Peachy!

I made this maze book for a very dear friend of ours and a special friend of my youngest daughter. Peachy is just a bundle of fun and the girls love it when she comes and visits. I used the new Panama Jack papers from Rusty Pickle, which by the way are perfect for lazy summer pictures!

October Sketch Challenge

Well I had the most amazing time at the Great Big Craft Extravaganza spreading the DO Crafts love and tomorrow I am off to another demo in Dobbies. I need to scan in the projects as shown in the snippets as I realised I had only taken snippets!

So instead I am going to post my take on the sketch, which was designed by Sarah Carrington, for the Rusty Pickle October Challenge. We had to scrap our favourite 'dish'. Pop on over to the blog and see the sketch and have a go yourself, if you enter RP are offering a prize pack! Woo!
I decided to scrap a favourite relish that I enjoy with my christmas dinner!

Products : Papers are RP Grinchmas, Swirlie Whirlie Chipboard,White Christmas Alphabet, Buttons and Heat it up snowflake tinsel.

Great Big Craft Extravaganza

Is this weekend in Athlone, Ireland!

I am heading over to demo for Do Crafts with the latest products. The Christmas Carol linen papers are perfect for dressing up your cards but I decided to use them on 'non' christmas layouts too.
I have been playing with the Forever Friends Christmas range too and the images are just so cute that I can't wait till christmas comes .... which will be on us before we know!

I am really looking forward to going as Ireland was our home for 10 years. It is such a beautiful place and the people are so friendly and boy!, do the crafting women know how to have a good 'craic'! (which is have a jolly good time to us Brits!)

Before I head back to my packing I thought I would share some wee snippets of what I will be creating at my demo table! :

Hope to see you there, for more information on the Great Big Craft Extravaganza please visit the webiste {HERE}

Have a Great day xx

Blown Away!

Seriously I am! Thank you to all who took part in the blog hop and for all who left comments on about my wee album, it really made me smile reading them all! I have been to random and it's choosen the winner of my blog candy and all will be revealed at the end of this post!

I wanted to post this layout of my two DD's back in the early summer when we went out for a walk and found a pond that was filled with tadpoles! They giggled at the way the tadpoles wiggled around and just loved catching them!I used Rusty Pickles Under the Stars and Game Time papers, Costume Party Alphabet Stickers, Understars coupons, quickutz silhouette for the frog and the butterfly.

I am really enjoying using more than one photo on a layout and am lucky that my epson prints a nice size with ease!!

Congratulations Denise, please email me your address so I can get this picklelicious stuff off to you!

Started Hopping with RP & Blog Candy!!!

Hello and welcome to all you blog hoppers who have hopped over from the Rusty Pickle blog and also to anyone else who is passing by today!

This weekend is filled with loads of Rusty Pickle goodness from the chefs and a little birdie told me that there maybe some wee treats up for grabs!

My Rusty Pickle creation is a mini book which I made for a raffle being held at our Inspire event at church this evening, so I have left spaces for the photos. The money raised will go towards Breast Cancer Research hence why I choose Rusty Pickle's Fair Verona collection for the soft pink touch. For the album base I used a corrugated square album which is great for adding a really distressed feel to your pages by ripping off the top layer leaving a rippled surface. I then applied acrylic paint to these pages using baby wipes. I used glimmer mist to add some sparkle to the pages and also a chipboard shape which after spraying glimmer mist on left an imprint on a page. Here are some images of the inside of the album

If at any point in the blog hop you hop off course for a wee bit don't forget that you can always head back to the Rusty Pickle blog and follow the trail of creations again!

Now before I send you on your way I think it would be rude not to offer up some Picklelicious blog candy for all you European Pickle Fans!! Yipppeee! This pack contains the RP items I used for the Always album, though instead of Fair Verona it is filled with Chocolate Covered Cherries.

RAK contains : 8 Sheets of Double Sided Chocolate Covered Cherries Paper, CCC Tag Set, CCC Trims, CCC Button Mix, Rusty Pickle Jottin' It Down Stamp Set, Corrugated Album

So just leave a comment below before midnight (GMT) on Sunday and you will be in with a chance of winning!! One winner will be picked randomly and I will post here on Monday, so do check back cause I may need your address ;)

I shall bid you farewell and send you on your way to the next blog which belongs to the talented Sarah Carrington, who will share some of her work to inspire you!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the Rusty Pickle blog hop!

The only way to find out is to check it out.

For you first time “hoppers” this is how it will work. You will start at the Rusty Pickle Blog and "hop" across visiting a series of blogs where each will link to the next “stop”. Each Chef will post a Rusty Pickle creation to share for inspiration and link to what Blog you should visit next. Sound like fun?

Drop!

Phew! How busy have I been but it is all good and TBH I work well when I am busy. The autumn months are aways busy for Hubby and I with heaps of planning, celebrating and adventures!

At the beginning of this month the Rusty Pickle Sketch Challenge went live on the RP blog and it was all about FUN! I used a picture that my SIL took of DH and I on 'The Drop' down at Hayling Island .... now this was scary fun and a whole heap or a least one very loud swear word shouted from my lips! Don't think I'll be doing it again!

Yesterday I became a working mum and joined the hosts of business people at Edinburgh airport travelling to meetings, work and for me a wee project which is all I can say for now! The airport was hustling and I had not had my morning coffee so I plodded in but within two seconds of walking through the door I was hit by what can only be discribed as pure grossness! EW! Do men REALLY need to bath in aftershave! Blah! It was SO strong I had to refrain from barfing every where! And on top of that I could see no sexy male model in jeans with no top on because that is what aftershave is about isn't it!??!!! LMAO!

Oh JO are you there??? I still need your addy to send you the Rusty Pickle goodness you one in a few posts below!

Have a great day!
