scrappin' chics challenge....use a banner!

Hi
Last night i managed to do a few scrap pages while the kids watched a movie before bed. I love the weekends....but don't often get to scrap as much as i want
Im slowly getting my old pics of when i was little scrapped for my album....This one is when we spent time with our cousins while our mums went off to play bingo! Lots of fun memories were made during these times!!
I added a banner with lets play written on it & stamped & embossed a medium bingo stamp i received from Platypus creek stamps.

Head on over to Scrappin' Chics Challenge Blog to enter their August Challenge of using Pennants or Banners.....go on it is so easy!!!

Later this afternoon im off to a Stampin up retirement party...sounds like so much fun....i might pre order the new catalogue!!

Etching glass

Hi
well for the last few months ive been on the hunt for etching cream....i went everywhere to find some but had no luck! I then searched ebay again & found some.....i needed it to make my grandmas 90th birthday present for this weekend....i had given up on the idea as i didnt think there would be a chance it would arrive here within 2 days from over east...but it arrived this morning!!

I have never etched before so was surprised at how easy it is....i used contact ( my vinyl also hasnt arrived from overseas yet) & my cricut & i had a few glasses & vase ready to be etched!!

Here is the Glass

& a photo of the etching cream on the glass...i scrapped off the excess & put it back into the bottle before rinsing the glass in water to remove the remaining etching cream.
I also did a vase/candle holder with a dragonfly & grandmas year of birth 1921. I used Storybook cart & i cant think if it was gypsy wandering for the dragonfly or not.

I cant believe grandma is going to be 90 in a few days time....she is amazing!!

Western Australia is supposed to get a cyclone come through in the next few days...im hoping it passes us & doesn't cause any damage to anyone or anything.....stay safe everyone!!
