She's baaaaack!

She Who Must Not Be Named moved out at the end of October to go travelling for 3 months. Honestly i was dreading those three months without her...but i have a wonderful new flatmate, i've kept myself occupied and we managed to keep in touch via e-mail and skype, so i managed not to completely lose the plot without her around. However, i'm thrilled she's back on British turf and am looking forward to having her closer and excited to cause mischief and mayhem together again. Life is so much more fun with my bestie at my side. It did feel like a piece of me was missing with her gone.

i've mentioned before that she does not like to have her picture taken and i will probably get in trouble for posting this layout, but i had fun with it and it's not very often i get to scrapbook her, so i'm pushing my luck ;) Lot's of Studio Calico and Crate Paper here and did you notice some stamping again? Really trying to get more use from my stamps & ink & loving it. 

TMC February Challenge

This month's challenge over at the Truly Madly Crafty Blog is to use Ribbon & Bling. i am not really a blingy scrapbooker so this challenge stumped me at first. Then when i was riffling through my ribbon jar i came across my sequin strands and i knew they had to be used! i kept this page pretty simple because that Sassafras paper is so pretty.

Supplies: Paper, Alpha stickers, Flowers: Sasaafras Lass, Journalling card: Elle's Studio, Other: Ribbon & Sequins

There was an overwhelming response to our last challenge, i wish i could stop by everybody's blog and leave a comment, but i just don't have the time (there were over 460 entries!). But if you did take part, thank-you so much for playing along! 

Pyjama Day

Last Sunday i tweeted that i was planning on staying in my pyjamas all day and scrapbooking. i don't think i ever got such an overwhelming response to a tweet! It seems that a lot of my followers think that's a perfect way to spend the day. Now, it's not every week that i get to spend my Sunday in such a lazy manner, but if i do get the opportunity to indulge then i take it. This all led me to thinking that i should make a page about it.

Supplies: Tags: Elles Studio, Stamps, Buttons, Veneer Banner, Garland: MME, Paper: October Afternoon, Pebbles, Alpha Stickers: Pebbles, Tag: Amy Tangerine, Ink: JBS Date Stamp: K&Co Other: Pearl stickers

This is mostly the Salvaged add-on from Studio Calico with some Elle's Studio tags and MME Kraft Fun Day mixed in.  i'm really enjoying playing with bits and pieces on my pages lately and i'm still obsessed with that kraft garland from MME. i'm trying to actually use my stamps more too. i hope you are having a happy Sunday, be it a pyjama day or not! 

TMC February Kit

This month's kit over at Truly Madly Crafty is full of the Love Me line from MME & lot's of lovely Elle's Studio products. Love is such a universal theme i didn't have any trouble coming up with ideas for this kit. And there are some really pretty papers from MME that will fit any project, it's a really versatile line.

This is my sister and her boyfriend, they are a perfect match. We're lucky she found such a great guy to share her life with and be a part of our family. i went to town cutting our hearts for this layout so i could show off that lovely MME paper. You can check out my other projects on the TMC blog and i'll also have a tutorial up over there tomorrow.
