Catching Up

I'm back again

Took longer than I thought.....

So, what have I been up to for the year
I have been away?

Still scrapping up a storm.

Teaching weekly classes and trying to
get my new house (over a year now)
just the way I want it!

Today I want to share a layout of
my youngest Granddaughter,
Olivia.

This was a pack of papers I bought about
TEN years ago to make layouts for
my eldest Granddaughter.... LOL!

I've been having a massive clearout
of my scrapping supplies and came across
them so decided to make some layouts
and finally get Olivia's album started!

Coming Soon.......

More layouts....

Shadowbox.....

Canvas....

Mini Albums....

Altered Items.....

Even some cards....

Full details and lots more photo's for
all these projects coming soon.

One of my favourites being the shadowbox
which I made from a
£1.50 photo frame.

See you again soon.

Lots of fussy cutting from the papers.

gold Mirri card.

The stunning border is a

Treasured memories indeed,

and the Gilded Lily papers

are just too perfect!

I would like to enter this layout

Layout Reveal - at last!!!!

Hello again everyone.

So good to be back in Blogland

after a year out.

So much has been happening that I just

needed time to deal with the new house

and other exciting happenings.

But, I thought I would start out by

revealing the layout that I posted a

sneak peek for on 10th April

last year!

It was a sketch from my old

Design Team at Stuck On U Sketches,

which has sadly now closed.

I'm still deciding whether to join another

Design Team, but just don't seem

to have the time.

Will wait and see.

Anyway, this is a photo from my

trip to Philadelphia a couple of years ago,

at Independence Hall.

This was the sketch...

Lots of close ups

Now for an update on family matters....

Meet Granddaughter # 4

Olivia

Born September last year

Here I am with my four Granddaughters

Rebekah (9), Erin (7), Emma (6) and little Olivia.

Olivia is son's second daughter.

So, my daughter and son both have

two daughters each!

Our other addition to the family is Charlie

Full title 'Miss Charlie Banks'

The Granddaughters named her

She's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel,

born in October last year, and joined

our family in January this year.

Charlie is my first ever dog.

She's a bit bigger than this now.

Will have to get a more up to date photo of her.

Poor darling hubby.

Surrounded by all these girls!!!

Well, that's me for now.

Feels good to be blogging again,

though did take me a wee while

to remember what to do - lol.

Now I must tidy up my sidebars

- wee bit out of date now.

I will hopefully be getting around

to visiting you all soon.

Hugs for now

Hello everyone!!!!!

I'm still alive!!!!

Will be posting regularly again in the next day or two!!!!
