I'm on my second Tilda and 23 copics not even getting to all the digi stamps I've now aquired! Ah well you only live once eh?<br /><br />Speaking of digi stamps I got these 2 that were just shouting to be coloured with my new felt tips, and with the whole back to school in all the shops it just seemed fitting. Also needed a break from Christmas!<br /><br />They were from Kenny K, which is such a fab site, trying to stay away from there at the moment, need to replenish the funds first!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIaxhE_2-xfe1qGvAAp247p94lurkJ7d9QFQtSPK5AY29Ppvt3_kvcmaVbCBrsgFxhJW5zgjGVAeN8ioL1z82GN-wHWkl9ckZcOj6goqnpbEZ0aISyL6swOhoeltXrxFiLdxT31jkmmZo/s1600/KennyK+Pad+II.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIaxhE_2-xfe1qGvAAp247p94lurkJ7d9QFQtSPK5AY29Ppvt3_kvcmaVbCBrsgFxhJW5zgjGVAeN8ioL1z82GN-wHWkl9ckZcOj6goqnpbEZ0aISyL6swOhoeltXrxFiLdxT31jkmmZo/s400/KennyK+Pad+II.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515638033772766994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY6YhTU-mkNMh4IXg7o2TSssoIyhwZJB2ktxB1lwKh3VxVWUqnPfb_F4BQxtCNVGhuhIY7B-BvI7GFqG_j6VnnsnZqFMJLEr4HgvgXcVqw0Xyg8gc98Aci4kH2geVm_p0oZ_0kuGwO-GE/s1600/KennyK+Pad+I.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY6YhTU-mkNMh4IXg7o2TSssoIyhwZJB2ktxB1lwKh3VxVWUqnPfb_F4BQxtCNVGhuhIY7B-BvI7GFqG_j6VnnsnZqFMJLEr4HgvgXcVqw0Xyg8gc98Aci4kH2geVm_p0oZ_0kuGwO-GE/s400/KennyK+Pad+I.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515638023840355906" /></a><br /><br />At the moment here it's the festival at the end of Ramadan so pretty much everywhere is closed and you have to keep a supply of sweets in for if/when the local children come around, I'd compare it to our Christmas with a twist of halloween (coming round knocking on doors for sweets) in it!

I'd ordered <strong><em>loads</em></strong> of Forever Friends Decoupage the other week and decided I'd get on with them. So I put the fan on and set to, I also downloaded different layouts because when you're doing that many they can all end up looking pretty much the same<br /><br />The papers are all Pink Petticoat, I decided they would all be of the same theme, just different colours and layouts. I also added the odd snowflake and poinsettia.<br /><br />Here are just a few of the pictures:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIU0u3FokPobk2K_xA0ZTHP6e-VEUM3kbbdrMxKzW7F5ChiBFjd-Y4P8yGcYce3TB8fxuMZDfubnhprj2tofOcfBCC45BdPIgQQL_cWEJJmBj7Y-fDbL8gZO6vw_mno2IRzdhkZuCTbSo/s1600/Forever+Friends+With+Gift.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Hazal arrived on Sunday at about 12 lunch time, and we have already been to the academy to ask Muge to find her another host family.<br /><br />She is an absolute nightmare, we should have realised that the course is quite expensive so only the 'privileged' children will be able to attend, unfortunately with that you get the spoilt brats!<br /><br />Her family have an apartment in town but she is still staying with us to help with her English, but she is such hard work! She is only at school for 2 hours so the rest of the time we are 'babysitting' while her mum goes down the beach and enjoys herself!! <br /><br />We're decided to do this to help make a difference with the young people learning English, it's not as if we're making alot of cash out of it, it's basically all inclusive, for £100 per week, hey come to think of it, that's really good value, I might start offering it over tinternet, anyone interested??<br /><br />Hopefully she'll be gone before too long and I can concentrate on my cards again.<br /><br />Bye for now, Clare xClarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03174501342280546017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219694392718593928.post-27560854581855435292010-08-08T14:41:00.005+03:002010-08-08T14:53:24.128+03:00New stampI have finally got around to using my new V&A stamps, I decided to stamp and flock the flower, the background is also the V&A stamp, which I am SO impressed with, being able to match it up and cover as much paper as you like!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAqdbVuRmVsOlNUDM_ve_dRLavTbVhj-qth2KucLK_moPEbh7EuDX3WGlgCoGYElU_-h-2dZjhkd2K5Y_b2v_GFUzHpmV-4EVwx4xojixJfCuE2J9VRcS0wG3OxUJ_r5JkLm9ipbZNfEw/s1600/IMG_1009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAqdbVuRmVsOlNUDM_ve_dRLavTbVhj-qth2KucLK_moPEbh7EuDX3WGlgCoGYElU_-h-2dZjhkd2K5Y_b2v_GFUzHpmV-4EVwx4xojixJfCuE2J9VRcS0wG3OxUJ_r5JkLm9ipbZNfEw/s400/IMG_1009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503005051035815986" /></a><br /><br />This one is one of my christmas digi's think I should have done a border along the bottom to break up the emptiness, maybe on my next ones.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOwy25c-H89BTT7I7OEklnL_7BP1UEkOq3Ck8-IR9pU6lE3yw7mQdksqr_9DJVDtWM9RPikziSXbcPw5WRD-XDsdj_SgOSMx64pCdzkAgu3vaZwIDmN8V76flcyicRFkk2d-oXhDRYAE/s1600/IMG_1012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOwy25c-H89BTT7I7OEklnL_7BP1UEkOq3Ck8-IR9pU6lE3yw7mQdksqr_9DJVDtWM9RPikziSXbcPw5WRD-XDsdj_SgOSMx64pCdzkAgu3vaZwIDmN8V76flcyicRFkk2d-oXhDRYAE/s400/IMG_1012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503004532634891490" /></a><br /><br />We are now on our 3rd student, the first was the worst and we wern't sure if we would have another but we met Murat before he came to stay and he seemed nice so we carried on and he left on Friday night and now the 3rd has just arrived today!
