Snappy Happy

For you those who don't know much about me but I am a great lover of my camera, I love portrait photography. Capturing that perfect moment is so important to me, here's a few I took over the weekend at a family wedding:

Laptop Cat

Whenever I try doing some blogging at home I always seem to have company. My cat Merlin is very much intrigued by the blogging community, and has regularly given me his input on what to write, he does this in a variety of ways, usually by standing on my keyboard and typing a lot of random letters which makes sence to him, or he sits and miaows away at me as if hes telling me what to write.

But over the weekend he wasn't in the mood to do any blogging and wasn't going to be letting me do any time soon:

Amazing Adhesive stones!!

Throughout the year we will be updating the old Papermania stock, last week we received samples of the new adhesive stones and OMG they look fantastic I was so pleased to see these stones get a make over!! I think they were in desperate need! Let me know what you think!

Saw Rodger Sanchez last nite OMG!!

Last night went parting with a few people to go see Rodger Sanchez, at a club called 2020 in Bournemouth, totally loving it in there, classy, wicked music and a great night! Rodger Sanchez was the icing on the cake for me!!! Think I will be defiantly visiting again sometime soon!!

Sunday Afternoon ....

I had to make a few cards this afternoon for a few people. My little brother passed all his GCSE's so proud of him so I made him this card from the Basic grey collection.

My Auntie got married a few weeks ago in America and she having a big party next weekend so I made the happy couple this card from sample embellishments from China and Papermania vellum's.

As a little prezzie for my other brother, I was in his flat the other day and noticed he didn't have any pictures of him and his girlfriend Mandy. So I made a scrapbook page of them together.
