It's been a tough couple of weeks at work...

Been busy trying to get the shop look amazing for the regional store managers meeting - the biggest visit we have me thinks!!!

It meant a lot of hard graft getting the windows dressed in extreme circumstances, and dressing the store!!!

Living display...

Oooooo and look what was waiting for me when I got home :D

Happy Easter :D

Happy Easter :D

This is a LO of me and Paul at my nieces wedding - these are normally the out take pics as Paul is known for pulling faces, but i decided this was a normal pic haha :D

Plus the other one was horrible of me LOL

I used recycled printed acetate from a chrimbo prezzie - Boots No7 :D and all the bits of ribbon were samples I was sent when I ordered some lace.

Ooooo I'm all excited too- I have just ordered a new camera :D

It's a Fuji S1500 10MP Bridge Camera from QVC which i am sure will take lots of getting used too haha :D

Proud Parents

I'm just loving vintage grungey looks at the mo :D
This is another pic of my nieces wedding of her and my sis and bro-in-law.
And look.... not only did I cut the gorgeous paper, I crumpled it and inked it too :o
Gotta love Prima :D

First of my scrapblog photo LO's :D

Well this is tonights work, I couldn't sleep last night and this was one of the thinks on my mind LOL

I used Prima Angelique papers, which I lurve and have been trying to use for a while!!
It's just so hard to cut in to something so pretty LOL

Swings are fun!!!

It looks as though Jess needs a little convincing about this LOL

Todays efforts

This is my niece on her wedding morning :) love this pic
- BUT... I also love the dressing table which was an M&S gift card that they gave me frr of charge :D I went and asked what was the min you could put on a card, they were goingto try and put 10p on for me but when I went back they told me to just take it!!!
It's gorgeous!!















Cute eh :D

Action shots!!!

Just gotta love this pooch :D look at the size of that flippin tongue!!!
DH took him for a good run about and this is the result hahaha :D

I had forgotten DH had taken the shots below last summer on his phone - he has a multi burst shot function on his phone :D How funny :D

Have to scrap some of these :D

:D ..... not sure what I love more? Scrapblog or phone, Scrapblog or phone??

Well we went to the first meeting of the speedway season last night (took my niece who was visiting from London) - I think I am still frozen stiff now!!

And I want my hour back :( how rude is that?? Pinching an hour of my day :(

We are off for an indian tonight :D so that should warm me through a little.

Ready to scrap

I thought I would alter my pics on www.scrapblog.com and have them printed ready to scrap.
Thought this was a fab way of embellishing them without messing with stamps, overlays etc.. and all the elements I used were free - now we all like freebies LOL.
So, above is a typical pic of me and Paul, haven't got many without him sticking his tonue out!!

This is my nieces photo shoot...


My mum and Jess...



Me at Solfest last year...

Us at Solfest last year...

Can't wait to see what they are like when they are printed :D
I have also printed my digi LO's - thought they would be nice to put in a little album to carry round with me, and if they look nice I might get some printed larger :D

Love'n',hugs

Woohoo - look at my pwitty new phone :D

Now thats a scrapbookers phone :D

Ok, it's not a new phone, but it has had a makeover :D
I have always wanted a girly phone, but have to have a good spec phone, and girly ones are ussually rubbish quality!!

Now I have the best of both worlds :D
hmmmm wonder if Paul wwould let me do the laptop to match??? LOL

well I'm truly addicted....

...to scrapblog :D

No Cheating!!!!!! as you can see I didn't LOL - how did my hair end up so messed up???

Been busy...
