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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
