Busy Busy

I have been creating lately, Here is some of my new work!
The projects are:
Wishing - I used the '12x12 chipboard' clear packaging to make a transparent layout. Everything is Fancy Pants except the half metal frame. Due to my *amazing* photography you can not see but I have actually sewn and painted around the edges of this layout.





















































Stages - This is another transparent layout to make sure I used the full packaging up! I ran some gorgeous fancy pants through my craft robo to make these flowers. Once again, everything is Fancy Pants except for the cardstock and brown flower centres.
















































Family Frame - This is my little side project. I used a souvenir frame that opens up and just layered tons of gorgeous Fancy Pants papers and chipboard. The flowers were just non-branded from a haberdashery and the title hand cut.

Random Random

I have been trying to clean up my garden lately so scrapbooking has been a bit thin on the ground! I shall, however show you come of my latest creations to keep your attention going long enough to see my toad (hopefully!):

"At bedtime we have a kiss, a nose rubs then a love.. then another kiss! Recentely you have started saying "Giz A Kiss" and laughing mischievously. We always laugh."























When we went to Dudley Zoo emily could only say "uck" (Look) and "Owu" (Owl) LOL everytime she saw anything she was amazed "uck! uck!":

























Emilys first birthday:













True Love:
I could think of no better title for a brother and sister like these two :)
























My husband used to be a wrestler and I wanted him to journal in a layout I had made about it so that the children could read about an important and obscure part of their daddys life:


























So, as I said before I have been doing the garden when Lee moved a box and came across this little dude!



















He looks way more scarier in the photograph then I remember! Oh and I found this boy who totally thinks he is a dude!
























Daddy taught us about these crazy triffid plants growing in the garden (That is not a hedge, that IS our garden!!) If you squeeze the bottom then the flower pops off and floats to the ground. Despite my mom telling him they are poisonous he let the kids go crazy with them and I loved their little happy expressions at something so cheap and simple as flower popping (Sounds like an 80's dance).
























As Lee was digging through the soil to sift out the impurities (archaological digging lol) he found a penny and we was laughing how we had found the hidden treasure. I remembered that when I was little I always used to want money that had my birth year on. Whenever I had my 50p pocket money (My friends used to get a fiver!) I would check it in excitement. Did anyone else ever do this?

Memories :)
