Name that Tune

Hi everyone

Here is my project for our design team The game.  Its Name that tune.  As a child I used to love watching name that tune on the t.v.  So this project brought back a few memories for me which was good.  I have done a card for the challenge.

To make the card I used a keiser craft paperline I cant remember the name though.  I tore little pieces up and layered it over some lace.  Cut a square and drew a musical note which I livened up with some bling.  I added a cameo, an angel charm 3 swallow charms and some mesh bling.  I had fun making this card and I am really pleased with the way it came out. 

Please come over to the blog and join in our challenges you can win a prize and make some new friends and have fun along the way.  We need more players and we all want to see your creativity so come on over and play.

What have I been up too?

Hi everyone

Well what have I been up to lately?  Its been a mixed bag of events for us.  We had a surprise birthday party up by where I used to live and we took the caravan and made a weekend of it.  It was good fun seeing people we hadnt seen in a while and catching up. 

It was Steve's birthday he didn't know a thing about the party it was a good night.

Some close friends of ours got married.  Glen is Scottish so he wore his clan tartan kilt outfit and his best man wore the blackwatch kilt outfit.  Mandy looked so beautiful.  it was indeed a day of oddities though.  They had a beautiful blessing in Glens local area which we helped set up and drive people up as it was up a big hill. 

then on the way to reception we had the bikes involved Rusty rode his new wife on a trike which was led by the vicar (the very vicar that married us) its a long story but they wanted our vicar to help the ceremony with their vicar.  Reverend Fionn Mckentie was up for riding Rusty own bike leading the parade in his full dog collar outfit

Something you don't see everyday hey!

then we had a bike rally and we stayed on for a week and made it our holiday.  We didn't take the bike but used the car as it was too long a journey for me sitting on the back of my hubby.  We went to see The Eden Project and the lost gardens of heligan, Polperro and Charlestown where the tall ships are.  We were lucky with the weather and had a fabulous time that was until I got a phone call saying mum was in hospital after having an epileptic fit.  She is absolutely fine now and recovered but what a drama it all was.

So we have been busy but its all been fun and I though I am nursing a bad cough and cold I am glad of the quiet of home and getting some crafting done.  Watch out for a few you tube video's coming up soon.

The Game Design Team challenge post.

Hi everyone,

Today is a dreary day, so much rain and having to stay in because of the builders (we are having a new bathroom) is tiresome.  I am soooooooooo tired and I cant reach much of my crafting space to do projects on.  Grrrrr.  Still Its time for our design team challenge over on The Game blog.  Please do join us and perhaps join in on a challenge or two.  You can even win a prize if you are lucky.  This challenge was based on the game Hide and Seek.  We had to create an ATC with a hidden compartment.  I made mine slide open so you can write on the inside.  The back was also decorated. 

Hope you like it.  Meanwhile this weekend is bank holiday weekend.  I would be pleased but the weather is awful and the builders want to come bank holiday Monday.  Sigh well at least it will be worth it when its done.  That is what I keep telling myself.  It will too.  THe walk in shower will be wonderful, neither of us use the bath anymore.  I will post photos when its done.  HOpe you all have a great weekend

And the winner is...

My Memories Giveaway.

I am hosting a giveaway.  Yippee.

Whats the giveaway?  Good question.  It's to win a free download of
MY MEMORIES SUITE DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING SOFTWARE this prize is worth over $40.00.

This was my first creation.  I found the navigation easy to follow and it was easy to alter the embellishments on the scrapbook software programme. 

I  have been experimenting with this software and I am very impressed with their scrapbook software.  I have always shyed away from Digital software for scrapbooking in the past.  I have never been good at graphics programmes but once you get the hang of this package it is very easy to use and you can create some wonderful pages with the my memories software.  There is lots of additional help on the Mymemories website.  You can purchase some fabulous digital kits to create your pages with.  They also have free kits which are wonderful too.  They add new kits all the time, I love checking in to see what  they have.  You can also add music and video's to your pages.  Great for when you have family and friends around to show them treasured memories. 

Here is a few links to their blog and facebook page

My annual Tea Party

Hi everyone

Well last Friday the 15th June I had my second annual tea party.  It was such a wonderful day.  15 guests in all.  The day before and the morning of the tea party were frantic.  Mum helped, I dont think I couldnt have done it this year without her help due to some unpleasant going ons that I cant really go into right now.  Once it has calmed down I will tell all.  So we made all the cakes and sandwiches.  I made Scones, Egg custard with raspberries.  A victoria sponge with raspberries and blueberries and fairy cakes.  Mum made an Earl Grey tea loaf and did the sandwiches.  We kind of themed it Red White and Blue for the Jubilee celebrations a week before.  We couldnt have it outside as although it was sunny it was so windy.  Hope you enjoy the photos

I did a drawing for the teapot album I made video is abailable on youtube
