More LOTV Birthday Cards.

Hi. Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. Been busy with crafting projects and just everyday life! Anyway, here are the last few Birthday cards for January. All using images from the LOTV art pads (now discontinued, unfortunately!) I loved making the shaker card and you will definitely be seeing more of these over the next few months - although I think in my next ones I will be adding more sequins!! I hope you like them.
 Thanks for stopping by.

LOTV Birthday Cards.

Hi. I'm back today to share 3 more Birthday cards I've made. January really is a busy month for me, and I still have a couple more Birthday cards to make. Then it will be onto Valentines Day!!! 
All 3 images are from the LOTV art pads, and the circular sentiments are also from LOTV.  The circle heart die is from Sue Wilsons range and the corner die by La-La Land Crafts. The little flowers are from a punch, but unfortunately I don't know who the candle die is made by. 
I hope you like them. Thanks for stopping by.

Project Life.

Hi. As promised I'm back today to share my very first weeks page from my 52 week project. The photos are taken on both my mobile phone and my bridge camera. The layout was put together using the Project Life app. Rather pleased with how this first page has turned out, and I am already working on week two! 
Thanks for stopping by.

Happy New Year!

Hi. Happy New Year to you all!! I know we're already through the first week, but I have been busy with a new project :-))
 Firstly, I'd like to share a card I made for my Mum to give my Dad for his Birthday which is next week. I spent most of Monday getting it made, as I see my parents every Tuesday so wanted to take it with me then so that Mum would have it ready for next week. Unfortunately with rushing about getting ready for work and making sure the boys had everything for their return back to school that day, I totally forgot to pick up the card, so my rush to get it made wasn't needed in the end! Anyway I am pleased with the way it turned out. 
I used a LOTV image from one of the art pads. The heart tag is Magnolia Doohickeys and the Happy Birthday is Spellbinders.





Now onto my new project....
I have been thinking for a while about doing a 365 day photo project, but thought I probably wouldn't manage to take a photo everyday! After lots of searching on the internet I decided on a 52 week project. I came across Project Life by Becky Higgins and bought the Project Life app on my iPad. I have been playing around with it this last week and have completed my cover page and my first weeks photo page. Today I will just share with you the cover page, but if you would like to pop back tomorrow I will share the first photo page then. I realise that through this project quite a few of the photos will be taken with my mobile phone or iPad - but even after this first week it has made me look at things differently knowing that I want to get a good selection of pictures each week. Hopefully by the end of this year my photography will be much improved, as it is one hobby I seem to have neglected recently.
