Me and my hubby visited a bus show 4 years ago with our youngest son Peter,had a great time having rides on the buses,taking photos and chatting with the drivers so thought it was time to do the album and give to hubby on Fathers Day. Used card from stash, Tim Holtz 'retro grunge' papers, martha stewart punches, jigsaw pieces,old bus magazines, papermania portobello road vintage stamp set,black soot distress ink and peel off letters.
Right thats me done now,managed to visit and leave comments on all but 5 blogs last week (unable to comment or kicked me off!) but not sure will make it this week as back at work but i will do my best and i always visit peeps who have left me a comment.
Have a good day all,x

ReplyDeleteFab album you have created. Love the jigsaw pieces. Thanks so much for the ATC and the reason you are still waiting for yours is because I still haven't posted it!! Put it safely in my bag and then forgot ... will post it in the morning. If it doesn't arrive within a fortnight I will owe you another one, I promise.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Fabulous album. Lots of work went into it.
ReplyDeleteLove your album with all these beautiful photos. Love the papers you've used. They match perfect with the colours of the buses. Thanks for visiting me and hope you have a crafty week. Bye, Franka
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely album and that paper is fab. I have been looking at that thinking it is not me. But I think it is now!
ReplyDeleteYou need some scratch 'n' sniff pages in there! Hee Hee!
wow super Kay ... I am sure you enjoyed putting it together and I am sure your hubby will love it ... have a great day ... happy crafting and love sandy xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mini-album, and smashing ATCs you've received.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment on my blog, Kay, and I'm so glad you like my zentangles and ATCs. I've always adored poppies and thought they would lend themselves well to the technique.
Sorry to be so long responding but I've been having problems with my comments awaiting moderation not being visible - it turns out it's a Blogger/Firefox problem since the latest Firefox upgrade, so I'm temporarily using IE till they sort it out - hopefully soon!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #15
Sorry to be so late visiting Kay but the decorating has meant that getting into my craft room has been difficult. Decorating is done now so as soon as everything is put back in its place things will be back to normal…whatever that is!
ReplyDeleteYour mini album is coming along very nicely and I love the cover, it brought a smile to my face. The photos reminded me of all the all busses we saw when we visited the Black Country Museum is Dudley a few years back.
Thanks for stopping by this week.
Happy Crafting!
