I have kept everything that I have ever bought for scrapbooking. I don’t purge. So when I did this layout I was going through my stash thinking to myself: I am going to complete this layout with all my old crap. Ok, so it’s not the best layout and the PP is like 8 years …
Luke, wearing his hat for the Easter Hat Parade. I had some hot glue gun lovin’ and now I want to hot glue everything. It isn’t appropriate for my scrapbook though, I suppose.
Literary Week come dressed as your favourite book character day: Kate as Alice in Wonderland and Luke as a bear out of his favourite book ‘I can… can you?’ Making the costumes drove me crazy, but I got there in the end and I must say, besides the fact that Kate is soooo skinny so …
I scrapped this layout of Amy for the blind CC over at The Scrapbook Establishment. Other than that, we had a family portrait done today. The result was good and I can’t wait to get the photo in 2 weeks time. Well, back to these costumes I am making for the kids for school.
A birthday and some layouts I have been busy, I have recommenced studying this year. It’s exciting and I am throwing myself into it with gusto. I study while Amy is alseep which is convenient. The only downside is, I seemto have no spare time left anymore. Not to worry, stuvac will be here before …
A birthday and some Offbeat layouts. Bear in mind that the last 2 layouts use really old pre-scrapbooking photos so the photos are a bit dodgy, but hold special memories and moments and deserve to be preserved also. And we had a birthday. Luke turned 5. He knew that his birthday was just before school …
Where’d the week go? Do you ever think to yourself ‘I’ll do that later’ and then you realise it is like a whole week later? I do. All the time. I am not sure if it’s because of working nights that I seem to lose days, but sometimes I feel like a day has passed …
Some awards and more Project 365 I received this tag a while ago from this super chick, Skye, who I met through the forums over at Scrapbooking Memories. And I received this award from Lisa, who I met through the SM forums also, and Tanya, who is the newest member of the DT over at …
Project 365 I decided, I don’t know what I was thinking, that I would participate in Project 365. Basically, I have to not flake out and remember to take a photo every day. For the next 359 days. I wonder if I will see it through. I hope so. If anything, just to improve my …
Well, it’s been a while… This might be a big post but only because we have had a couple of big weeks. Most noteable though is Steve has been on holidays for the last week and a half. I have really loved having him home. Even though I still had to trudge out to work …
Probably a big post. Sorry about that. Day 3 of Ali’s 25 Days of Christmas: Amy has learnt to climb onto the chair in her room. After I change her nappy I usually leave her to have some quiet play time while I wash my hands etc, but I wont be able to now as …
Newsletter layouts. The next edition of The Scrapbook Establishment’s newsletter is out and I had the pleasure of creating for it. I was given BG Urban Prairie to work with. Can I just say how divine it is! It is gorgeous! I struggled to scrap these layouts as I really wanted to do the range …
A Top 10 layout. Lusi, ages ago, asked if I would like to contribute a layout to her Top 10 feature in Scrapbook Creations. Of course. The theme was stationary and well, I love stationary as much as I love scrapbooking, so it worked out well. After about 3 weeks I finally finished my layout. …
A dare. Completed. Over in the TSE forums, Vita dared me to create a layout using some of the Kaisercraft big square brads. Well, I do love a challenge, so I thought I would throw in some of the Kaisercraft large square rhinestones aswell. Now, I have slightly agonised over my embellishment position and ended …
A DT layout and a zoo trip. I have had these photos developed for ages and I never knew how I should go about scrapping them. I saw Julie had done a layout and titled it Pit Crew Boss and I knew the theme was perfect! I am pretty bad with titles! Sometimes I would …
A sketch and some scones. The October sketch challenge is up at The Scrapbook Establishment and I created the sketch! It was very exciting to do and I think it could be quite addictive to create them! (I guess, just ask Becky Higgins! LOL!) You can either create a layout or a card and you …
A layout, omissions and a photo, just one. So, I scrapped a layout for Apple Blossom Studios. The stamps really are great. So sticky and big and yummy. I was going to do a girly layout, but decided that I really wanted to use the Military Kaisercraft patterned paper I got in my order from …
It’s been a while… Since I have blogged here. I have been busy, but aren’t we all? Lots of stuff has happened over the last 3 or so weeks. Amy got her first tooth. Well, her first two teeth. Once that first one came through, the next one just popped up right next to it. …
I have been neglectful Of this blog in the last week or so. It’s because nothing has happened because I have been unwell. It really hit me hard. The doctor gave me three days off work and at first I thought that was too much, but in the end I don’t think it was enough! …
The last challenge. The last challenge was harder than I thought for the DT comp at Scraploot. You had to ‘jack’ one of the layouts by the current DT members. I can do sketches, I can do colours, but I find it hard to copy someones work. I don’t know why. But in the end …
