Lyndall's Craft Time http://www.lyndalls-craft-time.com makin' it with paper!

So I have decided that it must be time for me to down tools, have a couple weeks off from crafting and hopefully start creating some decent stuff.

Happy Crafting

I think he looks cute, but he does not seem too impressed :) .

Ever thought about getting a greyhound as a pet?  I highly recommend them.  K.D is the most docile amd gentle creature.  He is just like a lap dog, just 10 times bigger.  K.D lives happily beside our two cats, Sox & Taffy and 3 silkie chickens Mario (has gender confusion:)), Rocky & Gingy.  Though there is a waiting list if you want a cat friendly greyhound.  Another great reason to get a greyhound as a pet is to save their lives.  Mostly in the greyhound racing industry once a greyhound is deemed ‘unviable’ they get a bullet to the head.  Such a shame to have that happen to these beautiful and loving animals.
The GAP (Greyhound Adoption Program) fosters greyhound, access the hounds suitability to live in a loving home and does some basic training.  Then match the dogs with a suitable family.  Click here for the GAP program in Victoria Australia or google for one in your state / country.

Hello,
Wow what is going on, two scrapbook L.O’s in a month!  :)
I took on the challenge from Scrapbook Capital to incorporat a doily into a LO.  I have used my doily die from Die-Namics to cut doily’s with co-ordinating papers.  I am really happy with how this LO turned out.

Pull Out Journal Card Reads:
Did you know that I love Fine Bone China?  My Great Aunty Eve was a lover of beautiful elegant things.  I used to love going to her house in Beaumaris amongst the antiques and fineries.  We would always eat from fine bone china dinner plates and with sterling silver cutlery.  After we would sip tea from beautiful ornate cups & saucers.  When Uncle Col died I got some of Aunty Eve’s cup and saucer collection.  Over time I have added to this collection.  I have always been afraid to use it.  I have decided this year to throw caution to the wind and start using it.

Flower Punches: SU & Spellbinders
Alpha Die: Tim Holtz Sizzix
Doily Die: Die-Namics

I love how this card I made for my bested buddy Caz came out.
