Well the easter weekend was a wash out as far as the weather was concerned, was I down hearted? No....my friend came for a Crafty Weekend and we stamped, glued, glittered, drank tea and chatted having a lovely time.....

I used the Indigo Blu flitter glue for the first time WOW.........

here is a sample using Stampin Up stamps, chalk inks for the flower I did the reeds with the flitter glu and which stuck the gold leaf on perfectly

My friend made this card.......

the stamp is from Indigo Blu, it has fantastic detail and looks brilliant

I am on a roll......another for the album

Well finally the finished pages...............

I can already see how I could have done this differently so I must be learning. 

The picture of my sister taking one last look back as a singleton has to be my favorite and although 9 years have passed since that day I still remember her excitment thinking about how her life was about to change

March 17th                       CROP........................

I joined a group of Scrapbookers for their monthly get together at Felixstowe

It was a really good day with lots of chat, scrapping and tea drinking, I managed to get started on a double page for my sisters wedding album........

.........the day really got me going on Scrapbooking and I'm looking forward to the next crop.

Have a look at Sunday Scrappers on Create & Craft for some good tips - last week they talked about using layers to make pictures really pop (wish I'd heard that before sticking it down!!)

It's been a while since I have had time to update my pics - here is a very simple but I think effective card. The stamp from a from Stampin Up set. Stamped onto Kraft Cardstock and smaller pieces of scrap white card stock to compliment the colours of the background card. A very quick card but I think a good result.

King Tut

My nephew loves anything to do with Eygpt, when I sent him this card.......

........ he was delighted
