I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kristy for her wonderful designs.  They are versatile and always of an amazing quality.  Check out her store HERE.

I have finished with the same design I used on the 1st Feb, although this time I have used the precolured version, layered onto paper from "Steampunk Papers 1"

The sentiment comes with the Lizzy kit, I have added diecut cogs and a large glitter butterfly compeltes another little notebook.

Birthday Flowers

The image on this card is from Robyn's Fetish Store and is called Flowering Limb.

Thought I would try something different.  I printed the image twice, once for a background and then again to colour small amounts which I then diecut using a stitch circle die.   Stamped the sentiment and mounted it onto some distressed cardstock.

Gertie Goose Pie

It's nearly the end of February and the end of my Guest designing place for "Imagine That's" Facebook Group for February.  If you haven't joined this group, join up and have lots of fun.  Imagine That Face Book Group.

As you know I love using Kristy's kits and images, for many reasons.  Check out her store HERE.

I can print and colour, print precoloured, I can print an image on a background and use as a mask, I can colour by hand and also digitally and I can create digital pages. ways.

The cute image and papers are from the Gertie Goose Pie.  Now I will be the first to admit, my mind sometimes works in mysterious ways.  When I chose this image, I immediately thought of using her in one of my recipe scrapbooks. (One for savoury and one for sweets) they have drawings, jokes, sketches, images and recipes.  A bit of everything really.

Did I want her for my savoury recipe book, no, when I read the title of the image, my mind said "Gertie Gooseberry Pie" lol.   Gooseberries are difficult to get is Australia now adays, when they are available it is around Christmas Time.  My paternal grandmother introduced my to these berries and Dad and I always had them in pies at Christmas time.  I have added the precoloured versions to an information page in my book, which is very important, now I know where the contact details are kept. No embellishments this book is used in the kitchen.

The reason I love using Kristy's kits and images, is the versatility they embody.  Kits come with images, both outline jpg and png, sentiments and quite often digital papers.  Check out her store HERE.

I can print and colour, print precoloured, I can print an image on a background and use as a mask, I can colour by hand and also digitally and I can create digital pages. ways.

Another notebook with an altered cover (I am making these for a child's charity).  This time Gertie is dressed in her brightest red.  The background paper came with the kit and all have been printed at the shop.  The sentiment is one that comes in the kit.

A Day at the Races

Hubby had to work, so my daughter, son in law, grandson and I went to a country Picnic Race Day.  Wonderful weather, having lots of fun, not winning much and the phone rings  ring ring ring!

Hello says I, "I've cut myself at work" says hubby.   Oh no! (have to explain if my husband rings to say he has cut himself, you know it is bad, REAL bad.  He is driving one handed to hospital, but not the closest because in his frantic rush leave work, he forgot about another hospital closer.

By the time we get to the hospital they are stitching him up, quite a few stitches in fact.  But he is brave even if grumpy by this time, he had a long wait.  He said I'll be OK and drove himself home.   Oh well! think of the money we saved by having to leave early.

Mini Notebook

I gave away my last little notebook to a little girl who saw it on the kitchen table.  So I thought it is time I made another,  This one has 2 side pockets and a top pocket as well.

These are great for tucking in your bag, the pages are 3.5 x 2.5 inches, the cover slightly bigger. So so easy to make with my Scor-pal, scor the paper and concertina the pages and you are nearly there.
