MME Blog Challenge

I did this LO for My Minds Eye Blog challenge. I loved doing a double page LO for a change! The challenge was to the Page Map sketch and the LO had to be 80 % MME product.

I used the following MME products : 29th Street Market, a bit of their Out and About Range, and Bohemia embossed chipboard.

Here is the sketch

RAK .... Your Favourite Quotes in return for some RAK

Seeing as though I have had my blog for a year now, I thought it would be a good time to give a little RAK away in celebration of this !!! All you need to do is post one of your favourite quotes here (One which you don't mind me or anyone else using on a Layout), and link this post you your blog....

I will draw the RAK winner at the end of next week (15 Aug 2009) Thanks for playing along.

First Canvas

I have finally got around to doing my first canvas... I had so much fun messing around with this. Started off , inking, then painting and then stamping with paint. I finished it off with Glossy Gel Medium.

OLW # 57 - Sweet

I have not played along with OLW for ages, there is just never enough time to everything now is there !! I love the inspiration on this site. This weeks word is SWEET over at OLW, this is my take on it.

Monthly Crop

It seems that the only time I get to post on my blog is after our monthly crop. This is so bad, normally I fit in loads of creative time during the month too, but lately I have been a little OCD on house work and Ironing that I have not done anything for me...
I am still on leave this week so I intend doing loads more.

I took these photo's of Aidan and Chips. There is always a special bond between Aidan and his pets, that's the way it has been for 10 years and that's the way it will be for ever and a day. Chips is very special, she is our first pet here in the UK, it has been nearly 2 years since we left South Africa, the trauma of having to find homes for our animals we had there has not gone away with Aidan. There is not a week that goes by the he has not asked after his other cat Teddy. So Chips is special to him, and him to her.....
