Whats in a name?

I saw a layout in this months scrapbook trends and had to have a go.


Abi has many nicknames & I was immediately drawn to this layout. She was named Abi Lauren, Dan was only 3 1/2 when she was born so Lauren quickly became shortened to Lolly. Lolly was affectionately called Lolly pops................... eventually she became known as Pops.
when Harvey started to talk he couldn't say Auntie Abi, so he called her tabby which now he's a bit older he calls her Tabs.

Blank canvas challenge

A few weeks back we had a crop & craft evening at my house, when Jane came in I handed her an 8 x 8 blank canvas. Jane as usual rose to the challenge & created this beautiful layout of her beautiful little girl.

As ever I am inspired by janes creativity & had a go at making canvases using her layout for inspiration.



Off to get some black & white buttons tomorrow to finish thsi off, but I was so pleased with it so far I just had to share it with you.

Well the card box is taking shape, it is at the moment still a work in progress, I started the red one & now half way through I decided I fancied making a green one as well, as a result neither are finished yet.

***** Top tip *****
If the bottom of the box doesn't lie flat cut an insert & use No more nails to glue it in place. trust me it works a treat.
