Hello friends
Yes...Insomnia! But not what you are probably thinking...
Insomnia is the name of the UK's biggest gaming festival and this
is where Elliott is spending some of his birthday.
Not exactly on our doorstep - it is in Telford!
Elliott is a true computer fanatic (geek!) so this festival is definitely his cup of tea.
Thank you Rose for sending Elliott an e-card - it was lovely :)
Kits have gone out, I realise there may be a slight delay with the Bank Holiday.
I'm reading some lovely emails from those who have received and
have made/making their kits.
When I first sit down and come up with kit ideas I always hope they
are well received and you do not disappoint - I am delighted, thank you.
Now we need something crafty....
you may recall a while back I mentioned 'One Die Wonders' and this is one of them.
A notebook...seems I'm a fan of notebooks right now!
This is one I purchased from Sainsbury because I liked the colour of the spine,
it had a design of its own on the cover but I soon changed that!
The only die used on this project is Blossom Two.
By alternating paper and felt it creates a pretty and soft effect. I'm also a fan of the
turquoise/pale blue colouring teamed with brown/beige.
The papers are Graphic 45 - Kraft Reflections.
A simple design with a black gem swirl flourish to jazz it up a little bit.
(I always cut these into pieces - they go further that way!)
Hope you are all having a great weekend.
Take care friends.

Hello. Thought it was delayed jetlag! But no, just boys having fun. Lovely little book, lovely cartoon but I assure you girls can't pick up their clothes either and they have more of them usually. xxMargaretxx
Hope you are all well and Elliott is enjoying his Birthday weekend, I love the note book it's stunning. love Jean Z xxx
Good morning Christine
I'm sure Elliot is having great fun at 'Insomnia' and is thoroughly enjoying his birthday treats!
I love your notebook today, and the effect of using just one die, esp with the felt.
I've received my recipe book and due to the awful wet weather yesterday, what better excuse than to craft! I really enjoyed making it and have sent you photos this morning. I needed some better light to take them in, and we have a little bit of sunshine this morning, in between some dark clouds.
You have certainly inspired me to make more, or maybe a notebook like yours next!
I've made the lemon cake many times since you shared the recipe on your blog....it's delicious, but I do look forward to buying the others!
Have a good Sunday.
