decided to take part again this week , it is a great sketch. I thought I would use it as an opportunity to use up some really old stash lol!!

Sketchy Thursdays

I decided that as I was on a bit of a roll to take part in the April GDT challenge on Sketchy Thurdays blog. I have used last months Studio Calico kit for this one.

Sketch

I came across Shimelle's latest sketch and decided to play along, it is a photo of Millie the day she got her ballet outfit, she was delighted to say the least!!

New Card

Made a new card for the Daring Cardmaker challenge, this is the first time I have taken part so please be gentle - lol. The challenge was to use hearts somewhere in your card.

Materials used are Making Memories papers and a Tilly stamp, whichis coloured with my Promarkers and a small sentiment stamp.
