SPEED SCRAP ALERT

- EVEN IF YOU'RE IN THE UK LOL!! I don't usually take part in speed scraps because the time difference usually just doesn't work for me for one reason or another with two little kiddies running around but I'VE FOUND ONE I CAN DO!!! It's at a forum celebrating their re-opening called DESIGNING MOMENTS. There's two speed scraps going on tomorrow - one at 9.30pm GMT/4.30pm EST and one at 9pm EST and they will last for an hour each. They're going to be hosted by Pretty Pixels & a goodie will be issued! So set a reminder in your email programme & come & join me in some fun!! I can't wait for my 1st speed scrap lol

I just had to post this exciting news! Pretty Pixels has yet another store! This one is at Designing Moments & to celebrate the grand opening she is having a HUGE sale until 30th October:

Yet Another CT!!!

My lo's seem to be popular at the moment lol! I am now part of Tanyia's Pretty Pixels CT permanantly! I did a guest spot back in August & September which was just before Tanyia had a small break from designing - now she's back with avengance! I just happened to pass over the Pretty Pixels blog on Sunday and the rest shall we say is history :o)
If you are interested in joining the Pretty Pixels CT then check out Sunday's post by Tanyia here - if not then check out the HUGE retirement sale she's got going on at Digital Candy - 10 items for .99cents each, which includes FIVE FULL KITS!!! You can find the deals on page 6 & Page 7 of Tanyia's store - there really is something for everyone :)

Onto some news from The Digi Twins - they've recently released SIX new alphas! I used one called 'Falling Leaves' in this new recipe card I've made:

All the papers & elements are from 'Recipe For Fun' also by The Digi Twins.

Some Good News!

On the 6th I blogged and showed you a lo I did as application to Duchess Designs CT. Well...I am now Lady Ellie of the royal CourT!! Check out the awesome blinkie in my sidebar! I'm really excited to be a part of this CT as I found the Duchess Designs blog not long after I started digi scrapping in January & have been a BIG fan ever since! You can check out Duchess Designs here she has recently released a couple of 'Blog {pax}' - a super simple way to get your blog looking awesome with one of her kits.
So because I'm so keen, I've already done two lo's for the CT. The first is called 'Sugar & Spice' & features my daughter Caitlyn. The second is called 'He's Off' & was for the 'In The Box' challenge at Get Digi With It (a relatively new shop & forum) & it features my son Zach.
Here's 'Sugar & Spice':

Because Of You...

is a song sung by the one & only Meat Loaf. My dad introduced me to Meat Loaf's music & I've been a fan ever since - there's always one of his albums in my kitchen cd player lol! Anyway Meat Loaf's song 'Because Of You' inspired me to do this lo of my husband & myself on our wedding day. The lyrics are truly beautiful & if you're interested you can listen to the song here (there's a little player on the right hand side)let me know if you like it! I hope you like my lo & the song :)

Credits here on my lo at DST, I used entirely supplies from The Digi Twins (except the font)
Do you know any Meat Loaf fans? It's kind of hard to find any here in the UK lol

As always, tfl x

Another lo

Not much happening in the world of me today, although it has finally stopped raining where I am in the UK - YAY! My kiddies have been driving me crazy this morning so I took some time out while they were having their naps & did a lo to apply for a CT spot with Duchess Designs. It's using part of the mini kit, 'Kooper'. The alpha is called 'Crayon'. It features my son, Zach. The photo was taken at his Great Nan's house in August.

As always,
thanks for reading :)

I Can't Believe...

It's very nearly been a whole month sice I last blogged! I'm not very good at this am I? lol
So I've been doing lo's here and there when time allows as I currently need eyes in the back of my head as my 10mth old son has started walking! He took his first steps back in August but then didn't do anymore until September - now we can't stop him lol! He also has some more teeth coming through & so is not the happiest baby in the world - especially at night! My toddler Caitlyn is having less tantrums but is becoming more indecisive by the day - first she want's help, then she want's to do it herself & she switches between the two until I finally give up & leave her to it or I've had enough & just do whatever it is for her lol She is also in the 'helping' stage - especially when it comes to cooking! I let her help as much as I can so I should have some cute photos to scrap soon :)
Anway back to scrapping - I'll only show you a couple of my most recent lo's - I don't want to bore you any further if you're still reading lol & then there's news of a SALE!!

Here is my most recent lo called 'Pure Innocence'
