About Me

My photo
Perth, Perthshire, United Kingdom
Welcome to my little corner of the World! I live in Perthshire Scotland with my wonderful husband Eric. We have a daughter, Corinne who is married to Rob and lives in New Zealand, with their boys Harrison and twins Hadley and Dylan. Marie who has a wee boy Jackson, and Greg and his wife Kim, their wee girl Freya, even smaller baby boy Freddie and dog Buddy. I am happy when I am in my craft room, and I love making cards for Charity and also for commissions. I love scrapbooking, and I get my inspiration from my Grandchildren. They are the subjects in most of my Scrapbooking layouts. I have just started to do Mixed Media work, and I am loving it!! I have just started a craft group at our local Church centre, aptly called Saints and Scissors Club! If you can't find me, I will be in my craft room, buried under tons of stash lol!

Take me back

It's sketch time over on the Let's Scrap website,so it is time for a challenge.

 Here is the sketch you need to use to create your layout.  If you look over at the Let's Scrap Blogspot  
you can find details of the prize you could win from the Scrapbook Circle. 



I used more photos from our holiday in Barcelona.  We went to LaPedrera, which was the most amazing building.  It was built as a house, to impress everyone, and boy it must have managed to do that. 


On the roof, there was a walkway right round, where you could see the fantastic chimneys.  Wonderful sculptures each and every one.


I managed to incorporate the leaflet which I picked up, tucking it in a wee pocket.



I also used one of our tickets.  It was a lovely place, and the staff were absolutely wonderful.  Helping me to the lift on every floor.  The lifts were a bit strange.  You had to go right up to the top, and then come back down one floor at a time.
I have a ton of other photos from Barcelona, so watch this space!!
Thank you for having a wee look at my blog, i wouldlove it if you could leave a message to let me know you have been here. xx

Barcelona La Ramblas

Hello again!  How are you?  I hope the answer is "fine"I must confess however, that I have said I am fine, when really I'm not, but I don't want to bore anyone with my list of ailments! LOL!!
I have had a very sore finger, for a couple of months now, and it has been making my crafting a bit difficult, especially colouring, as it is the index finger on my right hand.  Everything becomes difficult when you can't lean on one of your fingers as I am discovering!
Anyway, enough about me, onto the post.

!st February (what already?) means a new sketch for Let's Scrap.  Here is the sketch this month.

 Here is my layout.  I really enjoyed working with this sketch, and I will definitely use it again.
 These photos were taken in Barcelona, a place I have dreamt about visiting for many years.
I though the journal box saying "Dream until your dreams come true"  was totally the correct thing to put there!

We took these photos in The Ramblas, a wonderful place to visit, which we did 3 times during our visit.  There is so much to see, including these Street Artists, who stand almost motionless for hours and hours.    I especially loved this lady, as she was wearing my favourite colour LOL!!

Here are a couple of close-ups of my work.
Papers, stickers and chipboard were all from Bo Bunny.
 Doilies were from Dovecraft.
Barcelona Title is actually a fridge magnet!! I had a wee Magpie moment! lol!!



 Why don't you make a layout based on this sketch and enter it into the competition at Let's Scrap Blog

Bye for now, thank you for stopping for a wee look.
