My 400th Post!!!!!!!!

Whoo hoo, this is my 400th post.

My blogoversary is in about 30 days, that will be four years.

So I'm averaging 100 posts a year - not too bad.

I remembered when I started the blog, what will I write about???

I have made so many blogging friends over

 the 4 years, from all over the world.

What a wonderful world blogland is....

Even when we are struggling to get used to

the new Blogger Template "@#*!%#*

So, to my 400th post - Sketch # 203 from

Creative Scrappers....

The sketch....

I have used the Bo Bunny "Country Garden" Collection - beautiful....

The title is from the Combo Stickers in the collection....

Some netting under the title die....

The butterfly is cut from the papers and a wee bit

of Stickles to his body for sparkle....



All the flowers are Prima....



The wee fence is a Memory Box die "Rounded Fence"....

The leaves are Spellbinders "Foliage" die....

The rhinestones are Kaiser Deep Yellow

and the ribbon and lace are from my stash....

Photo of my beautiful Granddaughters

to be added (when I take it...LOL)

Latest news on the arrival of our worldly goods

is that they have to be delivered to us on 4th May - yay!!!!!

And daughter and I are leaving for a few days in London on that date....Typical.

Darling husband will have to deal with it all.

So, I will be returning from London to all my scrapping stash - life is good....

Be back again soon

Love & Hugs

Sketchbook 365 - May Sketch

Hello everyone, I have found a new sketch challenge blog over at Sketchbook 365.

This is my interpretation of their first blog based sketch....

The sketch is based on a layout by Morag Cutts....

The papers I have used are the stunning

"Nature Garden" collection

by Prima...





The flowers are Prima Vinetta Nature garden....



The two journaling cards are from the

Nature Garden Notecards....





The girl stamp is also Prima....

I have used the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page

Large set "Wild Flowers"

around the large photo mat,

 to which I will later add two photo's....

The butterfly stamp is by Kaiser "Botanical"....

And a wee bit of ribbon from my stash....

I love this layout, and had fun putting it together,

 thanks to the great sketch that got me started.

Thanks for popping by,

til next time....

SOUS Sketch # 79

Hi everyone, here I am with my interpretation of the latest sketch over at Stuck On U Sketches.....

The sketch, by guest designer, Debbie Burns.....

I have used the stunning collection "Serenity" from Bo Bunny.....

The only other thing I have used is Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eighteen....

And lots of distressing....

While I had the collection on my desk, I went on to make another layout....

Nothing else added....

Again, lots of distressing....

And lots of layers.....

Now for some photo's of the Three Princess' Room....

This room is HUGE.....

It was already painted these colours, no need to change it for the time being....

Just need some more furniture!!

The girls love it....

Now for some photo's of my current scrapping space....

Another huge room. Just waiting for my furniture to arrive from Australia....

This room is at the back of the house....

There is a balcony outside the patio doors....

And this is my view at the back of the house - Ardrossan Castle, or what remains of it....

The castle was built in 1140 and fell into ruin in 1654, when Oliver Cromwell's army destroyed it...

The castle is said to be haunted by the ghost of William Wallace (remember the movie Braveheart with Mel Gibson as the Scottish William Wallace - for my non Scots friends - a classic movie, I hope you have seen it). The castle was an English Garrison in the 12th Century, and Wallace sacked it. He was captured and hung, drawn and quartered by the English in 1305....

I'll let you know if I ever see him!!!!!


But, what a view....

That's me for the time being. Thanks for popping in again...

Creative Scrappers # 202

Finally, a layout with a photo and title!!!!

Took this photo of my three darling Granddaughters last week, and sketch # 202 over at Creative Scrappers was perfect to showcase it..... 



The sketch, by Juliana Michaels.....





 

 



 

I have used the beautiful "Random" Collection of papers from Crate Paper...

Flowers by Prima - "Audrey Rose"....

 

Bling by Zva Creative.....

And Bazzill cardstock - with lots of distressing, including the photo.....

Now, to happenings at sea......

As most of you know, we are waiting the arrival of our worldly goods from Australia, which has now been delayed to the 22nd April.....

Let's Google the ship.....

Voila.....

The MSC Firenze.....

Yes, our worldly goods (and all my scrapping supplies and photo's, including vintage family heirloom photo's) are stacked on this container ship.....

Maybe I shouldn't have Googled it....

But, you gotta love Google.....
