Stuck on flowers - and shabby chic....

Oh I just love Shabby Chic - love the look of it and the colours and oh just everything. All my purchases lately have been really pretty girlie papers and that's why I made myself work on the black, red and kraft LO last week. Here I am again, posting more butterflies and flowers - so will have to finish the Spring colours LO on my desk and move on from pinks!!!

My friend had a birthday - so here is the card that I made her...



She reads my blog and really liked the butterfly frame that I made, so I did one for her, this time I used the Papermania Rose Garden paper pack cover for the buttefiles - so no cutting into real papers for this. The cardstock offcuts were from a baby book that I am making - so no waste at all here!

My DD was invited to a fancy dress party - where most of thea girls were ballerina's. princesses and other girlie personalities - My Shannon wanted to be Buzz Lightyear! She was the only Buzz there so she was delighted and it did not bother her in the least that all the others were princesses. Just got her some new Easter clothes and she was adament that she was not wearing anything "pretty", and she just about agreed to wear black jeans and a minnie mouse t-shirt and sweat shirt.


I spent last night running around a dark park with a torch and being artistic director while my friend Anna drew pictures with a torch in the dark - I know I am a bit mad, and Anna thought I was mad too!! The photos are funny, and are for my photography club competition.



Tonight will be spent printing and mounting the photos, and I might get a moment to finish the baby book that I have been working on for ages, my BIA machine ate some of the pages so I will have RTFM (Read the flipping manual!) as it just took far longer than it should have to do a really simple job!

Right - lot's to do and little time to do it!!
