International Scrapbook Day

Hello! You haven't seen me in a while have you?! :)  I'm back temporarily (as I have the whole day to dedicate to crafting) to share with you some International Scrapbooking Day stuff!

Firstly, if you have never heard of International Scrapbook Day check out my article published on Scrapjazz today explaining all about it.

Then head on over to Scrapwhispers.com to join in with the fun! I am hanging out over there today, posting a challenge every hour on the hour for you to join in with. There are surprise boxes of crafting goodies up for grabs and lots of fairy tale fun!

Come say hey!

Another quick catch up!

Okay - who is messing with my calender? Anyone? Where the heck is time flying to? Seriously? I've just realised I've not updated my blog in forever and so thought I'd give you a quick download on a few crafty things I've been up too. I seriously need to get back with recording my cake challenge of 2013 for example, I'm falling a little behind (unless you count all the special order cakes I've had recently!) - I need to get some gardening posts sorted too now that I'm growing stuff again and the sunshine has decided to finally make an appearance! I have a couple of craft fairs coming up soon, I'm all of a sudden very busy! Here are just a few updates in photo form! :) I'll be back again at the weekend hopefully! Hope everyone is well. 

Daisy and Donald Duck cupcakes for a work colleague (chocolate and toffee flavour)

Lots of custom orders in my etsy shop - this was just one of them

Finally got out in my garden and had the opportunity to tackle some dead plants! (more photos to follow)

Created a new line of cupcake toppers - wedding themed and.....

Alice in Wonderland themed! 

Custom order cake for a colleague at work! 

Walking in a winter wonderland

This was my back garden in January 2013. Snow. Of course I *had* to take a walk around and get some photos! Especially of my gnomes trying with all their might to clear their faces of snow so they could breath! :)

To Sleep....

...perchance to dream

I decided to stick with the Shakespeare quotes for titles this week and created this layout about my cat Rhylee who put up with me getting snap happy, despite his obvious need and want to sleep.  Dreary eyed he looked cute for a few photos and then curled up in a ball, one paw over his eye and shooed me away!

Daffodils

Thought I would share another card with you all today - I bet you can't believe it can you..... I didn't blog in almost a month and now you can't get rid of me! LOL

This is a very simple card, love the new magnolia stamp.

Zulu the Rubbish Monster

Have you seen the latest Scrapwhispers challenge? Creating a layout from a Kraft, Aqua, Red and White colour scheme and then adding in some doodling?

No? Then you need to get on over there and join in the fun! This is a layout I created for some extra inspiration.... click on the tab at the top of this page marked "scrapwhispers" for more.

Winter of our discontent

This quote from Shakespeare seems to be apt for this past winter.... which is kind of still ongoing! Winter this year seems to have dragged on and on and on. I think the title says it all... very well! :)
