Family Roots

Fran has some blog candy up for grabs...it's to make something, other than a bog standard card using a stamped image. At the moment, I'm desperately trying to make a book for my Sister's 50th birthday and I've finally got around to making the actual book and cover. The inside will have photos of Gt Grandparents, Grandparents, etc., so thought I would enter the book as it is at the moment.


I've used 8" x 8" covers and pages and put the book together with my Bind It All. The paper is from K & Co., and the stamped images are Magnolia's Tilda with a watering can and the winter tree. These have been coloured with watercolours and Brushables. The flowers are from Poppicrafts and the brads, metal "Family" label and sticky "Roots" letters are from my stash.

I love making books and have made quite a few recently, however, now have to do the inside of this one - 20+ pages!!!

Off out again today, but hope to load something else later.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...

I've Been Busy!!!

It's funny what happens to me when I lose my internet connection so I can't do any blogging.........I end up doing some crafting!!!! Well that's what happened yesterday afternoon and evening....my internet connection kept flicking on and off probably due to all the bad weather we experienced. Not quite so windy today but the rain is continuous! I actually finished my Easter Egg bags yesterday whoo hoo!!! Well, I say finished, I've got three more to put together but I have coloured the label and everything but I need to go to Asda and buy some more creme eggs and I'm not going anywhere today because I'm due a parcel delivery....hopefully, my camera! I hope you're ready for these photos....I was just going to put one picture on but thought hey, I had to suffer making them, they should suffer looking at them!!! The photos aren't very good I'm afraid and I'm proud to say that not one chocolate egg was harmed during the making of these bags......in ot...
