As some of you may remember I am part of a Scrapbooking “cyber” team over on UKScrappers.co.uk and this week it was our Team’s turn to set the Challenge for anyone who wants to take part.
This is what it says…
The Rockin’ Ribbon Raiders have had great fun setting the challenge for this week! And Yay! We [...]

I Made It - Scrapbook Page by SundayL

Following on from a personal scrapbook page I made last year with the title “I Can Do This”, which was made as encouragement for myself to keep going and stop doubting myself  (with regard to this massive gamble my husband and I were taking by buying a closed pub and turning it into a Tearooms!)…

Multi-Photo Scrapbook Page using a Border Page Accent

Following on from the Video Tutorial showing how to make a Border Page Accent.  Here is the finished page using the page accent.
As you can see, there is little else needed on this page! I have added a length of ribbon and doodled down one side, but apart from that, the Border page accent is [...]

Video Tutorial - Border Page Accents for Scrapbook Pages

I could waffle on… but instead I have made a video… and waffled on in there instead! lol
Anyway, In a recent demo at my ScrapBuddies Group I gave a demonstration as to how easy it is to make these handy, what are effectively blocks of embellishments, to brighten up your pages.  Or even, the border [...]

Scrapbooking - Vertical Page Design

I finally got around to photographing my 8×8 Scrapbook page which has a vertical design!  The Sketch based on this page is here.

Scrapbooking Sketch and Challenge - March 2010

It’s a multi-photo scrapbook page again and I will write a little more about vertical design in another [...]

Video Tutorial - How to Easily Save Scrapbooking Inspiration from the Web

I have been asked many times from where do I get the inspiration for my scrapbooking.  My reply is “from Everywhere”, but I do gain a lot of crafting inspiration from other peoples work and I find most of that by browsing the internet!
The next question is usually something like “how do you remember the [...]

Kids Scrapbooking Classes- Paper Bag Albums for Ages 9-11

I took two different classes at Honey’s school… the Juniors… the subject of the earlier post and the seniors, here are their finished Paper Bag Albums.

I gave the children a general idea of the content of the paper bag album (instead of an envelope album for the juniors) but focused on showing them different techniques each [...]

Scrapbooking without photos - it CAN be done!

Here is a quick(ish) scrapbook page I made recently.  You can see I have no photographs on this page.  Instead I have used the piece of paper which my daughter had written on as my focal point. 

As there was no colour dictated by this focal point I worked the colour around the diecut butterflies, a [...]

Free Scrapbooking Supplies from Your Friends!

How do you get your friends to gladly GIVE you Scrapbooking Supplies?  (and they can also be used for cardmaking.) What Scrapbooking items am I talking about? 
Well you have probably guessed from the photograph… yes… ribbons.  Those annoying ribbons you (and your friends) find in the inside shoulders of blouses, jumpers, t-shirts and even on [...]
