Finally Finished

Yeah, I've finally finished the baby blanket I've been busy crocheting for my son's teacher who leaves to have a baby at the end of this term.

I've taken time out to make this blanket because she has been the most amazing teacher over the last 12 months. For anyone that knows me and my DS will know I've struggled at times even getting him out of the house to go to School and she has been so understand I can't begin to thank her enough so I'm hoping this goes some way to show my appreciation. Its been an up and down year, to cut a long story short...his brother left to go to High School last September and he just missed him so much that School was just unbearable without him being close by but with lots of encouragement and understanding from his teacher we were able to get him to go and enjoy School again, I'm extremely relieved that I have a happy 7 year old thanks to a special teacher and her soft approach.

And the card to go with it...

Busy Week

I seem to have done nothing but scrap, make cards, clean the house, tweak the new television, make my CJ and finish a baby blanket off for my youngest son's teacher, thankfully I'm at the tassel stage and will be glad when its finally wrapped up ready to go.

So as you can guess I've made a thank you card to go with the said blanket and took a little inspiration from Card Trends and then added my own twist and it also fitted in nicely with the More the Merrier card challenge which was ABC. I did 'A' for apples, 'B' for buttons and 'C' for Core'dinations.

I've also scrapped two layouts of the London Eye one for each of the boys albums and today I managed to do my teams weekly challenge which goes live on Monday 2oth July and after all that I STILL can't get the television to look right grrrr lol.

Supplies: BG Mellow & DCWV Green stack patterned papers, Prima voile and studded owl, Hambly rub-ons and Doodlebug Loopy Lou alphabet stickers.

Supplies: Bazzill cardstock and In Stitch'x, KaiserCraft What a Hoot patterned papers and bling, Prima bling swirls, BG Mellow alphabet stickers and Sizzix bird die.

Have a nice weekend

My Guitar Hero

I loved creating this layout of my youngest son rocking hard one afternoon.

He really is my little rock star dude, he has the look, the moves and the little attitude cos he knows he's fanbloodytastic at it...he truly is awesome, OK I'll admit it...I'm terribly biased lol. His favourite songs are Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones, Talk Dirty to Me by Poison and Ruby, Ruby by KaiserChiefs and he was only 6 at the time!!

Supplies: DCWV patterned paper, Bazzill cardstock black and white, Prima photo strip, BoBunny stamps, MM eyelets, snaps and photo corner, Hero Arts black bling and Doodlebug Loopy Lou alphabet stickers. The 'Guitar Hero' title was taken from the box and played around with in adobe, printed onto plain white glossy cardstock, cut out and edged with a clear glitter pen.

Little man you ROCK MY WORLD
