Favourite Autumn Things Scrapbook Page

I know I am totally in the wrong season but I absolutely love Autumn and I have had the Jolee's 'Autumn' title for about 5 years now!!
I found it today while having a tidy up and knew I had to do a layout I wanted it to be a layout for myself and not for my niece or one of the foster kids albums. I have never made a layout for myself before so this was a first!!

 Along with the Jolee's Autumn I stamped Favourite Things from K&Co Marcella Occasions Clear Stamps in dark brown chalk ink. I have no idea who the patterned paper is by as this came out of my scraps file but there are some nice ones on the link below by Shabby Princess. Also used Kraft, Cream and Brown cardstock.

 The labels are a free Fall Words Overlay download from Shabby Princess - Shabby Fall Collection I printed them on cream paper and cut out the words I wanted for my layout and even cut some out to spell words I wanted like Spice and Apple Pie as this wasn't on the list.

I am not 100% on the note paper with my hand writing on as I hate my writing even tho my mam loves it - strange woman hehe! I think I need a little acorn or something art the bottom of the note paper there next to the apple pie label as it looks little empty. Or maybe I could paper piece a little apple pie - how cute would that be - I'm going to google now see if I can find template for one!!

I used my Friskars Treading water punch also as the edge of my patterned paper needed softening up.
The photos of the spice and the pumpkin are just from google and obviously the pic of my Buster out in the park last Autumn. I have never scrapped my furry babies before either - terrible mother I hear you all saying :-) yes I must be but I have an idea for a page of my two boys which I will be doing soon.

I am sooooo chuffed with this layout for it being a first personal one I think I may make a page for each season listing my fav things about them too. I will see if I can get some more titles from Jolee's or whoever which are similar.

Thanks so much for looking

Fathers Day Card

Father'd Day this year in the UK is Sunday, June 19th.

My dad has been doing alot of DIY the past few months and helping me around my house so I have made him a DIY themed Father's Day Card.

I used some free downloadable papers from Crafts Beautiful Sep07 there are lots of free papers, templates and embelishments on this site so have a look - there is something for everyone from recipies, knitting patterns and verses/fonts.

I had some spare felt 3d alpha stickers lying around which I spelt 'Dad' in the top corner as it was looking a tad bare.

I free cut the apron by hand but there are many templates available if you google it.
The Screw heads, nails, pencil and Caution tape are cut from Karen Foster Design -  Construction Zone stickers. I used my micro mini alpha stamps for the greeting.

Hope he likes it.
Thanks for looking

Saturday Scrabooking with Sam - 3

Hey Guys its that time of the week again for another layout.

I am off work for a week and half from work so all my days seem to be merging together so almost forgot it was Saturday today!

Today's layout is from Jeanette Lynton's inspiration book it is not one of the pages which is broken down this is on the title page and doesn't give directions so I just had to make up as I go along so it is not totally identical but pretty close.

 This is an 8 x 8 layout using papers from the Basic Grey ' Blush' collection also used plain pink and brown card stock. Pink stickers from Remarks Love Letter and white peal offs from local craft store.

Buttons were just from my collection with a little chiffon ribbon threaded threw.

Thanks for checking out my blog :-)

Give Away Winner and New Addition

Hi

Apologies for not carrying out the draw for my giveaway yesterday had a few busy days since getting our new addition Barney! Had to look after my neighbours sick little girl yesterday so should could pop out and then had to baby sit my niece all last night so not had a chance to get online.

 Barney on the long drive home

 Our first pit stop Barney (new additon) at the front he is so much skinnier than our Buster. The woman at the rescue centre was saying Barney was the correct wegith for a Beagle but I would beg to differ I mean buster is our only first Beagle but he is not fat like she kept say - wasnt happy about that!!

Barney has settled in quite well apart from he is scaring the life out of the cats as he is not used to them. He keeps chasing after them and barking like mad!! I am having to keep my 15 year old cat upstairs as I don't think his little ticker can take it.

Using random.org the winner of my give away is Viviane (walgode13)

Thanks so much to all who entered I will be having another giveaway if I can get my youtube scubs to 100.
