Digital layout - Batwoman

Well am I good or what this week.... 3 posts in as many days hee hee. Hoping to get some challenge creations done tonight... planning a get down and get sticky session :D Would rather have a sticky bun right now but it's amazing how when you get absorbed in crafting you forget the thoughts of chocolate and all things sweet... great diet booster... well for me anyway.

I bought a new set of scales (having left my others with my pal Chriss for our weigh in sessions) couldn't resist them a bargain at just under £3 quid from Asda. Bargains should be banned I reckon cos I am just a sucker for them even if it's for something I don't really need (crafty bits being the exception though... they are a necessity aren't they?) Anyway as I haven't been able to pay Chriss my usual visit and feeling like I had been extra good this week on the NOT MUNCHING front I hopped on the scales to discover with glee that I have finally got below the next half stone goal and in total have now lost a whole 1st 8lb since January whoooohooooo
go me ... go me... go me eee eeee rofl

Don't really quite know where the fat has gone but hey who cares.... it's gone..whooohoooo. Not that I'm excited you understand ;-D

So on to today's crafty offering.... I find digi scrapping totally engrossing some days especially when I decide to make my own papers and embellies... which I did for this layout of DD dressed up for a girly night out recently (she's gonna kill me for showing it so if you know her keep shtum...lol) I did have a little help from some actions I got from Atomic Cupcake to make the flowers and knotted ribbons however and if you are into digi it's a fab place to visit!!

This layout is what REALLY prompted my jump onto the scales...lol... cos I soooooooo remember being as thin as DD and enjoying getting dressed up instead of dressing down to hide the rolls!! If I keep going though... as I intend to do... I will be able to wear something lush by the summer when the warm weather arrives.
Bring on summer!!
Have a great evening all

Digi Layout-blooming

wey hey hey.... looksee at me.... two layouts in no time at all, phew what's happening to me. Mojo's come back properly me thinks and I am sooo enjoying doing some layouts for a change. The new digi downloads from Cen's loft have certainly helped give me a boost and now June has some fab elements to go with all of the colour basics papers. Don't forget to go and get yours you won't want to miss them. This layout of DD is done with all different pieces from the downloads... the only addition is the wet chipboard alpha which is from free digital scrapbooking.
DD is changing all the time and I really love this photo of her... she looks so young sometimes despite being in her late 20's... she even still gets asked for i.d. when she goes out which doesn't always go down too well.... especially when all she is trying to do is buy a bottle of wine from the co-op lol
Have a great day all

Let's go paint the walls... digi layout

A little while ago the living room needed a face lift so out came the paint cans and this is what happened...lol

If you don't want a mess... or a bit of fun... then don't let the kids loose with the paintbrush :) DG is always eager to "help" and I was a bit unsure but he did a grand job, when we had almost finished he said "Nanna I've got paint on my face" but then it ended up on his t-shirt, hands and trousers (accidentally on purpose...lol) Thank goodness for play clothes!! He was kept amused for hours so I think I may let him help next time too.

I had a play at painting on my own with my wacom tablet for this layout and must say I probably had as much fun doing this as DG had while getting messed up... but best bit is I don't have to wash away my paint... took us ages to get it off DG. Though this could have been helped by the fact that he has an aversion to soap and water. Does that ever go away with boys I wonder...lol
