St Pauls Cathedral

On my way back to the station tonight, I passed St Pauls Cathedral (as always) but today it was still quite light. I thought I'd try taking some pictures from the bus. Most were just blurry messes but this one, I think, came out really well. I like the way the rain outside and on the bus window distort the image, and thought it quite "arty" :)

Sunrise

I wanted to share this photograph with you.
I was walking to the station the other morning @ 6.45am and loved the light though the trees of the sun coming up. I took this pic really quickly with my i-phone and when I looked at it on the train, was surprised with the orange globe hovering over the street.
It's the streetlamp but I love the way the photo has caught the light and the glow of the orange and made it look like its just floating in the air.



It reminded me of Harry Potter, waiting for Dumbledore to put out the lights.

Here come the girls - Scrapaholix February kit

This months kit used Rub-onz which is a product for creating your own images, like Safmat.
I used the images provided with the kit to add the flourishes.

The LO was based on two February Page Maps.







The scalloped edge was created using my new Martha Stewart deep edge punch - I LOVE IT! :)

I already had my title in mind before these photos were taken. I wanted to have a series of images of us, Lynn, Denise and I, walking towards the camera but, as usual, the battery run out on my Lumix with rapid shot! Robert made a valiant effort with his mobile phone but the images were too blurry to use. I was only able to use the two as above. Never Mind - next time.

Valentines Day

Yes, I have been spoiled again today. A dozen beautiful red roses plus chocolates were delivered this morning.
I know it's all commercial etc etc etc, but let's face it girls - who wouldn't be happy to receive these :)

Julie's Workshop

Lynn, Jill and I went to Julie Hickey's workshop today in Horley.
We had a fabulous time as always and here are some photo's of us beavering away.












Jill and Lynn














Julie with Jill, and me :)

This is one of the projects we made, all with the beautiful CWC products. It's the first time I've made an easle card and think its very effective.






Thanks Julie, another great workshop!

Martha Stewart Goodies

QVC had a TSV on Wednesday last week and I just couldn't resist. Here's what I got.










The value was outstanding as each set had a "round the page" punch set, a deep border punch and an image punch with 3 stamps in the top.
Here are the 2 sets along with a circle cutter I also bought. It's really clever the central disc rotates and has holes like a spirograph into which you put the blade and turn to create perfect circles. Will let you know how it works later!

Thought i'd share one of the first pages I made.
I got the idea from watching a Rosemary Merry hour on QVC and loved the way the photographs were laced together.
