friends

so far 2011 has been a tough year emotionally for me and i have begun to realise that having friends around to help you through these tough times means so much

so a big thank you to my friends 

who have stuck by me this year so far and lent me a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen with

here's a layout i did recently using the greenhouse gala papers from stampin up

party this way stamp set and those cute little rough type alphabet letters.

I added some felt flowers and a bit of hodgepodge hardware for embellishments

i stamped poppy parade onto daffodil delight and then added the rough type alphabet to he front.

I had photos left over that i didn't use so i snuck a choc chip envelope behind the photos for them to live in.

it was nice doing a scrapbook page

think i should do some more

cheers ears

time capsule

 a project i have in store for my family next year is a time capsule.

i have been wanting to do something like this for a while and never gotten around to it...

like most things most mothers of young children always seems to say lol

this one is made from a recycled bandage cylinder, the scallop circle die, 

the beautiful greenhouse gala paper and a variety of circles from the circles #2 die cut

inside i have made up a mini mini album for each month of the year-just a space to put a couple of little photos and room to journal down events.

there is also plenty of room inside to put special things in that we may collect during the year like sea shells or stones

fingers crossed i remember to do it!! hahahahahaha

cheers ears
