A few links to some cool French Blogs.

I've been having a look at some French Blogs today. I usually look at English language blogs, but I was looking for something a bit "different" and came across these:

twice in one morning!!

Well here I am again!

Two recent project.... one from last week and one from this week. Both with a similar colour theme, but both to my view very different. A very "busy" LO of Greg and a more restrained one of me. Which style do you prefer?

Some more from the SNS Cyber Crop

Another couple of the projects I finished for the Cyber Crop last weekend at SNS.Cardstock Only Card Challenge. A christmas card for Ross to give, he also helped make it.Lots of cards Challenge. The challenge was to use a tutorial to make 9 cards frop 3 sheets of cardstock & two sheets of patterened papers. I used various cardstock and frances meyer papers.
Blurry Photo Challenge. really old photos of Ross. Frances meyer Papers and various embellies.
Clear card Challenge . I made this using the packaging from some felt swirls I bought. Insert and 3d flowers made from K&Co papers

I have done 1 LO since last weekend but still have to take photos in decent light! As can be seen from the above (especially the "lots of cards" when I use the Flash in this place everything gets distorted!!

Buzzy bee.... or Busy anyway!!

I've been off work this week and did'nt get any scrapping done..... BUT...... this weekend is another story!

Well I have to admit It's mainly been cards again but at least I've been creative. It was the Cyber crop weekend over at Sugar-N-Spice and I've been playing along. So far I've made 13 (yes 13!) cards, 4 altered bottles and 1 LO! I've not taken good photos of everything yet, but here are the first few:

Wow it's been a while!

I did'nt realise it has been so long snce I updated my blog! Basically it's been a crazy few weeks, so somehow the time has been going really fast. The one good point is that I'm on vacation this week, so loads of time to get some things done ahead of Christmas.

I really need to work on my hand made cards (not everyone will be getting these this year as I just don't have the time), and I'll hopefully get loads of "on line" time as even if Ross wants the PC I can use Greg's lappy and Ross can have the desktop.

As far as creative stuff the last few weeks it has been restricted to cards for immediate use, so nothing to share! Who knows I may actually scrap at some point this week, especially if it keeps raining like this morning!

Two new LOs

I was off work today so had time to "play". The first LO was originally meant to be for a magazine call, but I realised i was too late to submit! Oh well I like the LO anyway and as it's for my BOM it goes perfectly with one of my recent themes..... ie trying to include myself in my scrapping a bit more!

I think the title asys it all.... BRING IT ON... 40! yup next year I hit 40, like my journaling says it's just a bit "scary"!! I'm not sure why whenever I take photos of my LOs indoors they look so uneven in colour! In real life this does not seem so "off"!

The second are just a few of the photos we took yesterday. I saw this idea first a few moths ago, then again recently on Charries photography blog (thanks hun your gorgeous photos gave me the reminder that I wanted to try this). Apologies for the "flash" and the slightly off colours I had to take this photo way after the light was gone!!


Well back to work tomorrow so I don't think I'll get to be having this kind of fun again!!
