Scrap365 Layout

I think this is the LO that has just been published in Scrap365, I haven't seen a copy of the mag yet, but am hoping to get it from Paperarts on Friday when I go for the 12hr crop.....best book my place, as it looks like it will be busy....
I've also got a class on the 21st, so will put up a sneak peek asap. Its a Xmas LO, thought it best to do after the event, so that I actually get our Xmas scrapped before the next one !!!

Snow Cute

I'm not sure how many of you read the UK's Scrapbook Magazine, but this is one of the LO's I designed for the scraplift feature in the Decembers Issue. I got sent the Bo Bunny papers to work with, and found this photo that our eldest DD had taken of her and little DD many years ago. It was a nice surprise as it was on a CD that she was going to throw away - purely because she couldn't be bothered to sort out her pile of stuff/junk she'd left here before going off to Uni 3 years ago......


So this is made with: Bo Bunny papers, Scrap FX title, Inkadinkadoo stamp, Prima flowers, Marianne designs chrismas tree branch die, Martha Stewart loop corner punch and Snow tex, which I love adding to snowy pages!

My Last Class at Paperarts before Xmas

This was the class that I taught just before Xmas, not a lot of cutting out again,(I didn't want people to have blisters for Xmas, might interfere with basting the turkey or something). But I think people are missing it, so they'll probably be lots of cutting out on my next LO, which I believe is the 21st Jan at PaperArts. I'll put up a sneak peek when I've actually done the lO.


I'm thinking I need to have a good old tidy up of my 'craft room', especially all my patterned papers. I end up with lots of baggies full of scraps that I've used for each page and try (usually unsucessfully) to sort them out and file them back in colours...I've lots and lots that need doing at the moment, so as all the children are occupied I might have a sort out.... Or I might just do some more blogging as I'm so far behind !!!

A whole Lot of LO's

Todays Class

This was todays class at PaperArts, I think everybody had fun, not too much cutting out, but obviously inking everything !!! Its interesting to find out that several DH's are liking the LO's I do too....

We used some Authentique & Cosmo Cricket papers, marianne dies & MME stamps. I also brought in my old, old typewriter to encourage more journaling.....I've now got orders for old typewriters if I can find them !!

Next weekend at PaperArts

A little sneak peek of next weeks class at PaperArts, lovely yellow and orange, autumn colours, 2 7x5" photos, a little cutting out, stamping and inking....and cake of course...

Here is what we did on Saturday.

This is what we did at PaperArts for this weeks class, it was inking and water distressing. I was pleased to see that people are relaxing a little, and getting happier to spritz water over the gorgeous papers and then crunch them up......I love the linen texture it produces.....I did add some journalling with my ancient typewriter, but haven't been able to photo it, as I left it in the shop. I think the LO was up on the wall before I even left !!!!


Next class I believe is Nov 26th, but I will be at Paperarts for their open weekend, doing some demos, so please come along and join in the fun and laughs and eat cake !!!
