Teabag & Son (Est 2000): June 2010
http://teabagscraftybits.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 21 June 2010. Not quite a wedding towel cake. So I decided to make a scrapbook for the couple to use to put their informal photos, etc in. Again, this remained a vague thought until I had a panic last week and realised I had less than 2 weeks to go. YIKES! The front is coverd with Basic Grey - Blush :Cherish. Pastel pearls to give a bit of a lift. Glossy accents on all the hearts - well it is for a wedding. The button heart is in an aperture - more accurate rendering of the colours here.

Sunday, 23 January 2011. Better Late Than Never! Finally getting around to posting pics of (some of) my Christmas 2010 makes. Believe it or not, I still have one waiting to be given to my sister (I forgot to take it down to her house at Christmas) So I'll post that after the weekend (don't hold your breath). I made covered notebooks for my sister, my friend and her husband. My sister and friend are both teachers so they got class record books, My friend's hsband got an ideas book. Ideas book - Cogsmo.

Teabag & Son (Est 2000): MSE Challenge Card (kind of) - Mum
http://teabagscraftybits.blogspot.com/2011/03/mse-challenge-card-kind-of-mum.html
Sunday, 6 March 2011. MSE Challenge Card (kind of) - Mum. Whoopsie - just realised the challenge was for a "Mothers Day Card" not a card for your Mum. Never mind eh - If Mothers Day is anything like her birthday I'll be finishing the mothers day card off at 11.30 pm on the Saturday before. I'm going to claim it fit's the bill as its for My Mothers (birth) Day and hope no-one notices ;-). Here's Mum's cake which we also made the night before. Well I made the cake and "&son" iced it.

Wednesday, 31 March 2010. I've got the cricut again. I'm so obsessed with cricut's now - not far enough having saved enough money now to buy my own but luckily I have a good friend who was willing to let me look after hers whilst she is on holiday. I really wanted to borrow it for cutting out the numbers and letters for the cards below - it's so time consuming to cut them out by hand. So here they are. Background paper Bella Boulevard - Sweet Celebration. Alphas by Pink Paislee. Wednesday, March 31, 2010.

http://teabagscraftybits.blogspot.com/2011/02/return-of-mojo-part-2.html
Sunday, 13 February 2011. Return of the mojo - part 2. And now for a card. It's &sons Dad's birthday today but for one reason or another he was unable to have him over as is usually the case on a Sunday. So me and my boy have been having a bit of fun in the craft room. Inspiration struck when I remembered there was a racing driver on my Cricut - Everyday Paper Dolls cart so we had a liitle play and &son came up with this. Stig" , car and Road cut from EveryDay Paper dolls cart on Cricut. Ahhhh, this is a...

Teabag & Son (Est 2000): December 2010
http://teabagscraftybits.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 December 2010. So, my plan for this years Christmas card was that I would come up with a design and do them all the same. Brilliant idea! I went to a papercraft show at the Doncaster Domw and saw this amazing glitter and thought I'd make a simple black card with a glittery white snowflake on. Another good idea. I only made 2 of this type but have carried on the snowflake theme. I'd like to enter this collecion for the OAP1945's MSE Challenge - Let it shine - as they're all sparkly. So here is...

Friday, 26 February 2010. I think not but, more fool me, I've signed up for the sport relief mile and so really thought I'd better have a go at running. I honestly believe I've never run a mile non-stop, certainly not since starting secondary school - and when forced to d cross-country, my friend and I just used to run around the corner, walk and chat for most of the sourse and the jog hen coming back into view. Friday, February 26, 2010. Thursday, 18 February 2010. Hello' card - thanks to Rusty. Finally...

Teabag & Son (Est 2000): NEWSFLASH! Mojo Returns! Part 1
http://teabagscraftybits.blogspot.com/2011/02/newsflash-mojo-returns-part-1.html
Sunday, 13 February 2011. This project has been on my desk since about October of last year. I'd be lying if I said it was half finished then. I printed the photo, bought the frame, took out the glass. and then left it for 6 months. Shameful behaviour! You'll have seen the picture before if you're a long-time follower - it's of My Granny and Grandad on their wedding day. Do you know what my favourite part of the picture is? I'd like to enter it into the following challenges. Love is in the air.

Teabag & Son (Est 2000): September 2010
http://teabagscraftybits.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 8 September 2010. My little baby is 10. This was a bit of a last-minute card as we were away just before Tom's birthday but I think it's come out quite well - it's loosely based on the brilliant Helen's. 9 squarre cards. Everything football related is strictly 'blue&white' in my son;s eyes so I cut 1 inch scallopped squares in white and 1.25" in blue on my cricut (storybook cartridge). The puffy stickers were from accessorize. Ribbon from stash. Sentiment hand-written. Tuesday, 7 September 2010.

http://teabagscraftybits.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 24 April 2010. Completed Layout from Craft Den Scrapbooking Class. Before going on holiday I managed to make it to the Thursday night scrapbook class at the craft den. I'd love to make the classes more often but struggle with childcare. Lynne came up with this design. I completed it today and it now has pride of place on my mantelpiece. The only extra I've added is the heading - because I chickened out of journalling again. It's taken from a Cosmo Cricket Strip-tease from the Gretl range. Grann...
