Nan’s 80th Birthday

It’s my Nan’s 80th Birthday this month, so I’ve finally managed to get crafting and make her card.

 

 

I have used one of Mum’s stamped images she got from the Retreat and backed it onto purple & green card with some patterned paper from a paper stack.

I’m not sure where the flowers and foliage are from, just something I found in my craft stash.

 

I have used white patterned cardstock, it has embossed birds and dots on it.

 

 

I have finished the card off with ‘Happy 80th Birthday’ using silver peel-offs.

Twycross Zoo

Me and Pete had a day off last Tuesday, so we decided to go to Twycross Zoo…

There were alot of different monkey species, this one was happy playing with a blanket!! :-)

I thought these penguins were really cute, they were following each other by walking around in a line!!

 

 

We went to the elephant enclosure and saw the baby! He’s only 1 year old so has got alot of growing to do!!

 

Not sure what this one was doing – perhaps she was just resting her legs!!

 

 

Sorry, but I had to put this one on – if you look closely you can see that Mr Giraffe is quite pleased to see Mrs Giraffe!!! Hehe!! :-) 

 

 

And here’s a cheeky chimp having a little rest with his blanket.

 

 

We had a great day out with the sun shining and no rain – however we did get attacked by thunder bugs and I was silly enough to wear a bright yellow top!! :-)

My Journal Wrecking!

I’ve had my Journal for a few months, and now that I’m online I can start blogging it… 

As you can see, it’s quite full (and I’ve not even done half of the pages yet!!)

This is one of the first pages I did – Me and Donna raided the stationery cupboard at work!!

 

 

 

 

I love this page, firstly I drew around my hand in random places.

Then I coloured them in to show the different hands in watercolour crayons, which gave it a lovely effect.

 

 

I used Crayola Metallics for this, as you can see I have just doodled all over the page!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need to finish some more pages off, then I will add them on!!
