Friend's Birthday

I managed to get into my craft room this afternoon, making the most of a rare day off, getting "stuff" ready for school starting back tomorrow.  I would love to say that I designed this card, but that would be an outright lie.  We made this card (or rather one similar, and much better, in craft class last week, check out www.valentines-crafts.com to see how it's really done!) but I thought it was something different with a lovely gate fold opening so I tried to re-produce it for a friend's birthday tomorrow.  The back (and front) of the card, of course is from my Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge, but in class we used a giant nestie and the patterned paper is from SU.

Thanks for looking x

Holiday - July/August 2012

Apologies for not being on here very much recently, but we've had lots going on, including an amazing holiday to Mauritius where I managed to introduced my 10-year-old to many wonderful water sports, including kayaking, water-skiing, snorkelling and scuba diving.  I was so excited to be able to introduce him to the undersea world as it's been many years since I last scuba dived but am so pleased he loved it and even got very excited when he saw a starfish.

I was very fortunate to be given an amazing waterproof camera by my lovely hubby which I used with great enthusiasm. Hubby and I also celebrated both our birthdays whilst on holiday (they're 5 days apart). I'm hoping to be able to scrap some photos shortly, but in the meantime here is my holiday video.........

I've also managed to complete one LO so far, and here it is.......

Hopefully there'll be more LO's to come and thanks for watching x
