Lucky Me

I am such a lucky girl, back in September I topped up my mobile phone and got my O2 surprises code. I kind of forgot about it for a a week then thought I'd just see what I'd won. Usually it's free picture messaging or free calls to another O2 customer, not anything I use. This time I won a laptop,, wow wow, wait a minute a laptop? This sort of thing doesn't happen to me, so I waited and sure enough two days later it arrived. Imagine that! My excitement was very short lived, it was scratched on the top and actually a reconditioned model. I know I didn't pay money for it but if I had surely they have to say its reconditioned. I contacted O2 who actually use another company for the distribution of the prizes, it took two months for them to sort it out. Finally last week this arrived.
I've spent loads of time transferring all my files from my other laptop, which will shortly be put up for sale.
On the crafting front a couple of weeks ago pencil lines had they 4th birthday challenge and went retro to celebrate. The DT's favourite past sketches were shown and we were challenged to have a go. Sketch number 1 was used and this is the page I made.
I didn't link it in time, due to me taking too long to get the photos to the right size. I still wanted to show it.

WOW - so great to hear that someone really does win a decent (at least on the 2nd attempt) prize from time to time ... I normally win a week's free internet access even though my phone can't do that!

This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued

Vine Tutorial

On Monday morning I took part in the UKScrappers blog hop , who would have predicted the response to the flowers I had made for the layout. In particular the rose vine. I was flabbergasted, but promised I would let everybody know how I had done it. If anybody does make one of these vines please could you credit me and if posted in a blog I would appreciate a link back to me. I was absolutely inspired by the gorgeous Prima vines , I have purchased many but due to the cost they remain in my stash, I am too frightened to use them because they are not cheap. They fall into the category of  'waiting for a special projrect'. This made me challenge myself to see if i could make something similar.  Firstly you will need to gather your supplies Florist wires florist paper tape paper flowers - they need to have a 'tail' on them, I used these card stock to make leaves either a leaf punch or die to cut leaves, I used these distress ink   Cut as many leaves as you
