Things that make you go 'oooohhhh......'
Found some gorgeous 'stickers' whilst shopping. From Accessorize for £2.50 you get 32 flowery resin spots - great for the centre of a flower or on their own. I do like finding potential crafty items in non-crafty places, don't you, lol !
Got two CJ layouts done this weekend. One for UKS Retailers called 'Pop' where we had to show our first pop idols. My first really serious interest in music was for Adam and the Ants. I liked Bay City Rollers when I was ten and I liked others after that, but the ones that really made me go 'ooooh' was Adam and the Ants. I liked them even more cos my Mum and Dad thought they were rubbish, lol.
The other CJ was for one on the BF Forum and this one was Kathy's called 'Stash Attack', where we had to use some of our favourite crafty bits. I could of filled a whole CJ on this subject just by myself, but llimited to just one layout I kept it simple.....
left hand side of layout and.....
the right hand side......(the bit of fibre hanging from the top of this page isn't part of my layout, lol - its from a tag on the sign in page)......
I am getting braver with my own handwriting too. Darren says its awful and difficult to read, but its mine and its me and I can't do much about it! At least the children will see a part of me on every layout and page I do that has my writing on it.
And, some of you may be surprised now, but I made a card! And I enjoyed making it too, so you might see some more from me, lol. This was a Confirmation card for my friends son. Now what do you do for a ten year old boy on his Confirmation?! So I just went with birdies and bright and lots of heat embossing!
My cards and my layouts, in fact anything I do, seems to come together if I doodle at the end. I just have to do some doodley frames or bits to finish it off. Harry said he liked it anyway, so thats what matters. Although it might have been the £10 note inside......hehe
I find that doodling does tend to finish a project off Caroline.
The card is funky and bright. I'm sure Harry liked it for the card and not just the tenner that was inside. :)

Fab CJ LOs Caroline - I remember going round to a friend's to listen to listen to Kings of the Wild Frontier. My mum and dad didn't like him either! The confirmation card looks great, bright funky colours and the doodling does add the perfect finishing touch - great job!
