New Layouts to Share

Just finished a layout about Taylors visit to the Teddy Factory for this 9th birthday (can't believe this is a year ago next week, as he turns 10 on the 24th February) for the Fiskars ambassadors blog using 2 product ranges - Heidi Grace Urban Acres & Oh So Moody product ranges with a couple of Heidi Grace papers from the Meadow flowers pack.

Love how all the product ranges go so well together. Used my Fiskars clear stamps for the first time (birthday set).....wow they are lovely quality and stamp so cleanly and clearly....used them to create the little birthday cake instead of using the word birthday. Stamped it twice on scraps of the papers I was using. Once on blue and once on cream....then cut out the cake layers from the cream and layered them on top of the blue with magic mount to give a 3D effect. For a little extra impact I used gel pens on the candles - white & orange.

Also sharing another layout about Taylor.....this one is a close up picture of him in 2006 when he got his permanent two front teeth....look how big they look!!! This layout will be used for something very special that I can't tell you about just yet....but its something I am very excited about....so drop back soon to find out more. Hope to share news by end of the weekend.

Well off to get myself looking glamourest (it takes longer these days!!!). Bruce and I are out tonight for dinner with 6 of our best mates for Valentines Day. (my 2 boys and I had a date last night with a picnic at a local outdoor concert). But tonight, Taylor is off to Gran's so Bruce and I can go out for a great meal, good wine and lots of laughs with some friends who weren't fortunate enough to have a babysit for the actual night .......should be great fun....

Not planning on getting up too early in the morning (do I ever!!!). Its raining cats and dogs here at present (but we need it) so could be an excuse to spend the day in the scrap room if this weather continues...or maybe a movie - this something we love to do as a family on a grotty day.
