If you are not familiar with the Trimcraft site please have a look.
I was kicking myself for forgetting to take my camera with me. Not a mistake I will repeat. There was so much that deserved to be photographed.
I have been a Trimcraft member since they first opened a website for crafters and have always felt a sense of loyalty to the brand. I was delighted to be chosen as part of their Design Team and now that I have met the Trimcraft staff and some other members of the DT my loyalty is now totally theirs. They are the nicest group you could ever wish to meet. The company is also extremely generous to its supporters and DT.

Lovely daughter.

This 12x12 LO is of my daughter some years ago. I liked the photo so decided to use it.

Autumn card

It has been a long time since I posted to my blog. Time to get going again. This is my latest card. It is an 8x8" easel card. Most of the leaves are diecuts from the dies that came with issue 11 Crafters Companion magazine. The large two are cuttlebug dies. The backing paper behind the owl image is from the 6x6" Falling Leaves pad by First Edition. The owl image and other elements arefrom my stash, I'm afraid all details have been lost in the mists of time.

squirrels in the park

Made this today using gold texture paste I got for £1 in a sale. I used some Tim Holtz  masks and some sequin waste, plus a gears die, IndigoBlu word stamp and Tim Holtz clock die.

Family LOs

These are just a few of my recent LOs.When I find them I will add more.

deco cards

It is my husbands birthday today and this is his card from me.

I did this LO to celebrate my recent retirement. It was great going to the park on a  morning when I would have been working.

I won this stamp from Docrafts FB page. They are really fun to colour and are perfect for watercolours or pencils

new folders

I recently bought these gorgeous Couture Creations folders and have been trying them out. The first two are embossed onto watercolour paper, and the other 2 are done on heavy foil cut from a foil food container. I have used watercolours and pens on the first two, and alcohol inks and permanent markers on the foil. I also added stickles onto the wings.

Claire

Having added a very old LO of my daughter, this one is more recent, only about 12 years ago, give or take a year, lol.

Sunny and Claire

This LO is a 12x12 of my daugter age 3 and our much loved Sheltie, Sunny. He lived up to his name and was the sweetest of dogs.The pic is about 29 years ago , so unbelievable that it  has gone so fast. Getting old.

wedding LO.

Having done the boxed frame wedding LO put me in the mood to do another for a 12x12 album.Its a shame the pics are a,, black and white but I like these colours together. My dress was purple so that was the reason for choosing the main colour.

Wedding pic. LO.

I was given a 12x12 box frame (from The Range) and was finally inspired to fill it with this LO. I was glad to have found a way to display the roses without flattening them.The wedding was  1971. We eloped as we were finding it difficult to see each other as we lived far apart.( Scotland and London). We had tried to tell our folks that we didn't want a big white wedding, a long time in the future. They thought we were too young at 19. We are now 60 and still love oneanother.
