Lace Winner

A random number generator picked out Cass's post, so she's the winner of my little lace parcel - well done! Shall send you a PM on UKS to get your address. I enjoyed reading all about your favourite stash items and the talking Dymo! Thanks for all the lovely comments you leave me about my LOs aswell, it makes my day reading them.

Not an A-Z LO..

.. but the weekly UKS challenge which was to scrap a childhood photo - so here's me at 5 months old!

Right back to thinking about A-Z entries! Don't forget about the little giveaway below

One of my favourite things ..

.. is LACE. I love it! But after buying some, getting some in kits and completing a lace swap, I find that I've got quite a bit of it. So I thought I would give some away.

So just leave me a comment telling me what your current favourite stash item is, and on Sunday I'll pick one lucky person to receive this little bundle.

Ran out of steam ..

... last week as this LO has been sat on my desk since then! I kept tinkering with it and finally made myself sit down and do it today. I saw something similiar in Scrapbook Creations, but my LO hasn't quite come out as I had in my head! The journaling reads - "well most of the time anyway..."

Had the sudden realisation today that I was really behind with the girl's A-Z albums - 5 entries each to be precise - so that's 10 LOs I need to catch up on and my objective for this week - wish me luck.

My challenge

After the challenge I sent my teamies on UKS, Jackie set one for me - to use brown and pink cardstock (no pp), blooms and chipboard. So I'd seen a LO in For Keeps magazine last night that used lace cardstock and I decided to make my own on my Cricut using SCAL. I'm really pleased with how it came out.
And here's my LO for Jackie's challenge, thanks heavens for the pink blooms in my Scraptitude package the other day!

I have ideas

I have lots of LOs in my head at the moment and feel that if I don't do them ALL NOW I'll forget them, so here's my third LO of the day! I've actually set it as a challenge for my UKS team, which is to use fabric/lace/ribbon rather than patterned paper. The cardstock is actually a pale blue, but isn't showing up very well.


A few little yummies ...

After I saw some lovely stash on Laura's blog that she'd bought from Scrapitude, I knew I needed to make a little purchase - and these lovelies arrived this morning, super quick delivery. I don't use a lot of blooms on my LOs, but do find them handy for minibooks and the buttons are fab!

I put one of the journaling spots to good use straight away on this LO. It describes how we'd found a sprouting conker lying on the ground in the garden, must have been a discarded one from last autumn, and have now planted it in our orchard.


This LO was done with bits from various Scarlet Lime kits plus fabric and embellies from Kitty Robot that I got last month, thought the apple and caterpillar theme went well together!
