Making albums!

I am still following g and her plan to do lots of creative stuff this month. She taught a class a few months ago in which we made our own albums and I was hooked. I had already dabbled in album making using a bind it all but that was the first time I had stitched in my own pages. Anyway, this is a slight variation on that first album. It is empty at the moment but I intend to change that real soon! Notice the use of yet another packing tape transfer.

My first Banner!

I just played a little and managed to come up with this one. Its taken from the album I made to house my g inspired CJ pages. Hope you like it!

A Cunning Plan...

A few of us gp's are joining g in her plan to use a few photos over the course of the month. The first of these prompts was to scrap a layout using 5 photos. So here is one I made a couple of nights ago but had to wait for all the glossy accents to dry before I could upload it. I have had these papers since last xmas...Cosmo Cricket...very oldy worldy which I love.

I glittered the outline of the snowflake and then glossy accented over it. Also you will see a packing tape transfer, something I have become very fond of since g showed us how it was done.

The next prompt is an album so I think I may go get a head start. Thanks g!

Les Petite dolls

I have been following a class by suzi blu over on ning in which she is teaching us how to draw faces and do mixed media collages. Here is my girl so far...she needs wax though and possibly more layers first. What do you think?

More CJ pages

I have been rather caught up with the Suzi blu class over on Ning so haven't uploaded much here lately. Having said that here is g's page which was penguin shaped and is winging itself all the way to Canada! She loves her garden so I used dried rose petals from mine to decorate the background. Hope she likes it!

I am such a bad blogger!

No excuses really except I had a spate of trips which meant I was always coming from behind and never catching up on here. My 50th birthday came and went with a weekend away, a cruise around the Greek Islands followed by a week in Rome! Had a wonderful time and I am soooo glad we went away cos the weather has been awful here in the UK this summer.

One of my sons has taken off to Hawaii and California to coach football for the summer and returns here on Wednesday, the other son has managed to get all the required grades in his A levels and so will join the Uni community in a couple of weeks and my daughter completed her intercalated degree and so goes back to finish her medical degree this week. Only two more years left Char! So, this means I will have three children at Uni for a whole year! Scarey.

We went to Cardiff for Char's graduation ceremony and I will leave you with this lovely photo of her all gowned up!
