More Bad Girls stuff

First of all the Christmas Memories class by Bonnie


And secondly the wonderful paper xmas tree by Tinasue...I have admired this for a while and now I have my own. The photo doesn't do this any justice because its been so dark and miserable and rainy all day so the light isn't good but I was so desperate to upload it. The little bird is just a xmas decoration altered with a bit of glitter and ribbon. The papers are the festive ones by American Crafts.

Having a lot of fun in the BAD GIRLS Christmas Workshop...



Here are a couple of projects completed today...first of all the class by Anna Louis Bowkis. Really loved doing this although I had to adapt it to make it larger but all in all I am pleased as I managed to scrap a photo from last year...featuring my nephew and step-grandaughter...aw cute! I have become a big fan of these type of flowers in recent months and have used them on many layouts so I was totally in 'my box' as they say.



The other class was a shadowbox by Wendy Rago. Never done anything quite like this before but it was fun and actually turned out better than I thought and indeed it looks better irl than in the photo as well.



Whilst writing I may just put up a peak of the project I am submitting for the 7 gypsies competition over on 'A trip down memory lane'.




I am having such a scrapalicious time right now!!!

A mothers treasure...

Really loved doing this layout from the Scrapping Angels October Kit. I have a passion for layered flowers at the moment...thing is getting the pages into those albums is becoming a task in itself. What do you all do with your scrapbook pages? Do they all go into albums or pizza boxes :lol:

Mini Art Journal

Finally got round to uploading the last few weeks of Emily's challenge. I do keep up with the challenges but always put off uploading them. Here we go -
Week 37 Draw something. I can't draw!!! But did manage a flower :lol:

Week 38 I wonder:

Will my children be happy?

About the worlds future?

Whats old age like?

Whats next?

Just love this little owl stamp which came with this months scrapping angel kit.

Week 39 Someone Speshal - no pics but my friend Sharon is spesh-al. She is always so positive so this card is dedicated to her.

Week 40 - not anymore

The scroll reads ' they used to tell me that I'm not creative but I'm not listening anymore!' I just rolled it up and popped it inside the hollow bead.

And week 41 - magic carpet take me to...outer space...what an adventure that would be?

More uploaded layouts

Thought I would put up some unseen layouts...all the ones I entered the SI scrapbooker of the year with! Never really thought I could win but nevertheless, it was a great challenge and I am a firm believer of 'you gotta be in it to win it'. Having said that I greatly respect the ladies who won and would seriously like to congratulate them!

Have been heavily involved in the birthday celebrations over on UKS. They have been holding a cybercrop over three weekends and for the first two I have had lots of time to commit so have had a lot of fun doing the classes. Here are a few of the layouts completed so far. With thanks to everyone for providing the classes and challenges...'kissing the stone' was a challenge from my fave scrapbooker...Jen Hall...in which she provided a download of doodles for us to use. I got out my chalks and coloured them in plus made a few more of my own doodles to match...great fun!

Plus I notice I have been tagged by Cleo, which is problem cos I don't really know many people who blog. So if anyone fancies being tagged - let me know!

Back from my hols...

Had a lovely time in Skiathos over the past two weeks...plenty of sunshine to recharge the batteries before winter. We went on a boat trip one day and the ocean was full of jelly fish. I also got some good shots of the sunset at Agios Eleni Beach.

Think I may just have to scrap these cos I really like them.

On another note I went to Ally Pally on Sunday for the craft and stamp show...a first for me but definately not a last...just need to make sure we go earlier next time...and take more money!!!!!
