Had a craft Room tidy up today
and decided I would use up some printed backgrounds and images
This one is for a very special friend
of my Mum's in Australia
who celebrates her official 21st birthday
on the 29th of February
but is 84 years old this year.


love Monochrome

Love this vintage image, black and white with a hint of blue

Torn layers with not a straight line insight 

This image is very summery

One of my favourite images from a Joanna sheen CD.

Everyone got a bag of 5 cards and envelopes with a selection of images, backgrounds, gold and silver card, and toning matting layers. From my scrap stash, it was a great way to use up all the little pieces we end up with at the end of the day.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Hall Way

Door into kitchen

little table my son made when he was 13. I will never part with it. 

Stair Garland 

With a selection of snowmen and lanterns 

I've a very narrow hallway,
so this year went for a Natural, Gold and cream colour scheme 


And traditional Red Green and gold in the sitting room

I've a bit more to do, but nearly there,
there a nice bottle of white wine with my name on it 
for the X Factor and I'm a Celebrity final. 
need a few hours to recover I'm exhausted.
