In a bid to escape the overwhelming heat and to try out cameras we took a walk around the Royal Estate at Sandringham this afternoon. There’s a sculpture trail which is reasonably short as well as the longer walks.
We plan to visit the house and gardens at some point but the trails are an excellent (and free!) day out. Nice ice cream too!
So my WOYWW gave a hint to this layout and here’s the finished article. Quite happy with it, despite a couple of mishaps with trying to outline the title letters (hence the scalloped circles!)
Haven’t quite got the hang of photographing layouts yet. I may have to resort to blutacking them to the wardrobe door again to get them level!
That’s three layouts this week…I must go and lie down in a darkened room!!
I don’t usually do football, I’m one of those who gets on the bandwagon (to a certain extent) every 4 years for the world cup. I couldn’t tell you who most of the England players play for except the likes of Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard, but I do sit and watch the games in the world cup.
Last weekend Dad bought home an England flag that he’d been given (along with a Welsh one that will come out for the Six Nations next year). Well Dooley was sleeping, so I decided to play.
Obviously this was finished before yesterday’s match, but I still think my puss-cat can play football with the best of them!
Completed this layout on Saturday evening. I’ve always loved books and it’s an expensive hobby to buy new, especially when you don’t know what you’re getting as such lol. I’ve a collection of read-once books on my shelves!
Our local library is a lovely old building and very welcoming so as I’ve just started getting back into reading for pleasure after studying for 6 years I decided to document my love of books and libraries.
Scrapping this weekend has taken my mind off the fact that someone somehow has purchased £450 worth of stuff online on my card that I have no knowledge of! Cue emergency call to bank to get it sorted. Luckily it is all in the process of being sorted! Pure chance that I checked my account on Saturday to see if I could warrant buying a couple of dies for the cuttlebug!! They’ll have to wait a while now!
My cat is the source of many many photos but only occasionally do I get one that makes me laugh out loud after the event. On Tuesday I bought a new portable mobility scooter to go in the car and it’s currently in the conservatory charging up. Dooley likes sitting on it. Well yesterday Mum lifted her onto the seat when I had my camera and this is what I managed to take!
First time I’ve done this but as part of my plan to start blogging more I figured it’d be a good way to start!
I’ve only got a tiny table to craft on but I also use my desk next door if I have to lol.
I’ve got two projects on the go (well…2 that I have just started…there are plenty more sitting in other places waiting to be finished!), my graduation album and a mini book charting a year in our garden. I’m making great use of my nestabilities and my gorgeous little cuttlebug too!
I’ve made a start on the album to show off my graduation photos from the other weekend. I’ve taken a 7gypsies accordion book and cut the pages so it’s a regular book.
I inked the boards with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and edged the Blue Awning paper with Old Paper before doing the same with the mini alphabets. Along with a 7gypsies 97% sticker and some ribbon the covers were done.
The little card shows the date and location of the ceremony and is held in by one of the ribbon ties so that it will flip to reveal the picture.
Hopefully by posting the progress of the album here it will encourage me to actually finish something!!!
A few more of my scrapbook layouts from the past few months. I’m trying to resurrect my blog which lost it’s way when I lost my way on the Blogging For Scrapbookers class so hopefully I can set it going once again.
These are some pages from a while ago that I’ve never uploaded to here before. These were made using the Brenda Pinnick Mega Kit from QVC. I still have most of it!!!
