I love altering or making note books and free with the February issue of Docrafts Creativity magazine was a diary ...

This is how it looked

... and this is it now

Much prettier don't you think? And I got to use up some of my scraps

The team have some more lovely projects to share with you up on the CCCB Blog ... Hop over and take a look.

Once again the winner of the challenge will be given a Guest Design spot with us so lets see you get creative this week and link up your beautiful note books at

Wishing you a lovely day

Our Beautiful World

Hello ...

It's time for a new word prompt at Our Beautiful World

Milagros has chosen for us this week ... Her prompt is

Rainbow

There is something magical about a rainbow don't you think? No matter how many I've seen throughout my life ... they still hold a fascination 

It's so easy to live in a bubble ... feet on the ground, head filled with day to day stuff...

 Taking a moment to stop and look at a rainbow is taking a pause ... the mind falls silent for a while. We look up to the sky and witness this beauty in the universe both of which have no beginning and no end ... A colourful reminder that we are tiny parts of something so great, so vast ...  

We are not just the road, the house, the life we live... We are part of something so much more ... We are so much more

So if you are driving along ... maybe a little frustrated or anxious as the rain pours down and suddenly a rainbow appears ... remember to take a little pause and breathe ...

Even in the darkest of skies magic happens ... and in the great scheme of things our troubles are small

Link up with us at 

Our Beautiful World

And have a beautiful day

Spring Lambs

Friday is here once again ...

The week has flown by don't you think

I was at the club last night though it was not me doing the project this week ... I don't do them every week now because it is so much work but I thought you'd like to see the last project I did for them ... A little notebook and a card for Spring

Now I can't take the credit for this design ... It was something I had bookmarked a long time ago

from the talented Jak Heath

I can tell you that even with the help of my friend Pat, it took hours and hours to cut out all those pieces for a group of 20+ people 

And given that they are Special Needs ... we decided that it would be best to assemble the faces for them to just stick on ... there were eyes flying everywhere! I make life difficult for myself don't I ...

Next week we are going to do box cards that I'm seeing at lot of lately ... I thought they'd be nice for Mother's Day which is on the 30th of this month ... not that many of them still have a Mum but they can use their own sentiment

You can guess what I'll be doing this weekend then ... cutting and punching and cutting and punching

I hope you have a lovely weekend ...

Till soon take care

Mwah!

Ok... Call me crazy

This is a quick second post ... 

Another very CAS card for CAS.ology

Seeing as how my DH has been out in the wind tidying the garden ... A little Thank You 

It doesn't get any simpler!

Kissing card ... yeh, I'm crazy

CAS.ology Challenge

Hi there!

There's a cold wind today though at least we have sunshine ... The daffodils are taking a battering and the forecast is another cold spell going to -8C ... Not looking forward to that!

But hey, I know a lot of you have struggled with worse weather this winter

The Cue card this week at CAS.ology is Blush

That makes me feel a bit warmer ... So here's a quick card that I put together

A little bit of stamping in both distress stain (spun sugar) and Archival (platinum planet) ink to mimic the strip of paper cut from a page

I die cut the stars and they somehow remind me of star fish looking at them now

I found it hard not to add a little more here but the challenge is CAS ... well it was simple

I hope you're having a good day

Stay safe ... and warm

Till soon
