Am I becoming a closet scrapbooker?

I don't normally do scrapbooking, mainly preferring to make cards, but after completing the Bubbly Funk April Kit, I'm in a bit of a scrapping mood, so I sat down on Thursday night to do one layout. Three layouts later I'd finished for the night! These are my creations.....

This photo was taken on holiday in 2005 at the butterfly farm near Workspo, Nottinghamshire. Freya loved that little duck despite being a little scared to hold it at the beginning. We nearly had an extra little one in the car on the way back!


These photos of Jacob were taken on holiday last year at the top of the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth. We can't believe just how grown up he looks in these - and oh, so handsome too!


Think Maisy looks so lovely in these photos - she is such a lovely dog. Very good temperament, especially when a certain two (pictured above) pester her something chronic at times! I especially love the close up photo of her asleep. It's a hard life being a dog, don't ya know!

I've been tagged!

Thanks Hazel (http://www.craftyhazelnut.blogspot.com)- you tagged me, so here is my reply...

You have to do seven fact/habits about yourself then tag another seven people.

1. I am a qualified Driving Instructor although I no longer teach.

2. I have appeared with my daughter, Freya, on the Mother and Baby website due to a rare illness in her pregnancy.

3. I have met the Queen.

4. I met Will, my husband, when I was 16.

5. I hate flying.

6. I no longer have my wisdom teeth! (Explains a lot HEE HEE!)

7. I don't suffer fools lightly!

Right then, I'm tagging Caroline, DiW (Crazy Daisy), DiO, Kathy, Sam, Kaz and Rachel. Over to you ladies...

Bubbly Funk April Scrapbook Kit

Not normally known as a scrapbooker but I just had to have a go with the contents of the Bubbly Funk April Scrapbook Kit, as it looked sooo scrummy! Apart from the photographs of my two little lovlies I used the contents of the kit (substiting my own slightly larger eyelets for the the ones in the kit though as the little ones kept getting stuck under my finger nails and it was either cut my nails or use my bigger ones........ Stay in the drawer you bad nail clippers!!!!!)

Bubbly Funk Notebook Swap

I seem to have so much crafting to do at the mo, but so little time to do it. I did manage a few hours last night though and decorated my A5 notebook for the Bubbly Funk Notebook Swap. Our subject was 'Summer' and this is what some poor, unsuspecting soul is going to receive in return for their masterpiece! LOL




Enjoyed this doing this one so much though that I bought another 4 A5 spiral bound notebooks when I went to Asda earlier - at 55p each they are an absolute bargain, don't ya think? ;-)

A-Z of Christmas {I}

It was my turn this week to post the Christmas A-Z on Bubbly Funk. My letter was {I} so I chose Ivy as it is often used with Holly as a Christmas Decoration around the home, being an evergreen. You can see the fab work of the Design Team members {here} . Not only on a Christmas A-Z but we also have an Inspiration A-Z running too.

I am a cheeky, lazy cow! (Says Will!)

Just been caught by Will for posting some of his photos onto my blog that he actually took and not me (HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA)

So.... to give credit where credit is due, Will took some of the photos of Housesteads and of Tynemouth Priory!

Thanks for letting me publish them Will!!!!!!
