Sarah Hurley Blog: Making Memories

Wednesday already, this week has just flown by, I didn't even see it!! Sooo much has been done though, so thats good :o)

Thank you for the lovely responses to the new designs and the DT work, so glad you're loving them and there is more coming soon!

I hope you all enjoyed your pancakes yesterday, I had lime juice and sugar on mine, YUM-MY! As far as cooking goes, I'm not very good, actually I suck at pretty much everything, but I make an awesome pancake!

Today I have been looking up train tickets as I'm trying to get a day up north to spend with the 'rents, who knew trying to coordinate schedules and train times could be so complicated?!

Tomorrow I am meeting Emma and Kim who I speak to on Twitter quite a lot, we all design for Kuretake and we are meeting with them to chat about new things (exciting!!) I have met Emma once before but very briefly as I was rushing off to demo at Ally Pally!

and last but not least - the lovely Sue, one of the DT girls has been featured on the Making Memories blog today - wooo! Congrats Sue :o)

Thats all from me today, I will have exciting news of my trip to 'London Town' tomorrow as I leave my little Essex bubble for a few hours....

Recently I was challenged to make a layout all about me. This caused a complete crafters block! (and a manic hunt for a pic where I don't look drunk, weird or "facially challenged") as I'm sure most scrapbookers will understand, its very rare to do a layout of yourself, entirely about you. The focus of most of my layouts are family, friends, B or Belle (my fur baby) Anyway, after getting the shortlist of pics printed and then choosing one I had a mad hunt through my stash to find all the stuff I love the most - polka dots, red and blue and my trusty butterfly punch. I used some gorgeous Making Memories paper that I'd been stroking for the last few weeks and some lovely lettering from the new 'Flutter' range - they are sooo pretty!

Part of the challenge was to include 5 random facts about yourself. I jumped on the chance to cut out the gorgeous cherries from one of my Websters Pages papers (as cherry is my favourite smell and flavour)

and right as I was struggling to finish the 5th fact about myself I found a Melody Ross epoxy sticker that summed it all up perfectly - "Beautiful things make me giddy"
