Lolly the Grumpy Kitty

Hiya,
just a quick post to share a photo of my adorable kitty that I took earlier. I love my grumpy kitty and I think she looks so beautifully grumpy here...and kind of slightly evil :P

From the Scrapbook #4

Hello lovely blog readers,
I am so happy; today I became the proud owner of a gorgeous dark blue leather Osprey London handbag. I am in love with it! And after being good and saving a lot of money lately, I thought I deserved a treat :) Isn't it beautiful?

I think we're all rather fed up of winter now and are looking forward to spring arriving so for this week's From the Scrapbook theme I chose Pastel Colours to create some pretty bits and pieces for you to use.

This sweet blog header suits most colour schemes and can be personalised by adding your blog name to the empty purple backing and also by adding a tag line along the floral banner. I like the simplicity and I can't get enough of chevrons at the moment. This scrap can be saved as a JPEG or PNG file.

This scrap is perfect for adding to any scrapbooking project. The shield frame is left transparent so that you are able to add your own photo and the speech bubble allows you to add a description or quote. I have also kept the chevron pattern light so that text can easily be added here should you wish. Save this scrap as a PNG file.

Finally, this little tag is a sweet addition to a scrapbook page or could even be used as an invitation to a tea party where you can hand write the details on the back of the tag or something like that. I've been looking for an excuse to use the little purple tea cup for a while now!

So there we go for another week. I hope you like these bits and pieces and, as always, I'd love to see them in action.
Have a nice evening :)

Pixlr stole my heart

Hi once again.

Being the wild party animal that I am, I have found myself curled up on the sofa on this cold Saturday night playing around on my laptop. A few days ago I read a blog past boasting the brilliance that is pixlr and as a photography lover myself I thought I'd use the evening playing around with the online program. 

I have to say, I'm sooo pleased that I did. I have found a new love.

The online program lets you upload any photo from your computer and then from there works in a similar- but easier to use- way as PhotoShop and lets you do all sorts of great things. I have PhotoShop elements on my laptop but the pixlr program allows you to do more.

As well as that, they have the "retro vintage effects" option that you upload your image onto and choose from their selection of retro overlays, effects and frame styles to apply. I had great fun doing this and managed to make the lovelies. Seriously, have a go, its sooo fun! Annie x
