Ooops, I Did It Again...

... it's been nearly a month again since I blogged!! Goodness, where does the time go?

First of all, a huge thanks to the lovely Lynne for giving me my first ever blog award! Now, I have to nominate others ... who to pick!! I suppose, the blogs I visit most often:








... and my good friend, Kim, who has finally joined the world of blogging! Yay!


I love all your blogs, ladies, so thanks for all the interesting reading. This is what you need to do:

1. Add the logo to your blog.
2. Link to the person from whom you received this award.
3. Nominate 7 or more blogs.
4. Leave a message on their blog, letting them know they are “One Lovely Blog.

Also, Annelie has challenged me to a photo post; the 6th photo in my 6th photo folder...however, I have lots of subfolders, so I just kept going through picking the 6th folder until I got to a photo, and this was it, pure and unadulterated (in other words, no photoshop!!). Just me, no idea how old I am, having a bath. Obviously enjoying it! One of the very few photos from my childhood.


So there you go. Now, I need to nominate 6 others to do the same, just post the 6th photo in your 6th folder on your blog, then nominate 6 more people:

Liz

Danice

Serena

Sandra

Kim

and Lynne.

Ok, now for some scrapping stuff. A couple of weeks ago I posted the following layout for Scrappin' Patch, with instructions showing how to make the tissue paper flowers using Glimmermist. I had lots of fun painting the Prima Paintable with Twinkling H2Os, and I even tucked a bit of the Glimmermisted tissue paper between the Paintable and the scalloped border. It looks very cool IRL; I was very happy with how the flowers turned out; give it a try yourself one day - and show me the results if you do!

Here is a close-up of the flowers (only the pink and blue ones); if you want the technique for making these, go visit Scrappin' Patch on the blog or forum.

Ok, that's all for today; I'm off to dinner with DH tonight, while the lovely Kim looks after Aurelia and gives us some time to ourselves, yay! Looking forward to getting a bit glammed up, actually. Might even get Kim to take some photos...

Have a good one!

Thank you so much for the award, Tracy! :) :)

What a gorgeous LO! The flowers are very funky.

Am a member of Scrappin Patch, just haven't had much time available to hang out there recently. Will have to head over and learn how to make some of these flowers for myself.

Hope you had a fabulous time last night too.
