Pages of a different kind!

I have joined in on a swap,

On the cardmaking and papercraft forum,
its something I have never done before.

Fat book Pages!

Each page is 4inch x 4inch, you have to

leave a space down the left to fix it all together.The theme for this swap is butterflies,

we each make a page for everyone in the swap,

plus one for ourselves.We then get max 20 pages back to make a book.

I just hope my first ever go at these are ok!Butterflies are my favourite so I couldn't say no!

Some more pages

I wanted my children to be reminded of being in the paddling pool

on warm summer days.

I have memories of a washing up bowl of water,

leaving footprints down our path.

Its not every year you get invited to a halloween party,

here is my little pumpkin.
Both my little ones love dressing up,
they had these outfits for Christmas and for
Children in need. Taylor was a pirate for Children in need 2006.

Taylor loves playing at being a fireman!
Thats all for now!

A rough Day!

We have had a little bit of a rough day.

My son as you know if you look at his picture wears glasses.

He had an eye test at school on Friday and failed

( we knew about his weak eye as he is wearing glasses!)

Monday evening I get a phone call asking to make an appointment to the eye department.

I was left worried etc, but thought it would come quick enough, anyway.

We were there for hours, after seeing 3 different people, plus being told he needs new glasses again!

We were told he has a weak left eye!

OK WE KNEW!

They want him to have his glasses for 6 weeks then go back as they do help straighten his eye.... Then we may have to go through patching it.

I know its all in his favour if we work on this and try to help him!

It just seemed like a waste of time and school day to find out what we already know!

How come it was so URGENT?

Magnolia Tilda Challenge # 8 Get well wishes.

Magnolia Tilda Challenge # 8

This week the theme had to be GET WELL Wishes.

I had already worked with Lemon and Lilac,

see below for the sugar nellie challenge.

So It kind of spread into this card too.

I thought the colour combination and the lovely bright Tilda

would make anyone feel better.

Please do leave your comments.

Sugar Nellie Challenge # 5 lilac and lemon

This is my first ever go at doing the Sugar Nellie Challenge.

This is challenge # 5 Lilac and Lemon.

I love this colour combination,

I ended up making two different cards.

The one below has Lola and her flowers.

I used a new ribbon today, that I was keeping!

And my second effort below.

Nellie and her basket of flowers,

I love the background paper so much!

I would love to know what you think of these.
Wow I made some cards,
I have been so busy doing scrapbooks!

Daring card makers challenge

Daring card makers challenge was to use some plastic you would throw away.

Recycled plastic.

I used the plastic off a packet of peel off's,

to make the window and to add the peel off butterfly.

I am not so sure about this card,

I would love to know what you think!

The 4th Scrapbook page that I had to re-do!

I don't know how I did it but I was amazed I had!

I actually put the photo of my son on this page when he first started

reception class. Now it has the right one on it!

Here is my son on his first day at Nursery.

How smart he looks!
