2 new layouts and my new scrapbook friend!

These two layouts have been done from sketches - the Grandma one is a Becky Fleck round one http://www.pagemaps.com/ the second one is for a challenge over at Scrapbook Essentials http://www.scrapbookessentials.co.nz/ . Its nice to be getting a bit of scrapping time!

Take a look a my new scrapbook friend - he Phil's work dog Chief whos getting a bit soft on it!

Next two words

Emilys next two words are a YOW - our own word - who my friend chose for me and it was HOUSEWORK lol those who know me know that it is not a favorite of mine! And then the next one is BALANCE - i've written a little bit of what these things mean to me on the back of the cards but have shared with you just the front. The balance one has painting on it and then using a tissue picture I cut around the girl then separated the layers on the tissue and podged each separate tissue onto the paint. Getting a bit out there for me lol - I did like the painting process so have painted another page ready for another of Emily's challenges lol. The words on Housework are done on my Cuttlebug so are the flowers. Hope you have had a good weekend.
