Yay Challenge 1!

The first challenge for LYPLYP is to use a photograph that makes you smile. I just had to use our Susie, as when we were away in our caravan she was so tired that she just took her self of to bed. Later on in the night when I checked on her I was surprised to find that she had company. You will see what I mean Aww Bless!

Stickers

Prompt 6 on Shimelle's Class is to use stickers as many as you can. Well my response to this one is that I probably have enough stickers to open a couple of craft shops all on there own lol. I loved this prompt and below is my page of Susie dog, is she not lovable? Anyway I have used Urban Window collection - Boho chic fancy free, Karen Foster Design stickers and many more stickers, in fact I used 12 stickers in all. I am so looking forward to tomorrow's prompt.

To sew or not to sew

That is the question. Only joking I am not going to recite a play or anything don't worry. What it is, I got a major present for Christmas last year my hearts desire a sewing machine. It is gorgeous, I love it. My wonderful fantastic crafty friend Clair gave me a tutorial. Thanks Clair pop over to her blog Obstinate Pursuit as she is planning on doing some fantastic tutorials on all sorts very shortly. The only thing is I have not used it yet as I have not been able to, much to my regret. So my wonderful Giz brought it into our bedroom and put it on our dressing table tonight and I am sitting looking at it. So the reason I am thinking to sew or not to sew is because Something from Nothing has asked us to think about reinventing page protectors. You know those plastic sea through cases that we all use to protect our master pieces of work. So with this in mind, my mind is swimming with what I am going to do, so watch this space.

Sunday Challenge

Sundays challenge over at Something from Nothing is to use ten brads, ten papers, ten buttons etc; so here is mine.
I am also using this for my entrance for my friend Lesley over at Craftswap

By Chance

We found this place buy chance last year, and just loved it. Whilst driving around I saw a sign for a Country Park, and I said lets just go and see. I am so glad we did and we will definitely be going back there. There was so many different animals all roaming around and free. I have used a metal frame that I forgot I had and I love the look it just sets of the page correctly. I thought I would use this one for the Friday challenge as we were asked to use metal, cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon on the same project???

Oodles of Eyelets and brads

I thought these colours just cried out for brads, my nephew was so excited and it shows.

I love this picture of my niece as she look so Angelic just like her !

Just look at the this cheeky little chap. This is the view from the kitchen window, and I swear he new I was there and watching him.

Prompt one of Something from Nothing is to use eyelets, Brads, and metal words. I have so many of these, I did have them all in colour order and very regimental, that was until this class and then I realised that I was not using them as much as I should so I took a leaf out of Shimmelle's book and put them all together in jars, one for brads and one for eyelets. Doing this I must admit I think I will use them more using them in this way.

Abundant Stash

Ok for day one of Something from almost Nothing I have taken some pictures of my abundant stash what do you think? Do you think I need some help?. I have boxes, shelves, baskets, drawers, hangers, you name it all full of lovely lovely supplies.

New Class

Ok, I know I can not be the only one, lets be honest. How many of you out their have crafting supplies for England. I know I do. Are you like me just buy that lovely piece of paper or that specific coloured ribbon just because you like it and you have to have it, as it will come in useful eventually. So I have to say thank you Shimmelle just what I need an excuse to use as much of my supplies so I can of course buy more. Only joking ! or am I ?
