UKS challenge, May week 2

Here is my page for this week’s challenge at UK Scrappers. We were asked by The Scrappy Cats to use the sketch, include at least five different patterned papers and at least five lines of journalling. All done!

Hello from sunny Cornwall again. And it really is sunny here though the forecast shows the weather deteriorating as the week goes on. Hey ho.

Anyway, no desk to show you this week as we’ve only just arrived and my scrapping and sewing bags are yet to be unpacked so, I thought you might like to see why we keep getting drawn back to this beautiful part of England. This is the view from our hotel window! Jealous eh?

If you want to see what our fellow crafters really do have on their desks then pop over to Julia’s blog to join in the party.

UKS May week 1 Challenge

Here’s my page for this week’s challenge at UK Scrappers set by The Scrap Happy team. We were challenged to use the sketch and scrap a masculine page with flowers and an inking technique. I coloured the wood veneer stars with SU Pumpkin Pie ink spot though I’m not sure if that counts as an inking technique. I’ve used the May kit from Creative Craft World.

Octopode birthday card

Just a quick post to share with you the card I made for our used to be a Goth niece whose birthday it is tomorrow. I don’t think she reads my blog. If I show you the book she has written you’ll understand the theme of the card!

I used two Lily Chivers digi images from The Octopode Factory.

Wednesday again and you’re here wanting a snoop at my desk, I guess? Well, the reason I’m late in checking in again is because I hot footed over to Home Sense in Chichester as I heard a rumour there were stash bargains to be had unfortunately I made the mistake of going with Michael and am still mourning over what I left behind there. Anyway, amongst the debris that is fondly known as my tip desk are the three things I did manage to get away with without the ‘You’ve already got one of those’ comment an American Crafts 12x12 D-ring album for £7, a pack of AC primary colour 12x12 cardstock for £9.99 and a DCWV Collage Musings stack for £7.99.

Good eh?

OK I’m off to sign in at Julia’s and while I’m there I’ll visit some workdesks.

CCW May Scrap Map

The new scrap map challenge is launched at Creative Craft World. I liked the sketch so much I used it twice!
OK I admit it, in a senior moment I completely forgot I’d already done my page.








 













I hope you’ll pop over to CCW and join in the prize challenge.

WOYWW 204

Good morning and happy Wednesday from sunny Cornwall! We’re here for a week’s holiday, and unusually, I only have a little scrapping with me as I’m busy doing the hand quilting bit of Leo’s quilt … so that’s what I have to show you today.

I am rather proud of it as it’s my first ever quilt! Marilyn and I have been to classes at The Eternal Maker in Chichester and I think we are pretty much hooked :o) Just one more class and the binding to do and it’s finished.

I was quite amused at the class that all the other ladies had chosen pretty autumnal chintzy fabrics … mine did stand out a little LOL.

OK I’m off to Julia’s blog to join in the linky party. Hope to see you there.
