Whizzing by at 70mph

This weeks Pencil Lines sketch #162 Guest Designer is one of my personal all time favourite scrapbookers - Malin Dahlström - I love her work and feel privileged to work alongside her on the Prima DT. Malins LO for the sketch is beautiful - go take a look.

Michelle designed the sketch - with a digi template available here for those of you who prefer to play with your mouse instead of pretty papers and herma :D

I downloaded the digi template and had every intention of attempting a digi page, but I gave up after about 15 minutes - I'd love to be able to digi scrap but have to admit to being totally useless in that department, so here is my paper version of the sketch -


I used some older product I found lurking at the bottom of a box - Heidi Grace Velvet Flocked Die Cuts, a couple of chipboard arrows which I painted with acrylic paint, an off cut of Hambly, Basic Grey buttons and 3 Bugs in a Rug rubons.


The photographs are of my friends little girl, Poppy....she was so busy crawling around and exploring the garden that it was impossible to get her to sit still long enough for me to get a photograph of her face!!


This weekend the South West was bashed with high winds and rain - lots of rain - but thankfully we are on high ground and managed to avoid any flooding issues, unlike the poor folks up north in Cumbria. Its horrific to see how water can cause so much destruction in such a short space of time - my heart goes out to the families who have had their homes destroyed by the deluge which cascaded from the skies above.
With the weather being so awful, we battened down the hatches and did very little apart from potter around and snuggle in front of the fire to watch DVD's and TV.....we LOVE our daily fix of "I'm a Celeb" and the weekend double dose of X Factor - sad eh?

Bored from watching yet another "fast car - shoot 'em up" movie with the guys, I ventured into my scrap room and had a little tidy up.
I found 4 spare Prima kits from a class I taught in Norway.


If anyone is interested in purchasing one of the kits, then please drop me an email using the "Email Me" link in the side bar - I'll then mail you back with payment and shipping details.


The kit contains all of the product and instructions you need to complete two layouts....with enough product left over to whizz up another or even a couple of cards.

The winds are still gusting at 70mph today - it is sooo dark outside that I have to have the lights on in the house - I'm certainly no fan of the winter months and long to see the sun again....*sigh*

Poor J has gone down with a horrid cold and is home from school - I best go and top up his Lucozade and mop his fevered brow.

Thanks for popping by.
