"You and Me" - Our Adventures xxx

Morning all

Well its Friday again which means another Clare Curd Dt Post, this week I'm sharing a wee scrapbook page I just needed to make!

I was feeling bit sentimental this week and dug out last years fab Landmark pictures and created this little layout wit h help from Basic Grey Hey Girl papers. I cut up strips creating the bunting before sticking them down then adding some Smash Washi tape for extra texture

Then I just added lots of embellishments like the fab Basic Grey Alphabets, Hey You stickers and lots of Josh Candi. The other bits are from my stash 

I adore these paper ranges and find them great for all my crafting!

Well until next time everyone

"Adventure is out There"

                

Let's go cruising xx

Well hello my lovelies

Today I've been stuck on this stupid "taptop" trying to sort loads of things but with no luck! Typical when you have 101 emails to reply to and sort you can't send one! Guess it means more fun in the craft room instead hehe!

Well yesterday was our 7th Wedding Anniversary, yeah I can't believe it either lol! We had a nice quiet day as hubby was working but we had a lovely meal and as usually he spoiled me rotten! He even made me a wee card, knew the cardmaking would rub off lol!

I decided to make another special wee card for him 

What do you think?

He just loved it and his wee face was sooooo smiley when he seen it lol!

I stuck with grey/silver tones so I could sit it in our hall, matching our colour scheme!
