To find out a bit more about me and to see my interpretation of the new sketch team blog hop sketch, read on. Then you can hop on over to Allison's Blog, she is next on the list! Enjoy! 
So welcome to my blog if this is your first visit! I tend to ramble on about life here, sharing photographs I have taken, happening in my day, places I have been and layouts/projects I have created. I know sometimes people prefer to read a scrappers blop just to see their scrapbooking, but I use my blog as a way of communicating with distant friends and family too, and as an on-line diary to help preserve my memories - I hope you enjoy it! I am proud to be an addition to the sketch blog team over at Let's Capture these sketches and as part of the blog hop this weekend I've been asked to share a few random facts about me, both scrapping and non scrapping related. So here goes!
- I am a mum of three with a daughter of almost 13 and two boys aged 5 and 2½
- I am married to my soul mate Matthew whom I adore
- I work full time as an Accountant for the UK Government
- I have 5 tattoos, all with a specific meaning
- I start every day with a cup of tea
- I have been scrapbooking for over 5 years now
- My favourite manufacturer currently is Pink Paislee
- I love patterned paper, especially if you can cut out plenty of detail
- I have a minor addiction to acrylic stamps owning an obscene amount of them!
- Apart from Scrapbooking, I love photography, finding new places to visit both near and far and have recently discovered geo-caching which combines all of these loves!
And so, before you leave and continue on the blog hop here is a layout sketch for you, created by the very lovely Tina and my layout (I twisted the sketch counter-clockwise) - using Pink Paislee Amber Road papers (yummy!)
Many thanks for popping by, hope you return again soon, and don't forget to leave a comment before you hop on to Allison's Blog
Welcome to the team girl! So glad to find out more about you! Acrylic stamps = UBERNESS!!! eheheheh love that you turned the sketch around!
