Home Sweet Home

I'm back home, I've had a lovely week housesitting, even though I have done lots of nice things this week I have had a lot more time to just relax so am feeling nicely rested. I've been very crafty (but not so much that I am crafted out!)

Made this tag using up some scraps, I think Cosmo Early Bird was my fave range of 2009. I absolutely love how well the heat embossed butterfly turned out.
Just before I went away I recieved an order from Sarah's Cards of the fab new Cosmo collection 'Material Girl.' I've been wanting to scrap this photo of my Dad for a while cos I just find it so funny and I thought that these papers had a cool retro feel to them that would suit it just right. I used the Sarahs Cards sketch for this one....

My Dad is the one with the big beard and perm, he has considerably less hair these days! I added little blobs of glossy accents on top of the JB letter stickers for a bit of texture.

I knew as soon as the papers arrived that I had to do a LO about my cousin Chloe's sense of style! She is only 2 but always knows exactly what she wants to wear, she has been known to wear a skirt over pajamas to bed and her twin brothers fleecy trousers under a dress!!

I went to a charity shop and picked up an old pattern to cut up and use cos I think there is something so tactile about the tissue paper that they cut patterns from. It was a little embarrassing buying it as it was a pattern for a vest, pants, bra and nightie!!!

Last weekend was my cousin Mollie's 2nd bday party, I took loads of photos but 2 year olds don't tend to stand still for long enough so they weren't that great but I printed them on my pogo and used lots on one layout....

I stamped and embossed with my Polka Dot background to do a resist technique using my paint sprays.

I have a few more things to show you but didn't wanna overload you so will be back soon!
