Having a ball... er... stick!

Had a ball at the crop on Wednesday, but so much chatting and raucus laughter meant I only got a couple of pages done! Here's one of the two... Using mostly Rose Moka goodies, it's nice to get a bit of brightness to cheer up our dark winter days we seem to have now!! 

New Schemes...

There's a new challenge over at Scrapshemes - the scheme this time was some cool wall art and here's what I created. I used some MOO cards on this and I love the small size and unusual shape!!

The papers and embellishments are all BasicGrey Eva and the centre 'bit' is acetate to give it some support.

Famous in my own household!

While Becks did sterling work on QVC this afternoon, you may have spotted a few of my projects.. including the two most famous Newfies in the UK! I didn't get a chance to watch at work but having watched it back on Sky Plus - the funniest thing was that Martha thoroughly enjoyed it! She recognised herself, Lola and Me!! She barked and licked the screen and generally enjoye two hours of Shopping TV crafting!! Gotta love that Newf!!

Perfect Day...

So these are the very last kickings of the papers from my Studio Calico kit... it was a wonderfully understated collection and was so easy to wok with!

The picture is of my ol' Newfie girls Bella and Chloe - it's an old picture taken at Kimmeridge, a place they both loved!!

Blink and you'll miss it...

Some things are fleeting... you wait the longest time for something and before you get a good look at it it's gone...

It's true of that elusive bird shot... just a couple of frames fired off whle you cross your fingers you've nailed exposure in the contrasty autumn sunshine.

And if you're a Newfie, your dinner and apres-meal chewy is a fleeting experience too... blink and you'll miss it as I wonder if they've been inhaled!

People often (ok always!) comment that they wouldn't fancy feeding a Newfie. But relatively speaking they aren't big eaters... but they can do it fast!

Eating's not the only thing she does fast... for a big dog she's incredibly agile... explosive entry into the water, combined with a single minded pursuit of the elusive stick!

Teeny Tiny...

When it first arrived the teeny tags were my least favourite bit of the September Studio Calico kit. However i've used lots of them now and they are actually growing on me! On this page featuring a 'stick-crazy' Martha, I've used them as a backing to my title.

The border at the top of the page is a Stampin'Up punch which I bought from my lovely friend Jo. It gives you the look of a page torn froma  notebook so is great for a 'shabby chic' look.

I'm seriously getting down to the last dregs of this months Studio Calico kit now, I've got one more page in progress on my desk that I think will more or less wipe it out! It's probably a good thing though as apart from a couple of outstanding DT commitments it's all needing to be packed away for a bit of DIY.... yuk!
