Fun Glitter Pot Style

Here is a layout I made today. Photo was taken last Saturday at The Glitter Pot where I was teaching a class. All the people that came (apart from Tamsin) are part of a cardmaking forum I belong to, so I was more nervous than usual.

I used the fab font I go today from www.the-lilypad.com and DebF swizzel Sticks and also some papers and stitching from Kirsty Wiseman

If you like digi scrapping check out the link

I have added a link to a blog Digi Scrapping Queen - she does amazing layouts and also designs and sells stuff in her store. I LOVE her style, the way she adds depth to her pieces to really make them look 3d. I got today her fantastic stitched alphabet and I can not wait to use it. If you are on AOL you might have problems loading her store (as I did) so copy and paste the link into internet explorer and it works fine :) We were chatting back and forth a few times today, shes very friendly and helpful.

I wanted to ask you what you thought

As you know I am "into" digi scrapping and I wondered what you thought about it being on this blog? Would you rather me open a new blog for this or are you OK with seeing this also? Please post your comments and thoughts below. I dont want to put other people off with my non stamping/cricuting posts, equally I know we all have like a zillion blogs we check out and I didnt want to add another one to your lists if you are happy to just view both or skip over what doesnt interest you?

Today was one of those "if only" days

You know sometimes you dont know what to do, you have two plans in your head and you go with one. Well today I had that, either go to parents for lunch, or stay in for lunch. I was cooking a casserole, so I decided to stay in and get that done. Thats when "it" happened. You cna see the story below in todays first digi layouts. Of course this is something that I didnt want to have to scrap, not so soon really, of course its inevitable that it would happen one day, somehow, but today was the day. And it was an "if only" moment as I thought if only I had gone to my parents for lunch it wouldnt have happened. I suppose you cant live your life in this mode, things happen, as forrest gump said S**t happens. The end of the day who knows what might have happened had we gone to my parents... Hmmmm Anyway the little loves are both fine, Caiden is showing off his big sticky plaster, Harvey is fine and had learnt a lesson in swing safety. I'll have a guilty story for the mums at school tomorrow and Caiden will be lapping the attention up. It will be a strange page to show them when their older. I'm just waiting for the time the tables are turned and the page is all about how Harveys little brother got his own back!

Here is my second page, its a much happier one!

Digi Scrapping

I've been thinking about digiscrapping. For a number of reasons. 1/ Its easier for me to work on the PC to make layouts with the boys about 2/ I enjoy working with the PC and messing about with graphics 3/ there are so many cool (and many of them free) downloads.

So here is my first try. I used the Kirsty Wiseman (hope I got that right) Free download pack and a trial version of SCRAPBOOK MAX. Its soooooo easy to use. Looks quiet cute eh?




And here is my second and third attempt at it. I think I'll be buying this programme :)

Thanks for looking and if you have any fab links for FREE digiscrapping please let me know :)
