Bruce, Bruce, Bruce..................

Hiya

I am so excited today because tonight I am going to watch a DVD I had to have sent from USA.  It's a movie I loved as a teenager featuring my favourite actor Bruce Payne (swoon) Seriously, he is fabulous.  I haven't seen Switch for years and I can not wait to see it again.  My PS3 was the best thing I ever bought playing all sorts of discs including blu-ray.

Todays pictures come from a mini that I made for a student called Dulcie Price.  It was her birthday when I worked in a University doing a live-in with a student who had Cerebral Palsy.  Dulcie was one of her flatmates and I made her a mini for her birthday titled 'Friends' so she could put all her Uni memories in it.

I made a little box for the mini to go in as well.

Hope you all had a good day.

Lots of Love

TWS Mini Album March 2011 for Alexandra

Hiya

I have finished and packaged and posted the mini for Alexandra.  Over on the Scrap Beach I will be posting all of the photos I have taken of this mini.  I didn't have time to make a video as I was on a time scale this morning.

I thoroughly enjoyed making it and I can not wait for the next swap. Any excuse to make a mini, lol.

This is the front of the mini.  I used the title "smile" as it is very open to any sort of pictures Alexandra would like to put in the mini and I left the pages pretty simple so she can add titles to the pages herself and is not limited in any way.

These are the first pages and I have to say I was surprised at the way the green went with the purple.

I used to green lace to make pockets for the tri fold photo matts to fit into.

This is the back of the mini on the inside.  I used Tim Holtz Adage tickets to make some labels for the pockets housing tags.

I really hope that she likes it when it arrives.

Chocolate distress.................

Hiya

Did you know that by 2014 there will be a short supply of chocolate.  Did you also know that chocolate doesn't have a very long shelf life.  I am so distressed by these comments it's affecting my life, lol.  I will miss it if and when it goes away.

What a way to start the day!  I have been traumatised by this thought for a few weeks now but I think that when I woke up earlier it hit me.

I wonder what the world would be like without chocolate??  Scary, maybe!!

I am posting some pictures of a mini that I made for Sharon, my brothers girlfriend.  I made it for her birthday in 2010.

I have almost finished my TWS swap mini for Alexandra.  I will post pictures on here when it is done and before I send it off.

I hope your day has been better than mine.  Oh CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of Luv

My first TWS Swap Album

Hiya!

I was just looking through my mini album pictures and I have found pictures of the first ever mini swap that I did.  It was with Nichole Prentice and it had the theme spring and flowers.

I enjoyed making my first swap.  When I look back on my first mini albums though I see how far I have come and how watching hours of youtube videos, made by lovely ladies and men, has helped me improve my mini making.

I am just about to make a trip to the post office.  I can relax when I get back and have some well earned rest.  I hope that you are having a good day.

Lots of Love
Vik

Monday Blues!!

Hi All

It's Monday and I will be so glad when it's over!  I have just landed back home and can't wait to get going on my almost finished mini album for the TWS March Swap.  I am so pleased with how it is coming along.  I just have the finishing touches to put to it and then I can post it.

I had a great time glimmer misting some Prima Flowers that I bought in Canada last year.  I can't believe how pretty they look and how much they sparkle.  I will just take a photo and give you a little peek.

I hope that my partner will like her mini.  It's such a pity you can't see the glimmer on the petals of the flowers in the picture.  I had better go as dinner is almost ready.

Big Hugz for a rubbish Monday

Crazy Week!!

Hiya Guys!!
I have had one crazy week.  My work partner has been off sick and so I have been filling in.  I have done 3 long days straight and I am shattered.  I have the day off tomorrow so I am ready to get into mini mode. 

I am working on my TWS (Trade Wind Scrapper) March 2011 Mini Album Swap hosted by Kathryn  over on the Scrap Beach.  My partner is Alexandra and I am making her a gate fold paper bag mini.  She likes the colours Purple and Silver just like me.  I have to put some green in it somewhere and I have found some recycled and textured paper.  I am also putting in some charms that were given to me on a bracelet that I have recycled.  My found items I have yet to find, lol.

I am putting up some pictures of a mini that I made for my mum and dad for their wedding anniversary.  It was my first go at a chipboard mini.

I hope to post tomorrow and let you know how my mini is shaping up.

Lots of Love
Vik
