Time to Scrap

Well it certainly was time to scrap these lovely photos of Ffion. They were taken a few years ago in the very beautiful Joseph Banks Conservatory which is situated at The Lawns here in Lincoln. I was inspired to recent weekend at the asylum...... we went in and I could have cried..... apparently Lincoln City Council have slashed funding for the Conservatory and oh my goodness it is in an utterly awful state....... It is so very sad that they can get away with this...... If it was private then they would slap a purchase order on it or something of the like.  I need to think about what I can do...... how much of a fuss can one person make...... I have taken similar photos as it is now and the difference is devastating...... I know that I can't just sit back and say nothing at all. Anyhow back to the matter in hand Through the Purple Haze Challenge........ inspired by TV or Film....... so here is my interpretation...... It is Ffion (my very own princess) starring in I'm a Princess get me out of here...... two pics as it is a double layout :) xx  Right off I go to comprise a very strong e.mail xx Jayne xx

Sorry NO Cards Today!

Can you tell what it is yet?........Well not a card and that's for sure........ sorry but I'm all carded out. It wasn't a bad run for me. Anyway it's my Purple Haze Challenge for the week and the theme is Bling it on........ so it called for a new handbag charm........ time to get the beads out and I have to admit I enjoyed it.......  I am loving these challenges as they are making me create at least one thing from the mountains of craft stash I own each week and I like that it is getting used very much......... now to stop replacing it with twice as much (at least) as I use that is another challenge altogether xx Jayne xx

Life as we know it!

Yep another card so I'm thinking that life as we know it may cease to exist or the universe may even implode because this certainly is far from the norm........ its for the Purple Haze weekly challenge  and more shocks in the fact that I have even managed to upload it on time..... ooh and I even like this one a little bit..... It's for Justine's friend Kimmie so there is even a recipient.......... that means I made yet another card that I don't hate and I am giving it away......... I don't like the Universes chances :P xx Jayne xx

Keeping schtum but not for long

Well here it is....... my challenge for http://www.throughthepurplehazechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ It is very simple so simple in fact that  might not believe how close it came to the bin..... I had a very definite  idea and I know the saying goes "It's a poor workman that blames his tools" Well blame is not the word I would use but this post isn't the place ........ I shall publicly slate them in another post in my own time......... one of my pet hates is when things don't do what they say on the packet....... another is wasting precious time and I have seriously done this today so for now here is the card..... yes card ...... I know another one....... although I can safely guarantee:) no one will have to receive it so you are all safe xx Jayne xx
