I've missed these faces!

YAY! Reunited with our gorgeous daughter and her boyfriend after 3 months apart. They have been having the time of their lives volunteering with a group called Soft Power Education in Uganda. We've followed their blog and chatted on Skype but it's just not the same as having a hug! I plan to make the most of my time with them over the next 2 weeks we have together. Here's those little journal box and travel log stamps again from the Wanderful WOTG kit. I added the cute heart cluster from t…

Colouring in is so much fun!

I have always joked that my teaching degree was a Diploma in cutting and colouring. I studied in the pre-computer age and majored in early childhood education so I made a LOT of charts in my day. I LOVED it and always found colouring so restful. It's good to know some things don't change. With the introduction of the Shin Han Touch Twin Markers this month I can get my colouring fix once again. The markers come in 24 colours, feature a fine tip and a chisel tip on each pen and are blendable.…

Artistic Adventure Begins

It was so exciting to be part of the North American CTMH Convention in June. The stage looked gorgeous and changed each day. Mandy & I were able to have a quick photo on it the first day. I wanted a simple layout for these photos as it marks the beginning of the Convention chapter in my album.

The focus is on the Paper Fundamentals range in all my classes this month and this page features the Adventure Assortment (Z2032) of these papers. I just love the happy colours in it and chose Lagoon, H…

Big Kids

Our USA convention for Close To My Heart was held in Disneyland, California. A good friend and sister consultant, Mandy Ellery, travelled with me for the event. We added some time either side for fun. This page shows how brave we were going on the Tea Cups ride in Fantasyland. Neither of us like scary rides so we decided to be big kids and do all the tame rides. The newly released Paper Fundamentals are proving the perfect accompaniment for these photos. Their bright, shiny side adds some …

When is an owl not an owl?

When it's a cat!

This clever idea is one shared by a fellow consultant, Doris Taylor, at a recent consultant crop day. Having a tendency to crazy cat lady behaviours myself, I couldn't resist making up a couple for this card. I plan to send it to a lady I have recently met - I know we are going to become firm friends.
