Kids and Dogs



The
photographer did a great job of matching up the kids and dogs. This is
adorable!!
A
friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift


A
friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift


A
friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.

And
makes the world we live in a better and happier place.There
is a miracle called friendship, that dwells in the heart.
You do not know how
it happens or when it gets it's start.

But
you know the special lift it always brings.
You realize that friendship is
the world's most precious gift!
Send
this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk,
or how close you
are, and send it to the person who sent it to you.



Let
old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never
will.

Bind it all

I have just bought a bind it all machine complete with accessories & now cant wait for it to come, I saw it demonstrated at a trimcraft demo a couple of weeks back & sucumbed to temptation after selling some bits & pieces on e-bay. So hopefully it will come tomorrow.
Anyone with any hints tips or projects to show, please leave me a comment with a link to your projects.

Join the stampede

A promised I have been out & about with my camera before work to add some of the fabulous elephants to my blog.

This is just 17 out of the 53 lifesize baby elephants that are currently out on the streets of Norwich. When I find more I will add there pictures.

Elephants stampede through Norwich

Norwich has been invaded by 53 life size baby elephants as part of a jumbo arts festival, the elephants have been designed & painted by local artists & school chldren, many have been sponsored by local companies.

You can collect a map at the Forum in Norwich and go on a trail to find all 53 elephants.
They all went into their places overnight and look truly amazing.
Go Elephants



If you are visiting Norwich before the 31st of August then check out this amazing jumbo art trail.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Whilst I was blog hopping i found this great challenge site, I have never done one of the card making challenges so I thought I would give it a go.

The background is from a stampin up wheel run twice along the card, with a gap in between for the ribbon. The matting & Layering is done using Bazill Bling another of my favourites.
