The papers are all My Minds Eye which I have layered with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock.
I have used my Sizzix Filmstrip die behind the main image, and also some Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon. The little photos are one of the accessory stamps that come with Photo Kaylee, along with the Smile sentiment.

Long time no post....

So sorry for being such an awful blogger....no update for almost 2 weeks....I think that may well be a record for me. Life here is a little hectic as we have been frantically trying to finish off the kitchen. We are now fully tiled, and are just on the finishing touches to the painting. We will be finished by the end of the week....

So here are some cards I made for the new digi release over on All That Scraps...
Hope to be back blogging regularly in early September....when the kids are back in school. I hope you are all enjoying your Summer Holidays.

Some Odd Girl...

I am so pleased to announce that Kristy has let me stay on the DT for another term...which makes my heart happy as I adore these images.

Here are a few cards featuring some of the new images...coming Monday!

Professor Hoot
 Cheer Kaylee
Come back later as I have another card to show...

Sorry I have not been updating here this past couple of weeks. We have had/are having a new kitchen fitted and life is upside down right now. Slowly things are returning to normal, but I never realised how much stuff I had to put away in the new kitchen...and so many decisions on where to put things....I will come back with pics of it, but not until the tiling has been done to the floor and walls....floor is due to go down on Sunday....YAY!
