Just the two of us!

Here is the page that we did at Scrap Club last night.  Made using the To The Nines Designer Speciality Card together with some of the Pretties kit, some twill and some stickers I found in my stash!  The photo is of me and hubby well over a year ago, not too bad but then we don't seem to get many pictures of the two of us together.

This page will be available as my first Scrapbook Kit "By Mail" in February, so if you like what you see, watch this space!

I'll be here with a giveaway tomorrow, so make sure you come back to put your name down to win some FREE stash!

Have fun!

The last of my Swap Sale-a-Bration samples

I do love pinks and chocolates together and Amanda did a great job with the On a Pedestal stamp set and the Vintage Label SAB set.  The Polka Dot Background Stamp was also used on the top too and again, I have just mounted the card front on a couple of layers again and made into a "full" card.

My final Swap card was made by Val and I have to admit to NOT liking the Cameo Coral SU colour BUT I have to say that Val may have wond me round - I think using it together with the grey, grounds it a little, if you know what I mean.  Everyone seems to be going potty over this birdcage image too which comes from the Happy Moments SAB set.

I hope you have all had a good weekend.  My three boys (yep and the big one!) are all thoroughly disappointed that yet again football was cancelled this weekend - it's been way too long for them all and they are all getting severe withdrawal symptons.  Let's hope next weeks games are not cancelled!

I've had quite a productive day yesterday.  It's Scrap club tonight so I've been prepping for the class as well as trying to get myself up to date with things.  I cannot believe that I will be leaving for LA LA land on Friday - far too much to do before then! Haircut and colour, pedicure, manicure - you know how it is LOL!

Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow with the layout that we are doing at Scrap club tonight, which you will be pleased to know that I will be doing as the first Scrapbooking Kit "By Mail"!

Enjoy your week,

Stamp With Us Challenge

It's Stamp With Us Challenge Day today over on the blog (www.stampwithus.blogspot.com) and this week was a Sketch Challenge.  Here is the card I made using mostly the Petal Party Kit.  The stamped greeting is from the Oval All set punched out with the Large Oval and Oval Scallop punch.

Why not join in with the challenge?  You can also still sign up for the on-line classes that start on the 31st January too where we always have a great time with the live chats and challenges - it's all good fun!

Why don't you come and Stamp With Us?

Also got the last two Sale-a-Bration swaps to show you too, but they will wait for another day!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

More Sale-a-Bration samples and a New Job for Hubby!

It seemed that Pink Passion and Tempting Turquoise was a popular choice amongst some of the other swappees :)  It also just happens to be the colours used in the Sunny Day Scrappin' Kit too!

I have added a couple of layers to each of these cards to make them into "full" cards again but the centre squares were made by Monica, Julie and Debbie. 

Monica has used the Happy Moments set and watercoloured the image in.  Julie has used the Good Neighbours set and Debbie used the heart from the Love You Much set together with the Whimsical Words greeting.  All gorgeous bright colours!

And on a fabulously happy note, hubby finally got offered a job today after more than six months unemployed (well he was temping but that's not a "proper" job!).  I am sooooo thrilled and relieved for him, it's been very very tough over the last few years but I have a feeling about 2010 and it's a good one.

Keep warm and well,

Sale-a-Bration samples

Remember that I said I was taking part in a Sale-a-Bration swap around Christmas?

Well I had them back the other day and they were great.  It's always good to see what other people do with the same four Sale-a-Bration sets of stamps.

Normally most people do a "card front" rather than a folded card so you can do twice as many with the same card and most of us use them for display boards or in display books, however, this time I wanted mine as cards, so I've added a couple of layers of colours and made mine into cards so they are a little different from when they arrived but only a little :) 

Anyway, above is the lovely Kim Fee's card followed by her downline Steph's card.  Kim has used the Whimsical Words set for her card and Steph has used the Good Neighbours set - aren't they great?

Do you want to get these sets for FREE?

Have a look HERE for how you can get these stamp sets for free.

I'll be back tomorrow with another couple of my swap cards!

Swollen gums and chocolate cake!

Well having struggled into work last week with all the snow, we finally managed to get back to some kind of normality on Monday with the schools being back open and finally being able to get our car out of the driveway.  Hurrah - it lasted two days!

Tuesday was a good day in that I could catch up with a few bits that I hadn't been able to do for the previous week without a car.

Oh and get the heating fixed after a weekend of staying in one room all weekend :)

And drop the computer into PC world.  To get fixed.  Because of course, it's one week out of warranty!

And then it snowed again :(!

And then Ethan's cheek started swelling....

So I stayed home yesterday and rang the dentist.

They were closed!

So I rang the doctors.

They were closed!

Arrggghhhh!

So the only thing for it was - make and eat chocolate cake!

So we did - with smarties and chocolate stars!

Today is a better day.

Still Ethan and I are at home but been to the dentist.

Tooth fixed.

Antibiotics got!

Wii game rented.

And peace :)

Keep well and warm,

Okay, this is the first ever video that I've put on a computer, edited (badly as you can tell from the title :) ) and put on my blog.  I can't work out to have a picture here instead of the link either but I'll work on that!


Today I got my 11th Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration order so unless I get another 11 orders in the next 3 and a half hours that will be it for the prize draw.


Here is a video showing you the winners, if you've entered the draw be sure to watch it :) and come back to me with your requests.


Congratulations everyone!
