Family Moments

Hi...

My first page with a new kit... whoop whoop.  There's no better feeling than starting a new kit with all its beautiful patterned pages and embellies!  Although cutting into said papers is always hard!

 
This has been put together using the LIKE FOR EVER October 2015 Kit ~ 'Hello Beautiful', this kit is comprised of the Maggie Holmes SHINE Collection by Crate Paper. The background paper is called 'Divine' which I have added sequins and ink splatters to.
 
sequins and splatters in yellow, pink and gold

Thickers are by 'Freckled Fawn' (yellow puffy), the 'MOMENTS' is from the chipboard sticker sheet and the 'THE' is from the 'American Crafts' glittered letter stickers pack


The 'together' is also from the 'American Crafts' glittered letter stickers pack

 
Happy Crafting
 
 
Blah... blah... blah...

Rolling On...

Hello Everyone...
 
I've finally gotten over my 'feeling sorry for myself' phase and have decided to spend some time online.  As you may or may not know I have Progressive Multiple Sclerosis which quite frankly is a bitch!  It has been difficult lately to get my head around... grieving for the lose of the old me and accepting the new (not so improved) me! I have my ups and downs along with anyone else who is coping with a long term health condition... my depression set in when I had to accept that I could no longer walk with just the aid of my crutches but have to use a 'rollator' (an old persons walker to you and me!), the last few months have been hard :(
 
But I'm over my sulking and am using the 'rollator' like a good 'un...

My share today is my final page with one of my LIKE FOR EVER kits (due to my 'funk' they are now growing into enormous piles that is beginning to rival the Blackpool Tower!  The craft room is looking like some kind of pizza delivery warehouse with all those pizza boxes stacked high in uneven piles of crafty scrumminess ~ a sensible person would cancel their subscription, but HEY... I never said I was 'sensible'!).
 
I made this page LAST YEAR (!?*) and never got around to posting about it... so here goes...
 
 
This is layout number 12 with this kit from LIKE FOR EVER ~ it's the September kit called 'Acorn Avenue', the kit consisted mostly of Pink Paislee's 'Cedar Lane' collection.


Killed?  Oh yes...
 
Well and truly finished... now for all those pizza boxes...
 
but first some close ups...
 




 
 


 
 
NEXT!!!
