We were young once
I caught up with some friends on the weekend and they asked me about our photos of when we were young, did I still have them, so the next day I got out the old albums and had a look if there were any more I could work with, as these are pages I had already created
I just wish we had digital cameras back in the good old days I would have so many more pictures and of better quality
Dream and Believe
These are some pages I created a while ago thought I might share. These are my own font I created one day when I was without a computer and a printer and the border panel I did one day as I sat on the phone on the edge of a news paper
The scroll is mine as well some times when you revisit old pages or card you can be re inspired you can forget where you once was as you keep moving forward it pays to look back every now and then.
I have used vellum on the words and scroll
Its getting hot
Took some photos of my garden before the heat gets to it and every thing shrinks and wilts, which probably will be by next weekend as we are heading for a week of over 30 degrees….. summer has begun
fake flowers last longer
Distressed Tilda
This one is on its way:
This card I made for a life time friend of 30 years where did the time go, and its running late for her Birthday so she can get a look before it arrives in the post. I can still remember first meeting her at High School, her school bag was all most as big as her. There are stories about our school days but we want go into that.
It does not matter how far away you are from each other or how often you see each other when you do eventually get together it’s as if time has not moved on, or more wrinkles and grey hair has formed or your kids are grown or now your a granny, you just pick up from last time.
So cheers…….Happy Birthday ………………..Sending lots of Good wishes your way…….
and if she is still talking to me after this post…… lots of more Birthdays ………….growing old non- gracefully
Made from scrap
I am trying to make my pile of scrap cardstock thinner this one just fell together hardly had to cut or trim
the colours are not a very good example and hard to capture the bling
Christmas Tilda
I was visiting blogs a couple of nights ago not sure which one I was on some times you just keep going from one to another I saw this colour combo done with the same Tilda as well I was inspired, so I created my card with the same combo only
I have used Parisian Breeze from the Spring mini and riding hood red card stock as well as the same colour inks, and the snow swirled stamp set
My swaps
This Saturday I will be heading off to Regionals for Stampin Up I am looking forward to it, has been just over a year now since I first joined Tracie and her team, if I was to look back a year ago, thinking can I do this how hard do I have to work at this and what am I going to get out of this.
Answer: A lot- not only do I have a stack of stamps and inks I never thought I would own, I have gained good friends, and knowledge on products that I never even considered using , I now have a Blog never even considered that until I was encouraged by our team, it was the done thing to do. So if you ever are interested in becoming a demonstrator it’s not scary its nothing but positiveness worth considering.
Having reflected here are my cards that I will be swapping at Regionals
They are a little simple for me but as you are making about ten or more it pays to be simple the photo doesn’t pick up the pattern paper or the edging in gold and the bling on the tree
Tilda is arrived at the Web
Very excited Magnolia stamps are at the web now I have purchased two new stamps and are looking forward to stamping them up, so soon I should have some more posts happening have been working on Christmas cards lately trying to get ahead also am thinking about classes aswell.

Well my “things to do list ” are getting smaller
