A busy weekend.

Lots of creating happened on Thursday/Friday - mostly Friday night actually. I'm a last minute person.

This card I made for Mum and Dad to give at the wedding.

This one I used to adorn our present which was enclosed very stylishly in a brown pizza box and wrapped with a wide white ribbon.


This one is an extra - done for the impromptu SE cyber crop on Friday night. I figured while I had my card making supplies out it would be fairly simple to put together a card using the sketch provided. It's just as well I had till midnight to complete it cos it took that long to get the scanner to work once I realised the batteries were flat in my camera.

The new chat room at SE is very fun - lots of cool noises to play with, they even have a bubbles noise just for me!


Here's my new necklace. I wanted a nice bright colour to go with the black I wear a lot of. I usually wear a little bit of red so this is a nice change. I also made a matching bracelet - cos I had some beads left over.


And the horse shoe - actually harder than I anticipated - but still I wasn't going to cave in and buy one!


I also made this pooh bear one cos she used to like pooh bear a lot.


It turns out she got a couple of other ones as well.


The happy couple - Karen and Malcolm.

They have asked me to put their wedding photos into an album. I've said yes but I have no idea what they are actually wanting or how much to charge - I guess it will all be worked out. I haven't even done my own wedding photos yet - in my mind they fall into the same category as birthday party photos - kinda hard to scrap. On the up side it will be fun to scrap photos taken by a professional photographer.

OK so I have more scrapping to do and I'm also watching shrek 3 - the kids have watched it lots of times and I've seen bits of it but not the whole thing - so tonight I'm watching all of it.

Wow - you sure have been busy. Loving Pooh bear - what a cool idea. Good luck with the album - my wedding ones are in the too hard basket as well.

You have been busy Beveley - love your cards and you did a great job on the horseshoe and bear for the wedding. I am pleased it is you too doing the wedding album - it is such a hard thing to tackle, I still haven't done my daughters yet cause I want to do it so that it doesn't date too much. It will probably still be sitting here in a couple of years time.

i had to do my best friends wedding album, i did it as their wedding present, obviously recevied it after the wedding, took all weekend at a scrap camp, picked a theme and went the whole way through, very simple, but elegant. they were married in rarotonga, so all the heidi swapp hibiscus stuff got a good hammering
