Flower doodle template

I used my new flower doodle template on this lo, so many possibilities with it but I just used the whole outline and the doodle petal in black and then filled the circles with white pen. The pic is one of dd1's friends taken on the day they went to the National TV Awards ceremony.

Halloween













Oh dear, these 2 lo's are done on the same papers, but photo taken at different times! Pics show dd2 and her dh at our Halloween party. DD2 was bandaged as a mummy, but to eat, her dh had taken off his Jason mask! The pumpkin is actually a plastic drinking cup bought for dgs.

6x6 lo's



My sister sent this photo taken from her son's bathroom window. Shows the London night skyline, you can see the Eye lit up. Not everyone has such a view!

Xmas Album


Decided to have a go at making my own word album, quite pleased with the end result. Cut the shapes in mountboard and covered with pp, inked the edges. Bound with the BIA and lots of ribbons.


Pics show the front, back and then the album slightly open.




Old Photos

These pics were taken when dd1 and her friend decided to camp out in the garden overnight. They didn't last the whole night outside, too many noises!

Stuck down at last!


8x8 lo showing beautiful blue eyes of dgs.











This lo shows dgs happy smile!










This pic is of my niece swimming with sharks in Sydney, her birthday treat! Photo wasn't brilliant but it was murky in there!

Finished at Last

This baby lo of dd1 was started a while ago as a challenge on UKS, at last I have finished it! Had to use 2 shades of pink, 2 pics, flowers and ribbon.

Acrylic Album

This little acrylic album was made from a kit for the UKS cyber crop. As yet it has no pics in it! Was great fun to make!

Pink Car

These photos of dgs were taken at Beale park, in the area of Little Tikes World. It was very busy in there and the first empty toy he came across was a pink car which he promptly climbed in to, much to his father's disgust! You learn early to grab what toys are available!
I have used the new Blonde Moments papers and tried to convey the hectic atmosphere in the area, kids everywhere, running and driving!

Bucklars Hard







A double lo of pics taken on a weekend break at Bucklars Hard. I have overlapped the pics mainly to hide the date stamping on them which is why they both go the same way.

Paper Clips


Gill on our UKS team suggested a challenge using paper clips on a lo, so here is my version. Used the paper clips with flowers attached and then bead letters in the middle to spell out the name. Really old pics of me, and althought the pics are b/w the colours remind me of the dress.

UKS CC lo


This is the lo I did for the UKS cc class, Dotty About You.

I didn't have enough buttons so drew dots instead and used a few Halloween eyelets.
