Biker Babe


I have made a LO for the blooming pages UKS challenge. I had to add ribbon, 'seen' journaling, team logo or blooms and finally a photo of myself.

I chose to go back in time, when I was little, and loved trying on my dad's motorbike helmet and riding on my bike. I am 2 years old and 4 years old in these photos (long time ago).

I decided to make the title 'Biker babe' using my craft robo and used paper as background from a QVC pack. I really enjoyed this challenge and want to make more now. A bit addictive this scrapbooking lark!

Anyhow back to work today so will catch up with everyone when I can.

new welcare cards

Confirmed Craftaholic

Hi me again,

Here are the last of the cards I made for next Saturdays Welcare fundraising. I know that I am going to be really nervous as this is the first time my cards have gone on sale. I have made commisions for friends and made cards to match for family and friends but this is really different...

I am trying to stop myself from buying up lots of craft stuff at the moment as last month I spent most of my money within the first two weeks. It's like trying to give up chocolate for me, I am sure Debz will confirm this as she has seen me in action at craft fairs/exhibitions.

I will probably succomb and buy something by the end of the day, like the fluffles stamps that I have waited to get, so far. I am a craftaholic and proud of it!

Going to the ball?






Feeling much better now so must have been one of those passing buggy things.

I have passed on my card collection today and totaled to over 40 cards (Housework what housework?). I made a few more last night and will post those here tomorrow!


I have just completed the second challenge from rainbow lady. This is the pink black and one other colour, being white.


It is also two cards rather than one, why do one when you can do two!!!! They are for a friend of mine who needed a card for a teenager going to a prom, so it had to be girly but also quite glam. This is why I went for the pink petticoat lola's boudoir image and pink petticoat his and her collection background on first one, second same image and one of the pink balloon papers from below (my bargain). I used french script as font for 'have a ball'.


Hope she likes it.

Cards and papers


This is my purchase from yesterday absolutely worth it and very useful for the rainbow challenge.... Only £9.99 so big bargain. Hoping to use this for the pink challenge too and hoping to get time to try it today, but not feeling particularly well at the moment, bugs are going round and are attempting to say hello to me.
I realsied I have made 34 cards for welcare overall so they will be delivered to the lady running the stall tomorrow. Hope she thinks they are ok???

Challenge!!!


Here is my first attempt at a challenge. Honestly it was meant to be blue but has become turquoise which is not in the rainbow colours so I hope it is accepted as blue???
I have used a guitar stamp and chalked it to make a blue type background to it. I used blue patterned paper from papermania (the big one) really cheap 200 12 x12 sheets.
I used the craft robo to cut rock and roll title. As you can see it's in my wonky style but I think that's ok.

Too much food!

All I can say is things have got better and are sorting themselves out. I do feel more chilled out now. I do think 'laptop' is a rude word at school!!!! only at school though otherwise I wouldn't be sitting at mine chatting to you all.
Just been at a friends party having a lovely meal and chocolate pudding! Now I feel very very full that to full to move feeling.
I had some very strange conversations with friends of mine. All I can say is I felt the sane one there and that's saying something lol. We did have a laugh and we all noticed our eccentricities that night. All I am saying is I am fighting to make the world curly wurly.
Friends are important to me and having a laugh or making everyone smile even at my own expense is brilliant. It keeps you going through good and hard times, it also makes your time out of or in work that much better. So thank you anyone/everyone who makes me smile or laugh.
I will hopefully be able to share more cards after tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled....
