hamilton show layout

On the occasions I actually sit down and do some scrapbooking, I’ve been going back to some old photos and making some fairly simple layouts just to get the pictures out of the box and into the album.Here’s one I finished recently. It’s a double layout from the 2007...

FFS Friday – cuttlebug edition

Yesterday morning I was thinking that nothing had happened that had even remotely made me want to think ‘FFS’. I thought I wouldn’t have a post for FFS Friday.  I needn’t have worried. I thought I’d have a nice relaxing evening doing some scrapbooking. I got out one of...

organising my albums

I’ve been working on my Project Life a lot lately and haven’t been doing much ordinary scrapbooking.Today I decided to do something that I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time – start to put all my layouts into three-ring binders.Until now I’ve been using the “snap load”...

february catch up

Item number 19 on my 100 things to do in 2013: Blog at least three times a week. Number of posts in February: five. That doesn’t quite add up, does it? I’ve started writing several posts and either never finished them, or decided I didn’t want to publish them...

scrapbooking

the boy and the flower

I finished off a couple more layouts this weekend. Both of them, I can quite proudly say, involved using all products I already had at home, other than one sheet of cardboard. The first one is a photo of Juniordwarf when he was at the height of his “don’t...

finishing some layouts

To prove that I do actually finish things, here are some of my recent layouts. The first two have been sitting around half finished in the good old “in progress” file for longer than I care to admit. Autumn Leaves at the Botanical Gardens June 2010 Upside Down May...

Sultanas Layout – a sketch challenge

I haven’t been doing much scrapbooking lately. It seems every time I go into my craft space I spend more time organising my stuff than actually doing anything. Apparently this means I have too much stuff. Who’d have thought?! Every second Friday is scrapbooking night at our local scrapbooking...

Project Life – January – Part 1

My 2012 Project Life album is coming together quite well. This year I’ve stuck with my approach of working month by month, rather than using the “Photo a Day” approach, or doing a spread for each week. These are popular ways to use Project Life, but they don’t really...
