Love Elsie!


I knew I would.... but it deseves to be said anyway! I love 'Love Elsie'! I'd only had my bits for about 10 minutes before I started this page, I acually thought this would be the last of the papers I would use, although I love it, travel isn't really my thing, but surprisingly it was the first! Thanks Elsie and KI memories!

Typical Bank Holiday!

Well true to form a lovely wet bank holiday as usual! However it did just clear up enough to get out in the garden with my lovely new Canon 50mm f1.8 lens - best 60quid I've ever spent! This is one of the first I took of Martha, she's getting so big now and looks rather grown up!

Spotted...

We have a lot of newts... so many I think the frogs feel a bit out of place! I rarely ever see a frog in the garden but in the last few days I've seen quite a lot of this little guy! So after I got home from work I shot a few frames of him. He sat motionless for ages so he clearly wasn't bothered!

Pic of the day!


Just a nice pic and my contribution to the Funky Photo Friday blog is this Dandilion clock. I only managed a couple of frames before Martha munched it!

Funky Photo Friday

I'm looking forward to the photo challenges on the Funky Photo Friday blog. The first challenge is flowers, so weather allowing i'm hopingto get a nice shot or two. That's if Martha doesn't get to the flowers first!

Resistance is futile!

I resisted for a while, but I eventually caved!

One Little Word

It's not a secret that I like a good challenge, so the launch of the new One Little Word blog, is rather exciting! Inspired by Ali Edwards each challenge will revolve around just one word. I created this page last night with a rather cute picture of Martha and Lola.

Spot obsessed....

I've finally had to admit i'm obsessed with spotty papers. There was a time not very long ago that i wouldn't have touched them with a barge pole, but now it seems to be my first choice. Here's another example! This is my page for the UKS May Week 3 challenge, also continuing my personal crusade to bring back metal rimmed tags! Check out the Scrapping Frenzy blog for more on this!

Monday!

Had a really productive weekend, particularly loving my new Bampop! stamps. Lola continues to amaze with her total resiliance! She's convinced that 3 weeks is more than enough recuperating after serious orthpaedic surgery and now thinks i'm just being mean for not taking her out! Here's a few pages from the weekend....

Rainy Days



Depressing rainy day here, not helped by a jobsworth bank teller locking the bank door dead on the dot of 5pm! However life is a bit sunnier because of this fun page created for a challenge on Shimelle's blog. The big heart is a Heidi Swapp giant ghost heart shape - I adore these! The page features baby Martha enjoying her very festive squeeky ball! Definately her favourite at the moment! But then she is a Christmas baby so shouldn't be a surprise! She's getting so huge, she's only just gone 4 months and already weighs 70lb!


The second challenge went up today on the A True Friend Challenge blog, some fantastically inspiring pages... and mine! My page is yet another 6x12 page.. I may be becoming a tad obsessed with this size! It also features something that had become rather rare to be seen on one of my pages - a metal rimmed tag! I'm making it my personal crusade to bring these back!!
