So Many Stickers

Shimelle's challenges from last weekend have really motivated my scrapbooking again. I am getting home from work and disappearing into my craft room to make another page for the challenge. I've actually set myself a little challenge to make a page each night after work.Hopefully if I stay on track I should complete all of the challenges before the deadline on Sunday. 
This challenge was to use stickers, well this is something I really need to do, I buy sheets of them and then just save them, so this was easy just out my hand in the pile and out came the Christmas ones from October Afternoon
Also last year I purchased Shimelles Journal your Christmas prompts and read them all, but that's all I did read them. This year I will make the album and in fact I have started making some of the embellishments. I've decided to journal all my Christmas memories rather than just one particular Christmas.
I found out this photo and made up the first 8x8 page for my album of Christmas memories. I had already picked the paper theme of bright colours so it came together quite quickly.
This page was based on a layout taught by Emma Trout at the Inspired retreat, all those years ago. (LOL)

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 ...
