This was another of my recent cutsie cards- perfect for one of Emma's little pals! I'm running out of these one though and have starting doing lots of layouts-so the scraps are coming in very handy! I was lucky enough to win a prize from Jen at Wear crafts! ( thank you Jen!!) on the UKS blog hop, so have been playing a plenty this week! Watch this space!

What a FAB day!! I saw my first Banksy in London today! We went to Regents park Zoo and I took several "scrappable" photos including this lovely....
on my phone! I am a bit of a fish geek, truth be known. So this was a blissful thing, getting a close up of a beautiful but formidable fish( told you I was a geek!!) We saw lots of fantastic animals, street art and I came home with an enormous bouquet of flowers that somebody threw out in a bin bag. I'm also a bit of a womble- making good use of the things that I find. But hey, who's going to say no to an armful of lilies, lysanthus and orchids???!! Will check back soon with some creativity soon-but enjoying ,my Easter time of for now!! TFL xx
Can you believe where the time goes?? April already! And I'm still blogging!! Did you get a chance to visit IACW?? Fifteen posts in 3 days and a new DT member on each day!! It was a hectic weekend of blog posts but we did it. I haven't had a chance to do anything much this week but do intend to clear up my craft room and create a few bits! If you didn't get a chance to visit- please do, the projects the girls came up with are beautiful as ever!
This is the template I use for the greetings on my cards- feel free to use it you like. It's not saved as a pdf or anything but hopefully you can save it and print. TFL xx

This used to be my favourite dress as a child! should have been a child the present years- much nicer fashions!! Highlight of my last 24 hrs? Winning 2 bids on ebay for slice cards! Going to busy I think!! :-)
A big thank you to MA on Ukscrappers for mentioning the return of IACW! (And for mentioning my rabbit hutch tutorial below!) We have some new ladies joining the IACW team- from across the pond!! So keep an eye out for their lovely work!!
Hi there! I've had a busy week trying to get these core'dinations projects together. They are having a design team call and it was an opportunity I cannot miss! Bit of a squeeze on time as I've worked four days and still managed to feed the gang and do some domestic goddess stuff!
First thing I've put together is a birthday card for a 2 year old girl.( Saving it for later this year!)
I've sanded the number two from a stencil and then cut around the edge.I've used two shades
of core'dinations and an embossed white which has been inked over. Simple but sweet I think!
|Next up is a layout of my lovely little Emma on her 1st birthday. Ive made the roses from two shades of core'dinations. Once the edges are inked and sanded they have a lovely stressed battered look. One of it's biggest plus point's for me. Unfortunately I lost the light so will have to try for a better layout shot tomorrow.
Finally- my Easter gift box in the form of a Easter Bunny hutch. It's for Andrew and there's a Easter chick-en coop for Emma!
I have also made my first tutorial to watch- eek!! Have a look and feel free to comment. Constructive criticism welcome but be gentle!
Funnily enough, after using my slightly suspect file's for sanding in the tutorial, I found this and had to treat myself. A proper tool!!
So there you are- my submissions. I think my strength is in the scrapbooking and card's equally. I loved doing all these projects because the beauty of this card stock is it is a blank canvas. You can sand and distress and emboss and make it into a unique patterned paper- or you can go bare and just enjoy the colour. It's got no limits with style or colour- it's there to do whatever you want it to!!
I hope you like what I've done- thanks for looking!!
I had this photo and layout sitting waiting to be a scrapped for yeeeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrrsssss! Seriously! About 4! It's been at the bottom of a pile and I've never got round to finishing it. who could resist it though? A three year old with a mouthful of mud- no wonder boys have the rats and snails rhyme! Hence the title mud sticks! Nowadays the nine year old is much more choosy on what he eats! Any faddy eaters your end??
On a bloggy note I feel like a new look- I keep look at the thing to change your template but there are things like about my old style. Watch this space I guess! Lau xx
