Mini House

Today I want to share this super cute mini printer tray house with you. I loved working on this little project. You can find one here: http://www.tando-creative.co.uk/.

Products I used:
Mini house printer tray http://www.tando-creative.co.uk/
Mini Clear stamps from Keizer Krafts, Pearl Beads from Mark Richards. Martha Stewart Punch
Paper from American Crafts, Dear Lizzy 6x6 pad.  The itty bitty button I found on a shopping trip to Sugar and Spice (Barleylands). I found some random metal embellies on my desk and they were a perfect fit! Letter stickers from October Afternoon Mini Market.  I stuck them to white card stock first and then I cut them out before adhering with glossy accents.

Thanks for visiting!

Our Yorkie

Louie is incredibly funny!  I have had lots of pets during my life time, but Louie certainly has a personality like no other! This is my first Yorkie and I am just so impressed by how smart they are.
When I captured Louie licking his lips while waiting to be awarded his treat I knew this photo was going to be one of my favourites of him.

"Louie"


For this LO I used:  Martha Stewart Punch, Basic Grey Basics paper (background), 6x6 Dear Lizzy pad (Amercian Crafts) Chipboard Letters (American Crafts), Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, Basic Grey Clear stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Marker in Worn Lipstick, Papermani Shimmer dots, Elle Studio die cuts, Tim Holtz ticket, washi tape (SMASH) and My Minds Eye Funny Stamps - Happy Days.

Scrap Paper

These two LO's are the result of trying to get through my box of scrap paper (left overs) to create pages.  I have loads and try to do at least one LO from these a week. This is the idea anyway - if it is going to stick, that is another question.

ScrapaGoGo Kit - May

When I received my kit I thought it was just the right paper to close off my 10 year's working in the city by documenting a few pages about my time spent in the corporate world.  Here is one I made today.

"A Tidy Desk"


Thanks for stopping by today!

100 miles in 3.5 days...

Matt and I recently took part in a charity challenge. Together with several others from our running club we hiked the West Highland Way. A gruelling, rocky 100 miles over 3.5 days raising funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

It was hard! Before we left we heard that the recommended time allocated for this is 7 days. The army does it in 5 days.
We completed all of it with only the loss of 4 toe nails for me!  :)
The scenery was absolutely beautiful..
....and we exceeded our Fund raising target!  Happy Days!

Thank you to our friend Paul Chlopas for capturing these amazing moments on camera!
