Plastic Bullet

After a couple of recommendations on The Paperclipping Roundtable I bought myself Plastic Bullet for the iPhone and had a play last night with some of the photos I already had stored on her and I love it already!

Wing Walkers at Duxford.

Alex the Lion at Houghton Mill.

John and I on the Seine.

Paris Again and The South Bank

This first one I've made as a Companion Piece (oh yes, I watch too much Project Runway!) to Paris Monmartre
. There were quite a few offcuts that I wanted to use up rather than refile in my paper box and potentially forget all about.



I also used the negative image that I accidentally created when inking a doily for a layout that I seem to have forgotten to post. Anyway, I kept the inked paper as I figured I could use it at some point!

I can see now that it is massively missing journalling, so I may have to sort that out.




These are some of the elephants that we saw on the South Bank (we're in London now) after our trip to Macbeth at the Globe. The little elephants were on a paper of zoo creatures that I original bought because it has giraffes on, but now I've used the elephants and the lions!

Melman in Glasgow

Here's Melman holding the umbrella for us when we got so wet in the grounds of Pollockshaws Country Park. He's such a helpful giraffe! I've used some of the giraffe print ribbon that he got for me from Michael's last week.

More layering practice!

I've started following Christine Middlecamp who is a genius at layering (not to mention on the DT for one of my favourite paper ranges, Crate Paper) and am especially impressed with this: Embellished Paper Doily. I have them all tagged in Delicious to read and study later.

John brought a Somerset Studio magazine back from the States and that is full of inspiring things. Makes me want to get a proper journal and start an Art Journal properly rather than just messing around at it.

Tatty 1 and Tatty 2

I'm trying to do more with layering, journalling and putting things together myself rather than following sketches all the time. I made this for the latest weekly challenge at UK Scrappers. I should have added a third colour to the background, it's missing some Shabby Shutters! It's just Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw



Tried to cluster some journalling boxes, first time of trying this.

Chopped up and coloured in one stamp to make a cluster. Never tried this either!

Duxford 2010

One of the pictures that Daddy took at Duxford on the Sunday. The wing walkers getting off the wings and back into the planes!

Blog Candy

There's some fabulous Birthday Blog Candy to be won over at Berrylicious... off you go! ;)

Peckover House Garden

Not so sunny today, thank goodness, can enjoy garden.

Junkers 52

Going home after Duxford! Seen from back garden!

Wing Walkers!

Car Boot 5

The sample book of buttons. All stitched to the pages with elastic.
This book isn't full, there's all sorts of random fixing samples in
the back. Half zips, stiffeners, small fabric patches etc. I don't
think they'll be usable. The fabric is probably too small even for
flowers.

The buttons are good though!!

Car Boot 4

The sample book of lace. These are also stuck down on both ends, but
there's a book full of all kinds.

Car Boot 3

Small lengths of ribbons and trims. All are stuck to card, so have
glue on either end. Still, that won't matter in a lot of cases if just
a small piece is used on a layout.

Car Boot 2

Selection of button examples, only one of each, although they are in
sets of style or sizes of the same colour. Picture doesn't do justice
to the prettiness of the colours!

Car Boot 1

These are the beads Daddy found at a car boot sale! One of each, all
samples.

Evening Sky

Listening to The Real Thing in the distance, smelling a BBQ and
watching Mr Next Door water toms.
