The Poem

A busy week for me again.
We had our International Reveal at Cocoa Daisy.
I made this LO for our 'Just For Fun' challenge.

Ade and I were having a sort out last weekend and found some notes we'd kept from the kids. There was this poem written by Hollie that she read at our wedding, so I scrapped it. Seeing as it was our wedding anniversary this week it felt even more special.



She was so sweet at 7yrs. No front teeth and just cute.





I also made this for a friend this month.
I love the American Crafts sheet of jars in this kit. So fun to use.



Aside from Cocoa Daisy, I have a beginners Art Journal class in Swindon next Sunday 25th March, if you are interested. 11am-1.30pm at Sparkle Dreams in StudleyGrange (Butterfly World) The class is just £15 each. There are still a couple of spaces.
You can book on 01793 855472

I'm also going to start a 5 week evening scrapbooking course in May at Yateley School.
We will concentrate on making embellishments, use different materials and mediums and get story telling with your photos.
I will have more details for you soon. Numbers are limited, but you can contact me at
lisa@funkyfairies.co.uk if you are interested.

Have a lovely weekend xxx

And the winner is....

The Best Time

I've devoted a blog post to one particular 'daisy' today over at Cocoa Daisy.
I picked 'Margrethe for my 'Daisy Devotion' post.
Margrethe is fairy new to the boards but has slotted right in. She has a lovely scrapbooking style that I instantly took a shine to.
Take a look at the blog post here to see some of her work.

In the blog post you will see that I picked one of her LO's to lift.
I love how she uses colour and has such a way with multi photo LO's.
Here's my take on her LO using the new March Kit 'Pier 39'.

This LO is all about how we have the best time whilst in Florida.
We are planning the next trip and right now that's all I can think about : )






Visit Margrethe's blog to see more of her beautiful work.
Thanks for the inspiration Margrethe xx

Photo Blocks at LESSology

Hi there!!

As I mentioned earlier this week, we have been working on the challenge 'photo blocks' at LESSology.
This created lots of chatter between us as a design team. I can not believe how many different takes there are on this months challenge.
Here is mine.



I found this frame in a charity story (pic below) for just a £1.
I tore off the back and turned it in to the pic above.
The block at the back of the frame is 4x4inches and about 2inches deep.
I've included full step by step instructions on the LESSology blog here. (scroll down til you get to mine)


I loved making this even if the challenge did have me stumped.
Isn't that why we call them challenges though?!
Please do go and see what the others did. It's so fun to see how many different creations came from this. Here
