'Cool' @ 42 Birthday!

Making the most of the football being on, I've grabbed the opportunity to get some extra crafting time in! Here is a layout of pictures from my birthday earlier this month using a mixture of my Scrapagogo kits (plus my own black doilie). I created a film strip with the June kits stamp and thought the letter set blended in nicely with the colour of the paper which also matched perfectly with the orange from the Ice Cream logo.

I felt very decadent drinking a glass of wine at lunchtime at The Waterfront Bistro & Bar (centre picture)!  After a wonderful meal with Paul we met the boys and headed off to one of my favourite places, The Little Ice Cream Company on Felixstowe Sea Front, for dessert. 

Later that evening I blew out candles on a cake that Joshua had bought me.  Not having the right numbers for the candles he turned the '5' back to front which apparently is the same as a '2'!  I'm not so sure but was very touched by the thoughtfulness, fun and kindness!

Below are the little 4x4 thank you cards I made for the lovely gifts I received! I absolutely love the Stampin' Up! 'Pedal Presents' bike and the 'Up Up and Away' balloons stamps; hopefully the card recipients will too!  As usual the quality of the stamps and inks are outstanding!

 I received my monthly kit this morning from Scrapagogo and should by rights use it for my full day and evening crafting at Create & Co tomorrow.  But ........... I just couldn't resist having a little play!!!!  And such fun I had.  Sadly, my mobile phone just doesn't do the gorgeous papers justice.  Or the picture of the very special Annie, Martha and Scarlett.  Three very wonderful little ladies that I love very much indeed!  Anyway, this is the layout I came up with from the April Blueprint.  I filled the gorgeous jar with hearts and glitter (also known as fairy dust!).  Again, this doesn't show up on the picture.  I'm hoping to get a nice camera for my birthday that will take much clearer pictures.  Roll on June!

Crop Day tomorrow! Yippee!




I'm really looking forward to my crop day tomorrow at Martlesham. If I was there from start to finish, I could actually get 12.5 hours crafting time in. Well, a little allowance has to be made for chatting, eating and tea making but you must agree there's a pretty decent amount of cropping going to be happening tomorrow! I've attached a picture of the page I did of my lovely lovely friend Lys, using a mixture of some now retired Stampin' Up papers and other odds and ends from my stash. It's one of my favourite pages! I'll add some pictures of what I do tomorrow sometime soon, so long as I achieve more crafting than talking and laughing!

Here is a double spread I did at my scrapettes weekend in Norfolk.
