Cheezers!

Ben was talking to me the other day about Cheezers.  I was a little confused about what he was saying, I thought he was talking about cheesy crisps or something and was just saying 'oh yes?' and 'was it?' to encourage his conversation.  All the while I was thinking 'What IS he talking about?'.  Then he was talking about Cheezers being in heaven and I was VERY confused.  It became clear (eventually) when he started to tell me (with some frustration at Mummy's stupidity) that Cheezers died on the cross for everyone and then he came back to life!  I think they have been studying Easter in Year 1 recently!  I was in fits of laughter and even Ben was laughing when I explained to him that it was Jesus with a 'J' and not Cheezers with a 'Ch'.

This layout was created with the gorgeous Bella's Boudoir kit from Bellaboo, there is nothing I like better than pink and black so this kit was right up my street!  It is great value too because for £10.95 you get a full pack of alphabets and a full pack of rubons as well as papers, card, ribbon and bling!

I went to the Plymouth crop at the weekend and amongst much chatting and browsing the lovely stampin' Up catalogue I managed two layouts:

I love the Rusty Pickle Chubby Alphabet chipboard that I have used on this layout (covered with the patterned paper).  Also, after completing the layout I masked off the photograph with a piece of card and sprayed it (rather bravely I think!) with glimmer mist in iridescent gold and it looks gorgeous but you can't see it on the photograph.

This layout of Charlotte was quite a quick one but the foliage around the photograph was cut from some KI Memories lacy cardstock and coloured with silver, pink and turquoise inkpads (brilliance) to match the Making Memories Noteworthy patterned papers.

Mark has carried on decorating and he has painted my lovely red kitchen in warm beige, whilst I loved the red I have to admit that the beige looks cleaner and makes the kitchen look a lot more spacious.  The lounge also looks gorgeous now it is all put back together.  Next the hallway!

I also finished the Shepherd's Bush scissor fob 'In My Garden' - it is so cute that I can't stop looking at it. 

Now I am stitching a 'Sarah' tree by M Designs.  Carol bought this chart for Christmas a couple of years ago and amongst all my stitching stash I completely forgot about it so I was really excited when I found it.

Now I am really getting excited about attending the Stitches show at the weekend so if you are in the NEC on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday pop over the Scrapgenie stand to say 'Hi' to Tracie, Anna, Debbie and me!
