The Faraway Tree elements

So sorry I'm late today - I had a slight accident! Lily was so excited to see me when I got home today that she ran into me while I was going down the stairs. I've hurt my toe REALLY badly I think - it's all swelled up and bruised :(

Anyway, back to now and I have the elements for The Faraway Tree for you. Click my preview to download and Mel's to go get hers from her blog. Check back tomorrow for the alphas. TTFN.

More freebies!

Hey everyone - thanks for all the recommendations on books - I need to sit down and go through them properly to see what looks good for me! I really appreciate it that so many people took the time to help me out :)

I want to tell you about a couple of freebies in scrapland today. First up is Stacey's kit called 'Giving Thanks' which is a gorgeous mix of fall colours with a Thanksgiving theme. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in England, but we do have autumn, so this is what I did with it. Click the preview to go to Stacey's blog and don't forget to leave some love!


And then store CT member LeeAnne (aka Scrappy Bug) has a gorgeous looking freebie that I noticed on her blog this morning - take a look at 'Wish Wash' and click the preview to head off to her blog to collect it. Again, don't forget to leave some love! TTFN.

The Faraway Tree freebie collab

I finally have a new collab for you - this one I did with Mel and it was following a request by one of our blog readers - Jenny. Her daughter is an avid fan of the Enid Blyton books and so we took inspiration from one of her book covers. The Faraway Tree was born! Take a look at Mel's part of the kit and then mine....


Take a look at this gorgeous layout from Laramie showing how you can use the kit!

Today, you get the papers - click Mel's to go to her blog and click mine to download. Check back tomorrow for the elements. TTFN.

Spring Fling freebie kit part 2

So, I hope you're all enjoying playing with Spring Fling? Did you get part 1? If you didn't, you are too late now - I did warn you it would only be there for a week! Back to today and you can have part 2 of the kit, firstly take a look at a couple more inspirational layouts from my CT....

This first beauty is from LeeAnne - she has done two more, so stay tuned for them over the next week.

This is from Nancy and she is offering this as a template on her blog, so be sure to check that out!

And this cute layout is by Stacey - scrapping snowmen with a spring kit - I LOVE it!

And now, click the preview to download part 2. Part 3 will be next Sunday - don't miss it!

Hook me up with some great books please!

OK, I am compiling my christmas list and need to get a few books to read! What do you all recommend? Just so that you know what I like, recently I have read 'The Time Traveler's Wife", "Angels and Demons", and all the Twilight books :) - I loved all of them! I used to love Stephen King when I was younger, but they scare me too much now - LOL, so no scary stuff please :D. I want to know what's good - old or new so that I can beef this list up a bit - my family are always saying I don't give them enough ideas for presents! Thanks - can't wait to hear from you!
