productivity

had a lovely day at the frozen north crop at holystone yesterday. it was very busy and the amount of stash in the room was utterly hilarious LOL i managed 3 lo's which isn't a great deal for me but one of them involved an awful amount of hand cutting :-)the first one is so not me but i did it for a challenge. when i was at the Sarah's cards retreat i sat next to Rachael who was using these papers and i loved the lo's she was making. we laughed because it took her two days to stick anything down and i challenged her to a speedy lo and she challenged me to a fussy cutting lo with a lot of faffing around so here it is. i cut the birds and branches out then fiddled with all the other bits and bobs. it's so not my normal style but it's absolutely beautiful. so thanks for the challenge Rachael i just might faff around on my lo's a bit more in the future :-)

the photo is a really recent one of me and dad at the falkirk wheel, taken by the official photographer, i love this one cos i can see how much weight i've lost. and no i didn't dye my hair to match my coat LOL

this one is made with the girls paperie papers i've been stroking for ages LOL the little rubber duckie was on the hot tub at our lodge in strathyre. if duckie was on the steps the staff hadn't been round to clean the tub but if he was on the tub it was all clean :-)

this is the lo i did for this weeks challenge over on uks. it's a complete scrap lift of the lo nora did in the creative craft world design team leaflet and i loved it. the kit is gorgeous too so much so i would like another set of the papers as both sides of the papers were gorgeous :-)

i do have another lo to show but i can't show it just yet. my team is setting the weekly challenge over on uks the week starting the 23rd of April and it's for that. it's another one i'm totally in love with so can't wait to be showing it off LOL
