A Trio of Flowers

On Monday I managed to get the covers of the scrapbook album that I am working on finished.  Now just the journalling to do.  Here's a wee peek at the front cover.  Don't want to post the photos of the pages, just in case my daughter, Sarah, happens to drop by and sees what I have been working on. 

Yesterday was out for coffee with my galpal, Lynn.  Good thing that it was Lynn's turn to pay for the coffee as I had left my purse at home.  Felt a right div!!!!

When I got home worked on one of the cards that I need for the June birthdays.  This one is for my daughters godmother, Rita.

To Have and To Hold

Had a lovely morning with Linda J (aka Pinklilacs), went for tea and cake at our favourite craft shop on the island.  After we were fed and watered had a wee bit of a shop.  I have to say thanks to Linda for her help picking the papers to allow me to finish the scrapbook album project I have been working on.  Fingers crossed by the time I head home to Scotland on Saturday all that will be left to do is the journalling.

When I came home got a wedding card finish for the wedding that Billy and I are going to at the end of the month.

Pretty Flowers

Back on the birthday card trail and working on the June birthdays.  This one is for a close family friend.  I decided I would use the same design on the card that I used on the candles I was decorating to give a the birthday pressie.

For the card I stamped the flower image randomly over a piece of square cardstock and for the candle on a piece of white tissue paper, then coloured all the flowers with watercolour pencils.  Added a bit of bling to each flower with Stickles.

Growing Old is Mandatory .......

This week was the 60th birthday of one of Billy's work colleague's and he asked me to do a card to go along with the gift we had got for him.

For recent gent's birthday cards I have take a shine to using Gus designs that can be found over at Crafts U Print.  The card set for this card is designed by Lisa Baglietto and called Growing Old .... Humourous Gus Step by Step Card.

My Memories Suite - first attempt

Have been itching to play with My Memories Suite since I won the software over at Jak Heath's.  However I have had to keep the itch at bay until I got a largeish project I have been working on finished as much as I can.  So today finally succumbed to the itch and got the software downloaded and started to play. 

My hubby's family have been in the forefront of my mind over the last couple of weeks, with the anniversaries of his mum and dad's death and also what would have been his brother's 62nd birthday.  Instead of a birthday, his family marked the day by scattering his ashes at seas.  Unfortunately we couldn't be there but pay our respects when we are home in the summer.   So with them all so much in my mind I thought I would use some of Billy's old family photos in my first attempt at digital scrapbooking.  Loved the photo of my hubby sucking a lollipop, just typifies him with that cheeky grin.  The other photo is one of Billy, with his mum, dad and brother.

So here's my effort, and though I say it myself, I think it is pretty good.
