ScrapBuddies Workshop - Mini Back-Pack Scrapbook Album

At a recent ScrapBuddies ‘get together’  I demonstrated how to make this little Back Pack Scrapbook Album and some of the group followed along to make their own.  It’s all of 3 inches wide, and is very cute.
I got the idea from HERE and you will also find the instructions as to how to make one [...]

Resting Place for my Beloved Dog

I mentioned in a recent post (An October Walk), where I posted some pictures of an oak tree, that I would post a little story about a special Oak.
Well, not too long ago I lived in a house which we renamed “Badgers Oak” when we moved in.  There was a magnificent Oak tree in the [...]

Cute Video - Little Boy and his Dog

I found this video in a roundabout way via a scrapbooking online mag belive it or not.
Made better with the sentiment of the song, you’ll most likely know the singer straight away!

An October Walk

On one of my recent walks with the Dogs I was delighted to witness a beautiful twilight!  My favourite time of day, but so fleeting.  However with the advent of the humble mobile phone camera, I now have a camera with me (most of the time) to be able to capture that fleeting moment in [...]

Latest Scrapbook Layout - “Cute”

This is the first large (12×12) single photo scrapbook page I have made in a while.  Actually it’s the first “any type” of scrapbook page I have made in a while, but we’ll gloss over that shall we?!
I made myself STOP what I was “working” on and told myself to just DO some scrapbooking.  I [...]

FREE Download - Genuine Vintage Letter

I’ve had a request for some Vintage letters for use on cards and scrapbook pages!  I mentioned a while ago about some Very old Genuine letters my husband had in his possession. (click here for the article and video)
Anyway Sue, from Canada, has asked if I could let her know where she can download any [...]

Video Tutorial - Budget Blooms to Scrapbooking Flowers in Minutes

I have managed to upload a new Video - woo hoo!  It’s an add-on really from the very first video I posted on You Tube (well scrapbooking one anyway) which was about taking apart shop bought ’silk’ flowers and using them on scrapbook pages.
Well this one shows which is the best colour to buy (in [...]

Simple Question - No answer!

My daughter (aged 6) asked me a very simple and resonable question last night at the dinner table.  It was a question to which my reply was…
“Actually, I have absolutely no idea, and I’m not sure where, or if, I could find a definite answer!”
Trust a child to come up with a simplicity of life that [...]

Day 18 - A Different Type of Card!

Ok, I was just fiddling with this one!  What to do with a couple of wet crumpled flowers? lol.  I also cut some leaf shapes and roughly crumpled them to give some interest as the two flowers looked a bit odd on their own!

If you wish to see the video of how to make the [...]

Day 17 - folded layers Card

This is a sweet picture of a little girl, and one that I would think, would definitely appeal to Grannies everywhere!  Ooh, is that being ageist?
Anyway, I used a whole 6×6 piece here and border punched opposite sides and then put in graduated folds for interest.  I suppose I got the idea so that it [...]
