Thought I would update you on the latest goings-on with the Refurb at The Tally Ho Tearooms!
Well in the last two weeks, Miles has finished a two week slog of painting the ceilings, with at least three coats of paint! Then there are all the walls which have been painted, sometimes up to 4 coats. Nearly [...]
I am often asked how I achieve the “distressed” look to paper edges on my scrapbook layouts and cards… something I do quite a bit, especially on Vintage style things, (layouts and cards).
So I thought it would be a good idea to make a video for you, showing exactly how I crumple, fold and rip [...]
This is a true sketch! It’s even still in pencil - I haven’t drawn it out in pen! I’ve just photographed my sketch for you here. I actually sketched this one whilst sitting in the hairdresser’s chair last week. I always take a scrapbook magazine and a pad and pencil with me… but I digress!
This [...]
Here is the latest card I made using the free downloable/printable vintage style pictures from Heidi.
It’s a quick Birthday Card and was simply made using the card base, a piece of Laura Ashley paper (crumpled at the edges), a piece of lace ribbon tied in the middle with sheer ribbon and a little metal fancy [...]
I posted a picture of this scrapbook page a few posts back. It was a fairly quick page to make and I used the Wisteria Collection from Basic Grey. The reason for me showing it to you again is because I used self-adhesive letters from the sticker sheet included with the collection. I am going [...]

Ok, so who knows what “bonket seating” is then? [...]

I had a message from a new scrapbooking friend via facebook who wrote…
“… can you please tell me where to get a basic starter kit, I have been beg, stealing and borrowing ribbons, bows, buttons, jewellery, etc, but how do I know what scissors, glue, etc. Feeling a bit overwhelmed. Beautiful views here lots to [...]
Here is my latest scrapbook page layout. It’s a 12×12 page and I’ve kept it simple. That’s my order of the day so that I can get some scrapping done in between researching equipment and furniture for the Tearooms!
The papers are from the “Wisteria Collection” from Basic Grey and I printed the pictures altogether on [...]
