Step Cards

While I had some time I put some more cards together.  At our extravaganza the other weekend, Jenny Moors showed us how to make step cards so I used our  stamp set from Jo and  Jenny for birthdays for one and the lovely frog set that Stampin Up did two years ago and haven’t used for ages for the other one.  Cute huh!  Might have to take these again though as it was getting dark and my flash came on… 

HOpe you are having a good week.

52in10 - prompt 6

Aternoon

I am now caught up with the prompt 6 - don’t know how Scrapdolly does it with her full time job and all the other things she does - it takes me all week to do one page!!  But I am loving the challenges she sets each week and sure she has had fun putting them all together, and it is nice to get old photos out.   The only trouble is I spend ages looking through them all again!

You could do one or both of her suggestions this week and I chose Two Peas in a Pod as that is what my twin sister and I are, very appropriate for us this week.  So many of our friends are doing these classes (all free by the way) and it is nice to get together every few weeks and see what we have all accomplished.  The paper for this is Pashmina Bubblebath, something I bought ages ago and have not found a use for it until now.  I am getting very bright, don’t know what is up with me!!  The photos of me and Helen when we were 5 then 14 and also with our Mum and Dad when we were a year old.  We miss our Dad dreadfully as we lost him to cancer three years ago and it is so cathartic to see him in photos on our pages…

Hope you like it.

52 in 10 - No 5

My page for the fifth 52 in 10 prompt finished, I must admit to loving only to have to do one a week but it is taking my til the end of the week to finish them - I am such a slow scrapbooker…

This is quite bright for me too but wanted it to feel a happy page.  All the paper and card are from old stash that I am trying to use, including loads of prima flowers and buttons, and the silver butterfly charms - the photo of Mike and me and our two grown up sons I have scrapped quite a few times but wanted something to go with the bright paper. Orange is a colour I don’t use very often and I like the quotes -

‘This is the ideal life’ - Mark Twain and ‘Where there is great love there are always wishes’  - Willa Cather.

Thanks for looking

Umbrella Anya

Afternoon

Cloudy out now so thought I would get a chance to do a few cards, then my Mum reminded me that while we are away, we have seven family birthdays!! So I have been busy doing some of them, four mens though, sooo hard but love the new stamps set we got at our Extravaganza last weekend with the birthday cake and stand set, can be used for boys or girls, so will come in very handy as I do them this afternoon!

I love this Anya set (beach girl and snow togged girl in the same set) and tried to do it in different colours for me so chose bright red and lime green and I liked it.  I love the umbrella embellishments, everything else is from my stash.

Hope you like it.
