TIME - Make it, don’t Find it!

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 [...]

Our New Addition

This is the new addition to my household!  1,2,3… Ahhhhh!  A sleeping puppy!  My daughter has named her Rosie and she is a Jack Russell.

She is very cute and very small and she will be experiencing her first vet visit this coming week!  I suppose I ought to get scrapbooking some pictures!

Scrapbook Your Own Gratitude Journal! Tutorial

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 [...]

Scrapbook Flower Tutorial - Grunge flowers

As I haven’t been able to make many of my usual tutorials of late, I thought I would bring to you some other people’s tutorials. 
Here is a nice clear tutorial on how to make these lovely flowers.  It’s on Kerri’s blog.

Scrapbooking to a Better Life - Try Intentional Scrapbooking

Sometimes in life (in my case quite often since opening a Tearooms business which seemed to hit the ground running!) you can feel a bit overwhelmed by all the ’stuff’ on your ‘ToDo’ list.  I felt a bit like this recently and decided to down tools… well in an office/admin sort of way and clear [...]

Here’s a video for you! Here I am showing you a couple of items I have made with my scrapbooking supplies that aren’t scrapbook pages.
I use my stash for all sorts of things, especially now that I own and run a Tearooms!  But both of these items could be used as gifts, if slightly tweeked… you’ll [...]

Lovely Cute Touchy Feely Mini Album

My friend Lean, whose dog Misty looks very much like my dog Inde, has recently made a beautiful Mini Album of her dog and the place where she takes Misty for a walk.

You must go take a look at it, I just want to reach out and touch it!  Lots of lovely layering and lace, [...]

Word Mini Album Tutorial

My fellow scrapper and “Teammie” on UK Scrappers, Lou, has recently made a Word Mini Album and shared how she made it on her blog.  So I thought I would let you know where to find her blog post, so that you can try to make one too.    (Lou’s Blog Post here) 

I made a Word [...]

Photography Tip for Scrapbookers

On my Walk in October I took some photographs of the sky as the sun was setting. And I mentioned that I would use one of those photos with white lettering out of the black siloutted landscape in the foreground for some cards.
Well I wanted to give you a TIP with regard to leaving “white [...]

School Fair Scrapbook Page

I actually made this page whilst sitting with my (soon to be 7 year old) daughter for an hour or so last Sunday!  She actually wanted to do some scrapbooking - she’d been thumbing through some of my albums I had left out.  So I got out some stash and set up a table, and [...]
