New pages




After a longish day driving down to pick middle son up from Uni,once home I got the old washing machine on the go and decided to sit and do some scrapping and managed to get three pages done.The photos are not very good as the flash was bouncing off them and spoiling them so without the flash they don't seem so good- hey ho !

Alice rocks - I think !

After making sure I got tickets this morning for himself to go and see his idol Alice Cooper for the 11th year in a row,although he has seen him every time he's been to the UK since the 1970s - I decided to scrap a photo of him,we went to the Black Forest last year and combined it with seeing Alice in concert(a first for me)this was all for himself's 50th. Anyway, he now has tickets and will be going with his brother this year.(Not sure I want to make a habit of going!)I used the DCWV Rockstar papers.

Christmas ?

Yeah I know it's only nearly June but I was watching tv the other day and they were showing a Christmas kit that I remembered I'd got somewhere so I decided to find it and make some cards for a nice relaxing bank holiday afternoon. Anyway - I made a few cards and then did another page from the Craftystash crop that Sue had there last week.So all in all had a nice relaxing time.

Busy evening

I had a lovely evening tonight crafting.I finished the third page from the crop on Sunday which was the star one. I got another page done and made some cards too. I bought some 'Cut and Paste' ephemera die cuts by K & Co at the crop on Sunday and have used some on the cards. Off to bed now as it's late.

Been Cropping

I went to the Craftystash crop on Sunday and unusually for me managed to get two pages done and a third nearly finished. As usual I really enjoyed the day and it went far too quickly.
A while ago I signed up for a series of online classes called 'In Loving Memory' with Tania Willis,which is an album dedicated to a lost loved one. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but its something I really wanted to do with memories of mum. Anyway, I have done the first page now!Tania has a lovely way with her and I'm looking forward to doing the pages.

Another page

I have been meaning to do this page from Cleo who has now taken over at Bellaboo for ages and as I really liked the photo we had taken at the weekend,decided to set to and do the page.It's funny how I can be really de motivated and then it only takes a really good day at a crop to get me going again,and the fact that I have had a serious tidy up of my stash and can actually find things now (no comments from my friend Deb please)!

Finished You Rock

I've really enjoyed doing this project that we started on Saturday,I've not stuck completely to the original but it's more or less the same.I put some photos in of the boys last night but I'd already taken the pics so never mind !Here are just a few of the pages.

Another page from Scrapmates

At a risk of being controversial, here is the other page I have just finished from the Scrapmates crop on Saturday, after nearly being thrown out of the crop by the organiser who is a staunch ahem Ar****l fan (there, I didn't say the whole word)I thought the sheild idea was great for these photos- well, let's face it,you have to celebrate a win even if it was last year...

What a busy and fun day

I had yesterday, it was our youngest son's 18th birthday and they were going off to footie after a morning of visits and then out for the evening, and I had a brilliant day scrapping here.We did a couple of pages in the morning and then a class with Lance Anderson from Rusty Pickle which was right on for me - I love mini books and love Rusty Pickle stuff- what a great way to spend National Scrapbooking Day ...
