The Book of Flowers










When I saw this black flower shaped mini book from Carolinezcraftz I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! I love black and white combined with a splash of colour and I think it showcases the photos of the flowers that are in bloom in my garden at the moment beautifully. I used a chipboard tag book for the centres of the flower pages and a little flower tag book for some extra pics just to add some interest.

Our House Mini Book












Used one of the new plasma mini books from Carolinezcraftz to make this. Some lovely Daisy D's papers and tags and a BG magnet for the closure. I have filled it with photos of our house and garden now that it is all finished and looking pretty. I will be able to take this away with me when I am off on my travels again as reminder of home.

Framed Jigsaw from Swap pieces

Some people may remember me posting pics of the different jigsaw pieces I did for a swap, well this is my finished version now I have all my pieces back on the theme of Time. It is framed and on the wall of my scraproom and I love it. A unique piece of art made from individual pieces.

The Gucci Girls...

When Chris came home on leave after being in Saudi for 3 months he brought me back a present. It turned out to be a black leather case with Gucci sunglasses in - very swish indeed! Not that I am a suspicious or anything but I had to ask if these were the real thing? He admitted they cost 70 Riyalls (about a fiver in proper money) and then it came out that he had asked a work colleague to pick them up for him at the local petrol station!! Hmmmm...

My Mum came over for a visit a couple of weeks ago and on a beautiful sunny day we spent in the garden, I decided we should get the "Gucci" sunglasses out and see if we could perfect 'the look'.... you know the one... where women wear them on top of their head like an Alice band, instead of actually as sunglasses? Mum and I had some laughs with 'the look' so I made a little chipboard tag book with the photos.

Mission Impossible Box



Which was aptly named! Made this for a class on the UKS cybercrop. It was definitely a challenge but I already have another planned! This version will be used for photos of my son's graduation, May Ball pics and family grad pics. I still have 2 books to complete to go in the drawers.
