I Don't Do Snow

No she certainly doesn't!!

February 2007 and we had a lovely settling of pure white snow and so I decided (alright... granted a little tight) to show Lacie and put her outside so I could get some snowy shots. Well she was not impressed, I got the impression from the photo I've used she was uttering under her breath that she doesn't do snow, hence the title and she's such a pickle puss it suits her.

The snowflake I stamped using Making Memories Christmas foam stamps with white acrylic and added frosted lace Stickles.

The layout is again from Gotta Craft's January kit, title hand cut with my usual 4" scissors, can't do little scissors the BIGGER the better lol. Dymo font was downloaded and enlarged to go with the page and a Heidi Swapp Snow rub-on which I now hate, I have rubbed these onto photos and they work fab but oh no not on textured cardstock, my ice had melted in my Baileys by the time these stuck on and boy did I need a swig after that challenge :)

Moody

I absolutely adore black and white papers, its got to be the best way to scrap in my opinion of course. Photo's look 10 times better when printed that way too, it creates a more dramatic and striking page or photo (well I think so), and so here's another page done with the Gotta Craft January kit.

This one is of Kyle my eldest, I was taking shots outside last September for a course I was doing and having spent a fair time in the wet posing this was the look I got when I said 'oh just a few more' so I called it Moody...nearly added an extra bit on the end but resisted the urge lol.

I used my new Bazzill In Stitch'z on this page, first time too, and wow what a difference it made to the page. I slightly spoiled the title as the 'y' blobbed, but hey I'll get over it...being the perfectionist I am it may take a little while lol. Having said that, I am rather pleased with the two creations and they sit side by side in my album, sometimes it just comes together.

Lashes

Not the teddy bear kind...the ones attached to your eyelids lol.

Both of my boys have the most amazing eyelashes, and it seems to be that us girls who crave long lengths are never lucky enough to be born with them, yet the male species seem almost blessed with length, life can hard when your a woman searching for that next pot of mascara.

Anyway this is a layout I did for the Design Team gallery over at Gotta Craft (link below) with the January kit which I just love, probably because its Doodlebug. I wanted to keep it simple but classy to compliment the papers, I did the font on Word with Scriptina, printed it in mirror and painstakingly cut it out by hand, honestly I did!!

I used a Doodlebug frill to edge the patterned paper, a few brads, two black blossoms and hey presto, simple yet effective - hope I've inspired you to pop along and order your kit :)
