Oi Specky!

Don't be alarmed, I'm not calling anyone rude names, just showing you my latest layout.


I have always thought that like hats, glasses suit me.  Or maybe I have the knack of choosing the right type...whatever it is I like wearing both.  Although I'm glad that I didn't have to wear glasses as a school child....I had enough name calling directed at me because of my hair colour.  

These lush papers are from the new line 'Tea for Two' by Cosmo Cricket. Inspired by tea roses, afternoon tea and pretty floral patterns....very vintage looking.  Only I chose not to use the floral side this time.  A few layered strips, hand stitching, glimmer mist and a couple of die cuts was all it took to complete this layout.  

Sandra from 'Gottacraft' very kindly sent me these so that I could complete a few projects for her shop blog as a guest designer.  I have to say that they are very versatile and the patterned strip sheet is right up my street.  I'm a bit annoyed at myself not being able to use the flowered side but I'm working on that as we speak.  Feel inspired to get yourself some papers? Then toddle over to her on line shop now as I hear she has all sorts of new lines coming in.

Till next time...

  1. You were obviously meant to use the floral side for something else - I like the check and the photo of you in your glasses.

  2. Love the difference a bit of misting makes to the background paper - draws the whole LO together :-)

  3. Lovely stuff. I bought some of the other Cosmo, now you have persuaded me I need to go back for this one! As I get older I have discovered that glasses do a brilliant job of hiding the dark circles under my eyes. You get to see them with contact lenses
