Happy birthday Scrappin Patch!


Yep, the framing is well on it's way and Donna's new house is starting to take shape. We've been checking out colours (even though there's no walls yet LOL), but you know, these things take time :-)



This wee darling is growing at a super rate of knots. I'm loving watching her develop and it's fun handling a little chick each day.


This layout is for Scrappin Patch's October challenge. You have to try something you haven't tried before. That's not hard - I've quite a few things in my scrap room that just sit there looking pretty LOL. Kind of like ornaments really! Anyway, I mixed up some gel medium with some mica powder and with the help of a Crafters Template came up with this. I also pulled out the dimensional magic. Now of course I've used that before, but I am still on the same bottle of it, that I brought way back in the dark ages when I first started scrapbooking :-)

Vicki and I had a nice day yesterday out at Scrappin Patch's birthday crop. Luckily Adrienne didn't have us dressed in birthday hats...but where was the Pass the Parcel Adrienne??? Or the musical chairs LOL?! We did have a yummy chocolate birthday cake. And I was the lucky one whose name was drawn out and I won a handy prize - it was from the challenge we were given when we arrived - this must be the scrappers version of a goodie bag LOL.

I now have about five layouts at various stages of completion, so I should really get off the computer and go and do them.

Have a great week everyone.

There always seem to be exciting times at your place. Love your layout - The gel medium birds etc looks very effective. Always good to try something new. (have yet to get some gel medium myself). Have a good week.

gel medium ???

Dimensional magic - must say that I've never got past my first bottle either - just quietly.

What do you four legged friends think of the new two legged variety?

Work in progress - wowser, Donna will be living in her new abode in no time at all!
