keeping it real

CELEBRATE ... RED, WHITE & BLUE

New in the stores today - EMBOSSED ALPHA SET 3 ... Another great set of alpha's you shouldn't be without… use it for those Independence Day pages and beyond ... perfect for any page layout and theme.  You get 3 full sets of alphabets, numbers and a hoard of characters and symbols … also included in the download: a distressed tag, 2 grungy cardboard stars and some patriotic wordart.  Hoards and hoards of separate .PNG files.  No drop shadows. 

Flying the flag - on our Virgin flight back from Orlando to the UK last Summer ... I hate this homeward journey - sad to leave our place in the sun, and I can never sleep or get comfortable LOL. Kits used Embossed Alpha set 3', 'Say it With Flowers', 'A grand Day Out', 'Evitangel' (recoloured) and 'Midnight Diamonds'. 

Also new in the stores today - SAY IT WITH FLOWERS ALPHA.  A perfect alpha to grace any page layout - and those little flowers can so easily be recoloured, making them perfect for any page layout and theme.  You get a full alpha, numbers and a hoard of characters, images and symbols … included as separate .PNG files AND 2 full sheets - for those of you who prefer to use alpha's in this way. separate .PNG files.  A little drop shadow on the flowers only.  All files prepared at 300dpi for optimum print quality.   This kit is also suitable for hybrid and paper crafters.

I have this little teddy bear addiction, 300+ in my house - all over the show!  But that have to be bare bears, buck naked (maybe just a little sweater, but that's all!)... Just a few here :)

I'm also a quote-a-holic... and loved this one :)

Carly and I had another Zoo visit last week and the lions obliged by being in full view - only briefly scattering to chase the overhead aircraft!  Gotta love'em... and the babies are now almost the size of their parents.  This is Mum - very proud of her offspring :)

My incredible CT Chickeroonies have worked their magic again... this is what they've did with SAY IT WITH FLOWERS

BIG things happening very soon - watch this space :)  Thank you so much for visiting my little corner of the blogging world, I love to see you here :)

HAPPY MONDAY :)

Found a little 'me' scrapping time this weekend - I love to scrap :)

Photo was taken in a little corner of Epcot World Showcase - away from the crowds and hustle and bustle.  Edited to remove some distracting background and then stroked edges.  Kits used:  Hearts and Flowers ... Evitangel ... Fresh ... new Beginnings ... Land of Make Believe ... Midnight Diamonds.

Need your shades for this one!  The Expedition Everest attraction at WDW Animal Kingdom - photo taken in Summer 05 during construction.  It was incredible to see the track layout and additions of snow.  We rode this thing last year - Paul and Carly loved it ... I was OK until we got right to the top, the ride down was all backwards - I felt sick and hated it!

Anyhow, kits used: Hush (paper - recoloured) ... A Little Sunshine ... Buttons ... Colour Me Beautiful ... A Real Gem ... Art Explosion ... Chocolate Sensation.

Have a great Monday - thanks for visiting my little corner of the blogging world :)

CATCH-UP SUNDAY

Had a great crop again yesterday ... ate loads, talked loads... but not alot of scrapping LOL ...  Made a few purchases from Sue's fabulous shop - CRAFTY STASH I swear this girl has the best online store in the UK.  The blossom and felt flourishes on this page were 2 new purchases.  Small photo's taken on our Florida holiday last year - July 4th - showing the castle at different times of the day.

Diane's class layout - gorgeous papers and felt flowers.  Photo's of Carly at Gatorland last year - in her element feeding the llama's and goats!

And a very happy birthday to Maisie for next week - she'll be 5 :) 

HERE'S MARVIN ...

As cute as can be - Marvin looking out for his predators!  Kits used: Hush ... Cartoon Capers ... A Secret Garden ... Lizards ... Mail Art ... Buttons.  Kits available at NDISB, Treasures to Scrap and ScrapScandiStyle (links in sidebar on the right).

Really sad to hear about the Kong Exhibit at Universal CA ... got me to thinking that I hadn't scrapped our pics of him.  Part of the news bulletin taken from online... and memories of our visit back in the Summer of 2006.  Kit is Brigitte's Purple Paradise - available at the TTS store (thank you Brigitte xx)

Marving sampling his first fresh flower ... Brigitte's newest kit Primary Summer - available at the TTS store ... thanks again hun - really enjoyed working with these :)
