Sunday's Weekly Scrapbooking Round-Up 9th August 2009A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that my daughter had chicken pox... well I now have them BIG TIME! There isn't a square inch that doesn't have a bump... enough said! Just have sympathy for me as I sit and write this covered in itching skin!Anyway, to try to take my mind off things I did actually finish a page that was half done for ages, but

Sunday's Weekly Scrapbooking Round-Up 2nd August 2009 Well I have been visiting my folks in Surrey (here in the UK) for a few days, and we actually ended up with my mum, my sister, her eldest daughter, myself and my daughter all making a mini scrapbook album each! very unusual for all to do something together like that, and it was nice! Three generations scrapbooking! I have also spent yet more

Sunday's Weekly Scrapbooking Round-Up 26th July 2009Poor old Honey has Chicken Pox! Strangely she didn't like the idea of taking photos of her spots for posterity (we all know I want to scrapbook the event!!)! Maybe when she's feeling better, but still shows the evidence? Well we have to scrapbook the not so good events of life too, don't you agree? I feel some of them are just as important,

Sunday's Weekly Round-Up 28th June 2009We have had some lovely weather this week, I have been outside, but as it's difficult to see my Laptop screen outside I have to be indoors for all that stuff, and then there's scrapbooking itself... you can't take it outside, especially if there is a breeze!So actually I have spent a lot of it indoors one way or another!

Sunday's Weekly Round-Up 21st June 2009I had the pleasure of attending a crop yesterday 10.30-4 and I managed to create a page from scratch, or should I say "sketch" or maybe even "scraplift"... confused?

Hello, I hope you have had a good week. I have had a very "Scrapbooky" week I am pleased to say! I had some scrapbooking time with my Mum on a recent visit to her house (once we managed to get my daughter in bed for the evening!) and I made a couple of pages, bought some stash (actually quite a bit...sshhhh!) and then spent yesterday at an all day (10.30-4) local crop where I managed the best

Scrapbooking Layouts – A Very Personal JourneyWhen I started scrapbooking, it was because I could enjoy myself doing paper crafting and it was a beautiful way of displaying all those pictures I had taken over time of family, friends, etc, rather than them all being stuck in their packets (or in folders on my pc).However, since I started, I have realised that scrapbooking is so much more than a

It's been another rushing around week! I expect it's the same for you all, right?One thing I am chuffed about is that I have had a Scrapbooking Page Layout of mine published in the June issue of Scrapbook Inspirations Magazine. It's on Page 66 (the "Fathers" layouts section) Yes it will be Fathers' Day soon! (I subscribe to the mag so get it early and cheaper, but I believe it will be on

Here is a picture of a card I made for the crop last week to help demonstrate a Patchwork style - which was the theme for May's session.I have deliberately not put a greeting on the card, as then I have the flexibility to use it for any occasion, by personalising it when I need to.To make the card, I have adhered the paper onto the card to just hold in place, being careful not to put sticky dots

I wrote this article (and made the video) for a past issue of the SimplyScrapbookingNow.com Newsletter. I reproduce it here for you as I was reminded of the subject again recently when someone asked me... "How do you store all your sheets of stickers, etc?"...I am often asked about how I store all my packets of stash such as stickers and diecuts and rub-ons, etc. Many scrapbookers have all sorts

I thought I would organise myself a bit and create a post that lists the other posts for this week.The reason for that decision is that I want to talk about different things and it's a lot easier to link back to posts which cover one thing at a time, rather than writing one loooong post on a Sunday and including anything and everything!So, this is the "Round-Up" or "Contents list" for the posts

This 12x12 scrapbooking layout is a pretty simple one, it's a single picture and pretty monochromatic design! The photograph is the one I posted a few posts back, about my "micky take" on the Vogue models looking so serious and gloomy all (well most) of the time. The magazine could do with a few more smiley faces - and frankly so could the catwalks!Anyway, that's the reason for the expression!But

Hi there,Well I hope you've had a good week! I went down to Olympia (in London) to the Stitch and Craft Show 2009! I took my FlipVideo with me to take some shots, which I did.

It's Sunday evening and here is the weekly post!Firstly, I wanted to show you a Word Album I made for a friend on the birth of her 2nd son. Now this album is a true hybrid scrapbooking album! That is because all the papers I used on it were printed from my computer! They are digital scrapbooking papers from a kit by Vicki.The papers I used are from the Putting on the Glitz Kit. They were free

This is a birthday card I made from the scraps of a 12x12 scrapbooking layout I posted on the blog a short while ago. Click here to see the Layout.It is an A5 size card (roughly 6x8"). I deliberately tried to stay very close to the design of the layout as it was for a demo to my crop group, showing that many, if not all scrapbooking techniques can be used on cards too.There is more about this

Here is a card that I have made for my niece. I have wanted to make an acrylic card for some time, but actually this is acetate and so not as sustantial as I would like, and so I added the strip of thick paper/ light card down the middle. This is double sided paper/card and so (as you will see form the second picture) I have made use of showing the other side of the paper through the acrylic. I

Did you guess where they are? Is this where you meant Dawn? (see comment on previous post).The two photographs, just with rounded corners and some sandpapering to distress the edges, were tucked under the white-with-black-pattern background paper.All three photographs were the standard 6x4 size shop printed kind and I didn't cut them down very much. In fact I only cut the front photo down a bit.

Here is a picture of a layout I made as an example of "layering" for a demonstration I gave at the last ScrapBuddies crop this month.

Those challenges where you post your creations on your own blog and link back to the blog with the challenge.So here is my "entry" for want of a better word for this week's challenge on the ArtyGirlzChallenge blog which is to include buttons on creation.

Well here is the finished page... if you can call it that! I specifically made it as the first of a number of "Artwork Layouts" I plan to make. This one is hanging on the pinboard I have in front of me in my office/craft room.It's made using the Two Scoops collection from Basic Grey.

I've been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching these past weeks. And I have made some decisions along the way, some choices.I have been keeping this blog completely related to scrapbooking (as much as I can) and at times it can be very restrictive to my creative flow!I didn't want to just trawl the web and bring you links, and I didn't want to bung a load of "chit chat" or personal life

Here is my first page for 2009!It's a multi-photo layout and I have made a couple of short videos showing tips for cropping the photographs and for making the "hinged" photograph and they are in the January SSN.com Newsletter.I wanted to make a page that had a "hand drawn, childlike" feel to it...
