I have wanted to display some scrapbooked elements in my Tearooms for some time as I thought it would be nice to embellish the place with some hand made decoration.
Obviously I want to stay within the theme of all things tea related and/orVictorian (as it has a Victorian Theme to the tearooms), and so I [...]
Speed Scrapping! Do you think it’s something we do just as a challenge or fun? Some Scrapbookers maybe, but the reason I speed scrap mainly is to actually get a layout finished in this day and age!
The days of being able to spend multiple hours on a layout have not returned yet and my scrapbooking [...]
Here is a recent offering! Mostly Basic Grey papers. I am pleased that I managed yet another multi-photo page, using 4 photographs.
Roughly scrunched ribbons and lace held with brads and a bunch of colour co-ordinated buttons finish it off.
This was one of the scrapbook kits I made myself to take away with me when I [...]
Well that’s my excuse anyway! This scrapbook page is basically finished apart from a possible title and possibly some journaling. But I’ve posted it already because actually, it could be finished now.
I’ve used a Vertical Border Page Accent (Tutorial Video Here) and a simple patterned paper extended mat for the photograph and a few items [...]
The photograph on this scrapbook page is one I took with my phone in a shop on the sea front in Great Yarmouth (England), when I took my daughter there to visit the Sea Life Centre back in February! I found the words on the packaging of a charm bracelet rather poignant.
The bracelet was quite [...]
You may remember I wrote an article on Page accents, then later I showed another, using straight border page accents. Well this time it’s a circle! So the basis for this page was a 12×12 peice of paper for the background with a 5 inch circle of patterned paper added, include a photo and the [...]
I may make this a regular blog post, something a little bit controversial, but for now I think we’ll ‘take issue’ with a couple of items in the latest issue of Scrapbook Magazine, to which I subscribe.
Issue 56, which I received June 28th, includes some ‘off the page’ scrapbooking. It is a good idea to use [...]
Below is a video tour (brief) of my version of the K&Co Smashbook, which I think is a good idea by the way, just don’t like their designs that much, not my style. But I think the company has thought it through well, with all the little extras.
Above is Honey’s effort - she is 7 [...]
Yes that slippery thing called Time! Everyone complains of not having enough of it. Well I say that you have to MAKE TIME for those things you enjoy as a matter of health!
Fellow crafters are often saying that they just don’t get the time to do their crafting. Some of my scrapbooking group only managed [...]
I had an email from Basic Grey today to let me know about a new craft video using one of their Collection packs. It is a video on how to make a Gratitude Journal.
If you have seen any of my previous articles on Intentional Scrapbooking and my musings on “the Secret” then you will know [...]
