TWISTED

I found a great new challenge website whilst blog hopping this morning, its called Twisted Sketches. I really liked the first sketch so had a go straight away.
The 'twist' was to use some ribbon......

I know there are lots of challenge sites out there but this one really captured my imagination. Will be keeping an eye out in the future........

Reality Strikes

Good Morning Blogland. I seem to be getting very slow at sharing my layouts with you. I did this one days ago but never seem to think of photographing them at the right time. Even now this photo isn't great but you'll get the idea. I used lots of Cherry Hill, including the die cuts which are so cute....
There was no particular story behind the photo I just thought it was cute and went with the papers!

At the moment I seem to have got myself a bit of an addiction to reality TV, I've always liked it but I'm obsessed at the moment! I am, of course, mourning the loss of The Apprentice and the fact that the legend that is Margaret will never raise an eyebrow to a candidate again!

I am also enjoying the start of BB. I never normally watch the first week or two as there always seems too many people and too much screaming but there seems some quite entertaining people this year and I have even found myself laughing on occasion (especially when Cairon was washing Siavash's hair!)

But the best of all is the underdog of the reality shows, The Biggest Loser. It is so addictive, and now its nearing the end I just can't wait to see how everyone will do and who will win. I didn't realise until yesterday that Jodie Prenger (of I'd Do Anything fame,) was the winner of the first series, losing over 46% of her body weight. If this years contestants lose those sorts of numbers I cannot wait to see what they look like at next weeks final. Kevin or Carol to win!!!

Anyway, after a busy day at school yesterday, I plan to have a quiet day today scrapping an catching up with some tv on the laptop.

Enjoy your day whatever you are doing

Nosey Neighbour

A quiet day here, a bit of scrapping and a bit of nosing out the window at our neighbours wedding preparations!! I finally got around to photographing a double LO I did a few days ago. I'd been dying to do something else with those Mr Campy papers. I used photos from a couple of quiz nights on holiday. This is the left hand side...

And the right..... (sorry about the picture quality, this weather doesn't give the best light!)

And both together.....

As practically everyone has spent the week raving about the GoGo Getaway, Lorraine said we could set ourselves a little challenge and she would provide a prize. Me and Jenny decided that we would do a scraplift and include at least two of the following three things, a songtitle, some bling and a new technique. I lifted this funky LO by DT member Karen Cole. Here is mine......

My new technique was a homemade mask which I used to blend inks over for the border, I then spritzed with Cosmic Shimmer Mist for the bling.

Here's a bit of a close up. I'm so pleased with this LO. It took me practically all day which I'm really pleased about as I feel I haven't rushed it and put in lots of detail. I can't wait to see what the others come up with.

Off for my BB fix

GoGoing Nowhere

I didn't realise how long I hadn't blogged for! How lazy of me. I haven't been being lazy, honest. I've been in school, spent a day with a friend, done some scrapping and lots of other things. I did this layout which I love..

I loved this photo of my neice Hannah, she was such a beautiful little girl so I wanted to use lovely bright pretty papers. I used OA Cherry Hill, including the Die Cuts and journalling stickers. I was especially pleased with the bling, I just did it using my bejeweller, who needs expensive Prima bling when you can do your own! Am loving that Cherry Hill dictionary paper.

I don't have much planned for the weekend, apart from cleaning out my car which is so unbelievably disgusting I can't bear it any longer. We had a 40ft conifer cut down in our back garden this week and guess who left their car parked next to the pick up truck full of cut down tree with their sun roof open???! Yes my car is full of sawdust so no more excuses.

I have got some scrapping planned. As one of the unlucky few that can't afford the GoGo Getaway, me and a couple of the girls have done a GoGo Stay At Home challenge so I am gonna get on with that tomorrow. If you are a GoGo girl at home this weekend come on over to the Club House and join us.

Thats all for now

Baked Goods

Thought I'd share some pics of Dad's birthday celebrations yesterday. He is 62 but thinks he's 12 so childrens games were the only thing for it!
Danny....

I think Martyn swallowed his whole!

Photographic proof that Hannah and Nanny were cheating!

And Jon, not getting on to well!! These are definitely scrapping material.

Today we went to the local garden centre for lunch with my lovely Auntie Sue, I love to have a wander with my camera while I'm there. Here are a few flower shots I took. Cute little daisies....

A big sunny sunflower..

Whoops, just realised photo is sideways!! And finally, I just loved the colours on this Iris.....

I love this sunny weather but feel like I can't enjoy it this week. My legs are still bright red, making wearing shorts or skirts rather embarrasing, and now, to add insult to injury, my ankles have swollen up so my feet really do resemble two freshly baked, well risen hot cross buns!

I did have a smile put on my face this evening when my cousin popped round with a present for me, will post a photo of it tomorrow.

Thats all for now
