<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi all, I hope that I find you well! I haven't blogged for a long while and wondered if I would remember how, but it doesn't seem that blogger has changed too much since last year! </span><div>

I didn't have loads of time but saw <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/111234012/christmas-ornament-notecards-set-of-six?utm_campaign=Share&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_source=Pinterest" target="_blank">this</a> on Pinterest and made my own version in Publisher. Here is how they turned out...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I made some baubles on the computer as I didn't have enough buttons and pearls to make all of the baubles on all of the cards. I imported the bows as an image and added the sentiment.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All that was needed was some glamour dust and some embellishments!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I rounded the corners with my corner chomper.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My little fella gave them out with a father christmas chocolate telling everyone his mum had made his cards bless him:-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have made a rather special purchase to help me make my main christmas cards, more on that in my next post!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am really enjoying my Friday scrapbooking mornings at Autumn Cottage, I love catching up with my friend Linzi and having a chat with the other ladies there. This time I didn't have time to prepare anything so I grabbed some Basic Grey papers from the Wisteria kit and a photo and hoped for the best!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p2gb6hLj2jU/UJmbxVnP9DI/AAAAAAAACYI/elx_BWc1d9E/s1600/IMG_8645.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p2gb6hLj2jU/UJmbxVnP9DI/AAAAAAAACYI/elx_BWc1d9E/s320/IMG_8645.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I picked a background paper in a pale yellow and mounted my photo onto some grey and pale blue plain card.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5avncAbarKo/UJmb7Rk8UHI/AAAAAAAACYQ/J70sPWZaMKM/s1600/IMG_8646.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5avncAbarKo/UJmb7Rk8UHI/AAAAAAAACYQ/J70sPWZaMKM/s320/IMG_8646.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The flowers were on another sheet from the same range of papers and I cut these out, mounted some petals with 3d dots and used glossy accents to make them stand out. Perfect pearls were used on the inside of the stamen. I inked the edges of the papers with purple to match the flower.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SuHB1WmeL-s/UJmcFEXDOZI/AAAAAAAACYc/wbu3PTQuke0/s1600/IMG_8647.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SuHB1WmeL-s/UJmcFEXDOZI/AAAAAAAACYc/wbu3PTQuke0/s320/IMG_8647.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have created a tag and tucked this under the photo so that the soppy stuff can be hidden underneath!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6YNpLHK8xyo/UJmcOYDtkDI/AAAAAAAACYk/Y0DI_SgySNs/s1600/IMG_8648.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6YNpLHK8xyo/UJmcOYDtkDI/AAAAAAAACYk/Y0DI_SgySNs/s320/IMG_8648.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's not my usual choice of colours or style but I am pleased with the result and for the opportunity to use some papers with flowers, I don't get to use that too much with two boys!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hope your week is fabulous and thanks for visiting me.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hexagons are on trend at the moment and I was keen to make a scrapbook page with them. I used </span><a href="http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/autumn_blossoms/autumn_blossoms.php" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">these</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> papers from Pink Petticoat to show an autumn photo of my two boys larking around in a field.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I made the hexagon shape in Microsoft Publisher and then transferred the papers across and re sized them.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0yHMcBOnTT0/UJmf29Mso1I/AAAAAAAACZU/-uFdTq2bBRY/s1600/IMG_8650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0yHMcBOnTT0/UJmf29Mso1I/AAAAAAAACZU/-uFdTq2bBRY/s320/IMG_8650.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I stamped some white circles faintly in white onto the kraft paper and added some white rub ons to the edges of the hexagons. I also did some stitching with my sewing machine in places.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OEeuXmsYe_Q/UJmgGUIqOOI/AAAAAAAACZc/cj9dnnVUa5w/s1600/IMG_8651.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OEeuXmsYe_Q/UJmgGUIqOOI/AAAAAAAACZc/cj9dnnVUa5w/s320/IMG_8651.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I added some embelishments, this one made by myself with WOW embossing powders and a flower mould.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l703IKdd320/UJmgRFqE3BI/AAAAAAAACZs/qO5Ng8Ssfz8/s1600/IMG_8652.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l703IKdd320/UJmgRFqE3BI/AAAAAAAACZs/qO5Ng8Ssfz8/s320/IMG_8652.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And some other embelishments from my stash, I am finally getting round to using them!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zXsdAPcSwR0/UJmgjCi2gdI/AAAAAAAACZ0/8TSR2JZJD-w/s1600/IMG_8653.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zXsdAPcSwR0/UJmgjCi2gdI/AAAAAAAACZ0/8TSR2JZJD-w/s320/IMG_8653.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was a bit cautious about using pastel colours on a boys page but it made a nice change.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi all, I hope your week is going well and welcome to my new followers, thanks for visiting my blog!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You may remember <a href="http://handmade-cards-with-love.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/bug-boy-at-it-again.html" target="_blank">this</a> post when I spoke about my youngest being Bug Boy, well we did the growing of the butterflies again this summer. He still loves watching the caterpillars turn into a crysalid and then into a beautiful butterfly!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As soon as the butterflies hatch we let them go, only this year, when we took them outside, they were not so keen to come out of their netted habitat. My son carefully placed his hand inside taking care not to touch their wings, let them climb onto his finger, and then took them out and let them fly away!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used kraft paper as my base and cut some butterflies out from some Tim Holtz paper. I coloured them with distress inks to match the real butterfly and added some perfect pearls for decoration.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I edited the photo in Picasa so that the photo was black and white appart from the colour of the butterfly. I layered this several times onto black and orange card.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yij_SeOgC_E/UJfQ6SGM9-I/AAAAAAAACXM/3updx4B5RBs/s1600/IMG_8644.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yij_SeOgC_E/UJfQ6SGM9-I/AAAAAAAACXM/3updx4B5RBs/s320/IMG_8644.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I added a simple border by sewing around the edge with my sewing machine. Here is the photo of him with one butterfly sitting on his finger!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love Websters Pages products and I love the fact that some of their pages are digital! I had a special friends birthday recently and wanted to make her a card, I knew which paper I wanted to use, its from the fab Postcards from Paris set <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/digital/digital-paper-collections/postcards-from-paris-papers-digi" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I resized the page in Publisher so that it would fit on a square card and printed onto Linen Cardstock. I added some little gems on the centre of the flowers...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I made some butterflies with my Martha Stewart Punch which I then layered and attached with 3d foam pads. I printed the Happy Birthday in Nuptial font onto linen card stock and layered it onto lovely blue card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whilst browsing through Pinterest the other day I came across <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/39132830/moselle-haunted-bunting" target="_blank">this</a> site with free Halloween printable bunting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now there were a million other things I should be doing (and none of them involved browsing Pinterest) but I couldn't resist making a quick Halloween banner to go over our fireplace in the kitchen.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--Se9lwSYlLI/UIqdlW9stCI/AAAAAAAACS8/KNRKBPKcQA4/s1600/DSC02565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--Se9lwSYlLI/UIqdlW9stCI/AAAAAAAACS8/KNRKBPKcQA4/s400/DSC02565.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was such a quick project to make, I simply printed the bunting onto card, and cut it out.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FW7gCoZxY10/UIqd5XKtWMI/AAAAAAAACTY/n5ZncDCBfL8/s1600/DSC02568.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FW7gCoZxY10/UIqd5XKtWMI/AAAAAAAACTY/n5ZncDCBfL8/s320/DSC02568.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I then added some different trim to the edges of each one...</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SmcdqHUD6Z0/UIqeCD5XqhI/AAAAAAAACTg/aRykfA9DCRg/s1600/DSC02569.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SmcdqHUD6Z0/UIqeCD5XqhI/AAAAAAAACTg/aRykfA9DCRg/s320/DSC02569.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some with paper, some with lace..</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YsaivqL6b1g/UIqeIxjVr8I/AAAAAAAACTs/GN0-RGoHtQ8/s1600/DSC02570.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YsaivqL6b1g/UIqeIxjVr8I/AAAAAAAACTs/GN0-RGoHtQ8/s320/DSC02570.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some ribbon, I used up lots of left over bits and pieces!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ihj4LoI7_o/UIqeP9runJI/AAAAAAAACT0/azNj8364vmY/s1600/DSC02571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ihj4LoI7_o/UIqeP9runJI/AAAAAAAACT0/azNj8364vmY/s320/DSC02571.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I punched two holes at the top of each piece of bunting and thread twine through it. I printed the circular pictures on the last page and used them to cover up the joins.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3azynuzy58c/UIqeX-_s8RI/AAAAAAAACUA/unydfdGwnMU/s1600/DSC02572.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3azynuzy58c/UIqeX-_s8RI/AAAAAAAACUA/unydfdGwnMU/s320/DSC02572.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also wanted to turn the fairy lights that I always have on the fireplace into halloween lights. Using an oval punch I punched out five ovals from orange polka dot paper, I inked the edges with some distressed ink and glued them together. I drew the eyes and nose with a Sharpie pen.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bgf4cDA53Ls/UIqdxfnslEI/AAAAAAAACTQ/uW0g-Y3TM_U/s1600/DSC02567.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bgf4cDA53Ls/UIqdxfnslEI/AAAAAAAACTQ/uW0g-Y3TM_U/s320/DSC02567.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used my Cropadile to punch holes in the eyes and pushed the fairly lights, which do not get hot, through the holes!</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been meaning to do a page about my little fella's feet for a few months now. Even when I sat on the tree house with him, I thought I must take a photo and do a page about how much his stripy socks and crocs make me smile.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had been given permission from his school to take the day off to go an see the Olympic Torch in Southend. We made it more of an adventure by taking the train on the very short journey. After being offered lunch out as a treat he turned it down saying that he would rather have sandwiches an eat them in the tree house.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At the time we had some decorating work going on outside the house so the treehouse was full of garden furniture, but still we perched on the edge of the steps and ate our feast of peanut butter sandwiches!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last Saturday was a great day, we watched our youngest play tennis then we went for a walk along the beach to our local restuarant had a bottle of wine, some yummy lunch and then a lovely walk home.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last week I was at <a href="http://sugarandspicecrafts.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sugar and Spice</a> taking a class with <a href="http://adventuresinbugland.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Nina</a> and she told us that we would be making a card with one of Marion's new stamps called Chevrons. She got out some orange paper, ribbon and felt and I thought 'Oh No!'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I would never dream of making a card in orange, I don't have anything against the colour, its just not one of the safe colours I use in card making. And this is why the class is so good, because it makes you use things you perhaps wouldn't usually and you may even find that you like it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My youngest son had his 9th birthday a few weeks ago and after going to the cinema with four friends, having tea at home with a chocolate fountain and a sleepover (where they stayed up until 2.30 am until I sat in a corner of the bedroom until they stopped talking!) he had to write his Thank You cards!</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I bought some from a shop (shame on me!) but unfortunately some got a bit smudged and some were too messy to send so instead of going out any buying another packet I decided to make some.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well it has been a long long time since I last posted, the summer holidays have been and gone and the kids are back to school. I've finished all the catch up jobs that got lost along the way during the holidays and booked myself back into my Wednesday creative class with <a href="http://adventuresinbugland.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Nina</a> at <a href="http://sugarandspicecrafts.blogspot.co.uk/p/qvc-dates.html" target="_blank">Sugar and Spice</a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi all and welcome to my new followers. It's been ages since I last posted, we are having some work being done on the house so not much creating going on at the moment just making lots of teas for builders and writing my name in the dust!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made a few cards with a gorgeous stamp from Prima last year and it was so versatile I made some more in different colours using Distress Inks.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi all and welcome to my newest follower Crafty Nic, thanks for becoming a follower!
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Since he was about six my little fella has said that he wants to be a chef when he is older. I think I may have posted about this before, luckily he has his fathers cooking skills and not mine so he may stand a chance to fulfil his dreams!
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This page was perfect for a photo of the two fella's cooking together, hubby is a 'throw it in and see how it turns out' kind of cook and it always turns out good. I am a 'copy the recipe exactly' cook but sometimes its still hit and miss!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The photograph is from a side street in Cortona, Italy, the shops are all so prettily decorated and I love the colours on this one. They have the best ice cream shop, handbag shops, home accessories shop and restaurants. We always visit there when we are away.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sometimes it's hard to find the time to scrapbook at home and that's why I love going to Autumn Cottage on a Friday morning where there is nothing to do but relax, chat to lots of lovely ladies, and scrapbook! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Debbie at Becky Lou Memories runs lots of different classes from her wonderful craft studio overlooking the fields of Fambridge, click on her website <a href="http://www.beckyloumemories.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">here</span></a> for more details.</span><br />
<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">She covers a wide range of crafts and is always on hand to offer advice and let you use her fantastic range of craft supplies. </span><br />
<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Last week amongst the chatting, coffee and biscuits I made this page. I saw the layout on this blog<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"> <a href="http://chezkali.canalblog.com/archives/2012/05/01/24143306.html" target="_blank">here</a> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">whilst browsing through Pinterest, my new hobby!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's a really good way to use up your scraps of paper which is what I did here, with a bit of faux stitching to make it stand out a bit more, I was finished. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I can't wait to go back tomorrow!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made this wonderful altered book at the <a href="https://www.scrapagogo.co.uk/">Scrapagogo</a> Retreat. The class was called First Edition and was run by Nicola Kerridge.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I decided to use a photo of my eldest when he was a baby, he is fourteen now and hates having his photo taken so I do not make as many scrapbook pages of him as I do my youngest.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We covered the book and distressed the edges to make it look worn and a bit vintage.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We used a metal embellishment and ribbon to decorate the front and I added some butterflies layered up with left over paper.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xUh1Z6zWR9w/T6QTqjEYT-I/AAAAAAAACII/-GVqTUjljs0/s1600/IMG_7981.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xUh1Z6zWR9w/T6QTqjEYT-I/AAAAAAAACII/-GVqTUjljs0/s320/IMG_7981.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We were given a book to alter, we pulled out out alot of pages at the front and added a frame which we covered with the torn out pages. The inside of the front of the book was covered with paper and I added a huge photo of my son asleep on our bed when he was little. Yes is was a thumb sucker!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We then decorated a tag to insert into the book and I added a couple of butterflies to hold it snuggly in place.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here are a few photos of some other pages that I made at the Scrapagogo Retreat. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This class was called When I Was a Child by Lisa Griffin. I don't have any photos of when I was a child so I decided to use one of my little fella on his first day back at school last year and printed it in sepia to give it a vintage look.</span><br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We also had a great time in the class eating the sweets before we could place the wrappings on the page!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the middle of the colourful wheel I put things about him that I want him to remember, his best friends, his favourite clubs and sports and of course his love of bugs!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another class was Tagged to Transfer by Sheena Rowlands who showed us how to transfer copyright free images printed onto a laser printer, onto a tag or scrapbook page. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's been a fantastic few weeks, the kids have been on Easter holidays, I have been on the Scrapagogo Retreat and had a day out on the Orient Express!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The kids have just gone back to school so I have opened the door on my craft room again and sat down to finish the few little bits that I didn't quite finish at the retreat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This book was made in the Cotton and Calico Chronicles Class with Sheena Rowlands. We had a fabric book and were shown how to use misting sprays and our own made stencils to create a background to each page.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I finished at home with some pretty lace and buttons sewn on to the side of the book and some chipboard buttons sewn onto the tree.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The photos were taken on a trip to Hyde Hall in Chelmsford, one of my favourite ways to spend a Sunday is going there with the dog for a lovely walk and lunch in the cafe.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I decide to use my sharpie pens to add some journalling and changed the colours just like a child's fabric book.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had such fun making this little book and it looks even sweeter in real life. It was a fab class on a fantastic retreat, I can't wait until I go back in March next year.</span></div>
