Easter 2010 Layout - RM00050

Here is a layout I have created digitally using Sharon's RM00050-Easter 2010 layout files. I have added styles and textures to the files to add dimension. I also reused the Eggs from the files to have some hiding in the grass and some in the basket.

This collection is just perfect for creating a special layout celebrating this Easter.

I love the little lamb with his curly coat! but this collection also includes the basket, eggs, cute little chickie and the title!

Thanks for looking!

More Sewing :) and BIG NEWS

Recently my daughter (Rebekah) and son-in-law (Chris) became Aunt and Uncle for the first time to Chris's sister new baby. I have spent some of the last week making a cute little Dollie for Adelaide that is safe for a little one.

Isn't she cute!

And now.... for the BIG NEWS!!

Rebekah and Chris are expecting a little one of their own! They have been trying for ages (over 4 yrs) , been through surgery, a million tests, and registered for IVF and suddenly!!!!!

They are only seven weeks at the moment so it is early days, but I can't wait any longer to share the fantastic news that I am going to be a Nanna!! Rebekah is already fed up with morning sickness but the Dr told her that this is a sign of a strong pregnancy, so she feels a little better now :)

I am so excited for them and us! I still cannot believe that we are finally getting to be Grandparents :)

Have a great day wherever you are!

New installment for Easter freebie

Thank you to Ginger, Robbie and Lisa who left me comments on my sewing :) That was a lovely surprise to open up this morning. Nicholas comes home tomorrow night so will finally see his jumper, and he and Gary are going out fishing on Monday, so maybe they will wear them out together then LOL

Here are the last installments for my Sweet Easter Kit. I have posted both links that are still outstanding so that you have the whole kit to use for your Easter photos. Please feel free to email me with your use of my kits, I love seeing my work used rather than just adding to your collection of freebies LOL

Not paper related!

I was in two minds whether to post this here or my other Blog, this one won out as this is mainly where I share my creative stuff. It has been AGES since I have done anything crafty much that didn't involve paper and card. I cut these jumpers/sweatshirts out last Easter (as in 2009) and it has taken 12 months for me to get around to finally putting them together.

Doesn't Gary look very commanding.... or daft! depending on your thoughts LOL

This is the jumper for Nicholas. He has grown so much in 12 months that I added bands on the sleeves and the body to take this into account. He isn't here at the moment so I had to use his school jumper as a pattern for length so hopefully this will be perfect with some growing room!

Wondering on the choice of fabric.... they are constructed from Polar Fleece and the pattern chosen by my bug-mad son! I bought enough to make Nicholas a jumper and a blanket, but Gary decided he wanted a jumper to match, so no blanket ! LOL

Can't wait to see the looks as they wear these out of the house. I made Gary a jumper a few years ago with brightly coloured cats all over it, and he wore it everywhere. He received many raised eyebrows LOL

Have a great day wherever you are!

Sketch Challenge at Visual Designs by Chris and the More Team

Visual Designs by Chris and the More team is also holding a Sketch Challenge in their Forum. You get a sketch for inspiration and also free cutter files (Klic-N-Kut, Pazzles, Cricut etc) to help you with your layout.

Here is my layout. I have used CD00520-Ribbon3, CD00557-Bone Jumble and CD00685-Beloved Pet (not in the Store just yet) for this layout. These are some pics of our gorgeous boxer, Mollie!
