Geletos

I have had a pack of Geletos for a bit now but have not really known wot to do with them.

 Then when i was looking on Two peas in a bucket in there class section i saw Wilna Furstenberg Art class 2 which had lots of Geleto techniques. I was really inspired by this class and got the Geletos out to play. The two layout below i used cut files from Wilna's shop iheartstudio.

Now that i was all inspired to use the Geletos i wanted to learn more about wot they could do. So yesterday i went to Art From The Heart for a class with Sandra Hall all about techniques to use with the Geletos. There was so many new things to learn. Like you can use them with or with out Gesso, you can make sprays from them also the one i liked most was mixing it with gel medium. 

 We tried all different techniques out on tags so at the end of the class we got a ring and clipped them together.

 Also a little book we made. I am hoping to do a tutorial on how to make a book like this soon.

Crafty bits

I have been feeling a little crafty at the mo and wiped these layouts out. The photo's on this page below are from a photo shoot i had with kirsty Wiseman last july. I am only just getting round to scarp them.

I Love this one below of Archie going to School on his first day. We could not be more proud of him and he is the youngest in his class.

I have been a little naughty and treated myself to the new Fuji Instax Share printer. The reason why i wanted to get one is because i love my fuji mini camera but sometime i don't have it on me. This printer is ace as you can get the instax phones but using your photos on your phone camera.

 As u can see it prints out really good prints and the good thing is it came with film.

Here is a layout i did about the dogs using the instax's . you will def be seeing more of these on my pages.

 This week i also treated myself to some new stash from Sarahs cards. Most of the order was embellishment as I'm trying to do my project life album. Pictures of that to come.

Mac Girl

I have been in love with Apple for the last 6/7 years when i first got a iMac. Last month tho i had to replace it with a second hand one which hand been down up for me. We had a few problems with it but its working great now. Anyway i have been looking at getting a new laptop for a bit now as mine is old and getting slow. The only problem with Mac Book Pro's is that they are really expensive and at the mo i don't have that ind of money and it will take me forever to save up.

 So as u can imagine it was a really big shock when Em and G came home from a shopping trip with this little baby for me.

 Yes a brand new Mac book pro. I was in so much shock i just started to jump for joy. I got it out right away and set it up.

There was no words i could say to Em and G for getting it me. I love them so very and don't know wot i would do with out them. Now I'm search the net for a case.

So now i think i can say i'm a mac girl with a iMac,mac pro, iPad and iPhone 

Cannon Hall Farm

Its bank holiday monday here in the UK today so like most people we are going out for a day. The good thing also about today is it Sunny and if u know the UK u know that most of the time it is dull or raining. Anyway i got invited to go with the Boothmans The Cannon Hall Farm which is a great place i have been once before and it was fun.
As u can imagine it was busy. Em had already decided we would take a picnic with us and it was a good job as the restaurant was packed. We decided to eat before we went into the farm
 1. so we did not have to carry a bag of food round with us
 2. we were all hungry.
I must admit i don't know who enjoyed the day more me or the boys.

                                   I think this guy does not like the dentist very much lol

While the boys went to play in the park i had a wonder round the brans there was about 9 in total file with pigs,cows,sheep and ponies. They had about three barns just full of pigs with there piglets. This litter below i think were born in the last day. There were two really small ones which looked like the rottens of the litter

I loved looking at the baby lambs. I can remember when me and Em were younger we went to farms and got to bottle feed them. I need to find somewhere that do that so the boys can do it.

We did get the chance to store some lambs which the boys loved doing.

This little brown pony was only born this morning.

                                           The boys loved playing in the park

                    Just before we left we had ice lollies to cool us down before we headed home.

Meet Peppa Pig

We are so lucky that we don't live far away from the Yorkshire Wild Life Park. Last year we all got a year pass so we could go anytime. They are in the middle of doing it up and i must say its looking gd so far. We took a trip today as the fames Peppa Pig was going to be there and in are family we have watched many of her shows. Sometime wanting to throwing the dvd out the window.

It was a sunny day so i decided to try my new sunglasses out but two little boys tested them out for me first.

 Mum did not come as her back has been pretty bad at the mo and there is a lot of walking round you have to do.

I was not really impressed with Peppa Pig all she was doing is shacking kids hands and hugging them . it would of been nice if the had a photo area where they could have photos with her. I guess when your young you don't care as long as you see her.

                                         Trying to take a selfie of us all was a bit of fun

 I did not really take loads of pics of the animals this time but here is a cute pic of a monkey you can get really close to them. I stood back when the keeper said they do bit.

 I love seeing new baby animals and there was three new camels. My fave animal has to be the giraffe  i love going to see them and u can get really close to them. On time i never had one licking my hand tried to get dad to take a pic but he missed it.

Layouts

Just a quick post to show these Lo I have just finished. This one i started last weekend but i can't decided if to put some writing on or just leave it as is.

 I still felt crafty when i got home so i made these two pages about the get away.

Barncastle

This past week i had the great pleasure in spending the weekend with eight women for a crafty weekend.  This was going to be a big thing for me for so many reasons 

1. I did not know anyone part from Kirsty and Rubina.

 2. I was going to be staying away with out my Mum and Dad.

We were the first people to arrive and after we did find it this is the view from the front of the house.

After waiting a bit the lovely Rubina rolled up in Max her red little beetle. After having a look around a picking r rooms i started getting all my craft stuff in the house and i mean i over did it a bit lol The lady who rents the cottage out to us left  a gorgeous victoria sponge for us which went down really well.

On Sat i took a trip with Rubina to Tetbury. She wanted to go to this Indian shop which sold bits of clothes, rugs and other bits from India. Everything in the shop wiz all hand made as well. I ended up buying a little journal and purse. Had to have a little giggle at Rubina on the way back as we had to stop in a lay-by so she could take a picture of oil seed rape field. I then sat in the car taking a picture of her lol

On Sunday Kirsty asked if anyone wanted to go for a walk round the block with her so me and Sarah said yes. Well Kirstys little walk turn out into an adventure.

We ended up following a public walk sign but some how got lost need up having to go through a field of cows which had a bull in scary. Well we walked along the field and the only way to cross wiz this large fallen tree. It felt a bit like the seen in dirty Dancing but we did not stay on it to dance lol

It was sad to have to say good bye to everyone i made some great friends who i hope will be around for life. We talking about doing it again in October so i can't wait.

Here we are making a friendship star.

Sheilagh, Kirsty, Lisa, Rubina, Me, Sarah, Krystle and Jackie
