Something Different

So this was something new, one of the girls asked me if I could make her some Eid cards, always up for a challenge I made 5 after she approved the first one. I decided to use different colours. I'm happy to say she loved them. Eid Mubarak, Hannah!

Did anybody join in with Kirsty's cybercrop on Wednesday? Missed it? Don't worry she's planning another one on the coming Wednesday, put the date in your diary, it's a bit of Wednesday fun!

Has anybody signed up for the Cathy Zielske course over on Big Picture Scrapbooking? I like the idea that this has been inspired by the book an encyclopedia of an ordinary life. The course is called Me: the abridged version. I was completely captured by the concept and ordered the book. I'm sure many scrapbookers are like me and tell every body's story except their own. Why would we we're just ordinary aren't we? Yes we are and that's exactly what we should be talking about the normal, everyday. I can't wait for it to start!

It is important that you include your UKScrappers name in your comment. I have created a page with some handmade flowers, I was inspired by the beautiful Prima branches, as usual I looked at them and thought I bet I could make those. This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use ...

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout. Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking. I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic. Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued ...

I have had quite a productive few weeks on the scrapbooking front, there is nothing like a retreat followed closely by national Scrapbooking Day and a few challenges that get your creativity going. I mentioned previously that I was going to Scrapstars and as usual it didn't fail to deliver, it was great to meet up and catch up with everybody. Tracee Provis was one of the teachers, she is such fun and this was one of the layouts she taught. I loved the fun colours and it was a great opportunity for me to scrap a photo from 37 years ago and my first girls holiday to Jersey. It was also my best friends birthday this week and a milestone birthday deserves a special card. She loves cakes, her garden and bling, luckily I got all of them onto her card.
