Another Christmas Scrapbook Page .....

Hi everyone, I have another page from my Christmas Scrapbook to share with you today.  Today's page is about taking Grace and my little niece Anya to see Father Christmas.   I'm not sure I should have done the journalling on such dark paper but you can see it in real life! 

I am off to my sister's for New Year's Eve so I'm looking forward to that. I hope you all have a wonderful evening whatever you are doing!

Christmas Scrapbook Page 2nd of December ........

Hi everyone well my Christmas scrapbook is progressing slowly.  This is my layout for the 2nd of December showing Grace with a new advent calendar I made her at Craftaganza. It has 24 little boxes and one big one for Christmas day. 

Well, things are finally progressing with my Christmas plans, the cards are all sent well apart from hubby's that I have not made yet! The presents are wrapped and the tesco shop is all ordered ready to be delivered on Friday night, that feels a big relief!

If any of my blogging buddies are interested we are having a DT call over at Winter Wonderland.  As a DT member  you only need to make one card a fortnight and you will end up super organised all ready for next Christmas. You can see all the other details here. 

I hope your Christmas preparations are all coming on well.
Thanks for stopping by.

A Christmas Card ...............

Hi everyone, my blog has been a bit quiet this week, work has been busy and Grace has had 2 plays and 2 Christmas parties all on one day so its been a hectic time.  I've been busy today trying to get my Christmas cards all written.  Just some more to post tomorrow and I'm nearly getting there.  I still have gifts to buy and presents to wrap but I'm sure I will get there, that's what I'm telling myself anyway!

Journal Your Christmas

Hi everyone, a second post from me tonight to just share the first page of my Christmas journal that I am making this year.  I'm taking part in Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas online scrapbooking class.   My goal you will see from my title page is to make a page for every day right through to January.  As part of the class you receive daily prompts of suggestions for your journal as well as a photography prompt.  As I don't have the time to do a layout every day I'm taking photos and writing post it notes and putting in my journal for each day so that when I get time to a layout it should come together really quickly.   As well as recording memories I want this journal to help keep me focused on the magic of Christmas and not get stressed about everything that I still need to do. 

I  hope to be posting some more completed layouts very soon!
Thanks for stopping by.

More E-craft Samples ...............

Hi everyone I have some e-craft samples to share with you tonight.  On my first card the flower is cut on the e-craft and then sprayed with water and scrunched up to give it so much shape. I love these shabby chic kind of flowers.   This flower was from one of the image cards called fundamentals 2.   

My second card tonight is quite a simple one for me but I'm pleased with how it turned out.   The swirl leaf is from another e-craft image card called Swirls and Flourishes which is packed with gorgeous cuts. 

 You can see the e-craft and image cards at the Crafter's Companion website.  Don't forget to see Leann Chivers on Create and Craft between 11am and 1pm demonstrating the e-craft tomorrow. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Some e-craft Samples ..........

Hi everyone, I have some e-craft samples to share with you today.   If you have not heard of the e-craft before it is a fantastic electronic die cutting machine but it is different to other machines in that it does not need a sticky mat  to make your cuts with.    Leann Chivers from Crafter's Companion will be demonstrating this fantastic machine on Create and Craft on Sunday at 11am - 1pm and 5pm and 7pm. 

The beautiful poinsettia on my first card was cut on the e-craft and the papers are from the
Winter Cheer SWALK CD. 

On my second card I have cut the butterfly on my e-craft, I am so in love with these butterflies! The papers are from the SWALK CD and a darice embossing folder.

Cath Kidston Card ...........

Hi everyone, well I had a few lovely days at Craftaganza and made some lovely craft projects and learnt some new techniques, I will show you some pictures of my projects soon.  However my lovely days away were soon forgotten when I got home as by the time I got back Saturday night my little Grace had started being sick and by Monday evening I was spending the night in hospital with her on a drip as she had acute gastroentertis.  I am so glad we only had to spend one night in hospital and Grace improved enough to come home the next day.  I only got about an hour's sleep when were in hospital so I was in bed at 6.30pm last night!  My little Grace is on the mend now but its going to take a while till she is properly better.

So this is a card that I made a few weeks for my husband's auntie.   I am a bit of Cath Kidston fan so when I went Christmas shopping a few weeks ago in York I brought some wrapping paper from the Cath Kidston shop and I thought it work well as backing paper for cards which is how I have used it here. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Trick or Treat?

Hi everyone, I have a layout to share with you today which I made for some of the challenges of Shimelle'sPretty Paper Class online class which I'm taking part in at the moment.  I am really enjoying this class and learning so much.  The challenges for this layout were to add dimension which I have done with my rosette flower and to use smaller photos.  As I had no Halloween themed papers I just found some in my stash which were the right colour and I am quite pleased with how it turned out. 

The journalling on my page is about Grace enjoying the trick or treaters calling round to the house.  I've so pleased I've made another page and recorded another story for Grace to look back on when she grows up.

A Handmade Fairy .............

Hi everyone I have another scrapbook page to share with you today which I made as part of Shimelle's pretty paper party online class which I'm taking part in.  The challenge for this page was to use Kraft cardstock plus one other colour.  I think I went a bit overboard on the Kraft cardstock here but it at least this is another memory recorded.   I did manage to also use some paper I have had in my stash for at least five years so that felt really good to be using some of it up.  This layout was about Grace going to a fairy craft class at centre parcs when we went on holiday in September.  She said this class was her favourite about her holiday!

I've scheduled this post as the new Range opened yesterday in King's Lynn so I thought I should check out the craft section today, well it would be rude not too!

A Scrapbook Layout .....

I have a second post for today, that does not happen very often!  Anyway I have a layout to share with you that I made as I am taking part in Shimelle's Pretty Paper Scrapbooking Online Class.

I've never taken part in an online class before but I am really enjoying it and learning so much!  The challenge for this layout was to use a patterned paper for the background instead of cardstock.  Now this was quite a challenge for me as I always start off with plain cardstock but I really like the look of this page and I will be doing more like this in the future. I also used three different manufacturers of paper and that is something I don't do very often either.

I have another card and layout to share tomorrow so please stop by your comments are very much appreciated.

A Scrapbook Layout and Ally Pally Pics!

Hi everyone, well no cards to share today but I do have this layout of my little Grace.  This photo is one of my favourites that I have taken of her just lately and it was just a quick snap on my phone.

I have used stash from Scrapagogo Monthly Kit to create this page.   The kits making putting a page together to easy. Instead of turning my craft room upside down looking for stash Scrapagogo  have done all the hard work putting everything together for you.  The part not from the kit are the swirls in the corners of the pages which I stamped and embossed with white embossing powder and the flower which I cut on my e-craft.

I had the most fanastic time yesterday at Ally Pally with my friends Marianne and Lisa and brought lots of lovely crafty goodies. I also got to meet up with my lovely Crafter's Companion DT buddy Jacqui and two lovely blogging buddies Vicky and Heidi. 

 I didn't think I had that much in my bag but as you can see by the picture below I did have lots of lovely stash!

Thanks for stopping by.
