It's been a long time

I haven't posted since August so I have a lot to catch up on.

I'm going to be starting a new scrapbooking project that takes up a week. More details about it here Ali Edwards - Week in the Life.
I already have a couple of ideas for it which is cool.

I went back to college on the 15th (which is also the day I turned 22!!!) and I'm really enjoying it so photos for the project will be easy for college days because I have lots of books for the lessons to take photos of!

I've decided that to document work I'm going to photograph my uniform and scrap my bus tickets etc.

I might be going to the cinema on Wednesday to watch Righteous Kill with dad.

Tomorrow night I'm out with Ben and Claire and James might be coming too. It will be fun.

Monday night I'm going to spend scrapbooking (hopefully!) because I haven't done any for a while. Actually all I've done is my CJ entry for My Favourite Place. It's my best entry yet and I'm really proud of it.

My paperbag book kit has arrived. I also bought one for Mum and Lynda so it'll be good to work on them as well. I have photos of Harry, Reece and George that I want to put in there.

I'm going to finish here because this entry is becoming REALLY long!!!

Scrapping and Little Women

Its a Saturday morning and I'm getting in some quality scrapbooking. My family have gone on holiday so all my craft stuff is downstairs. I'm currently working on some amazing mini books as part of the UKS Summer Bash. The instructions are by Annette and her work is amazing!

I'm also watching Little Women while I scrap. I've just got to the bit where Beth has died. Makes me cry every time! I adore the books and need to find the film on DVD somewhere so that I can carry watching it whenever I want to!

I'll hopefully post some pictures of my work soon.

Pattern and Colour Class 1

Pattern and Colour Class

I hope you had a fun time taking photos throughout the week and creating your mood boards ready to start the classes.

Lets recap – throughout the week you needed to take photos of things that had patterning and colours in them. I showed you examples of mood boards I created to give you ideas. These mood boards are to help you when it comes to creating your scrapbook pages.

Each week a new prompt will be posted for you to get inspiration from to help you create a mini book a mini book created purely from pattern and colour ideas.

Now that we’ve recapped lets start on our first prompt:



INSPIRATION PROMPT: A perfume or aftershave bottle.
These bottles come in different shapes, sizes and colour. They are a fantastic source of inspiration. Using a photo you took of a pattern last week create a page using the colour and/or shape of the bottle and combine that with a pattern from the photo to create a single or double page.



Now don’t forget the photos you took last week are for inspiration. They aren’t the ones for you to scrapbook unless of course you really want to.

Don’t forget to upload your pictures and link them so that we can all have a look.

I’ll work on my page and show you within the next few days. Next prompt is next week.

Magical Memories

I'm taking part in a new class created by ScrapDolly on UKS. Its to create a travel album either Disney themed or non Disney themed.


Well I've decided to go a little mad with this one because the prompts are so amazing. The first one I'm doing is Paper Scrapped and is my dream disney holiday which I'm going to do another version digitally. Then I'm going to do one is non disney themed and just my dream holiday!

So all in all I'll end up with 3 books - 2 digital and 1 paper.

I've created my first page on the paper one and taken several photos. They aren't great because they're from my mobile but here you go. The journalling reads:


"This is me!

This Scrapbook is about my dream Disney holiday. I've been to Disneyland Paris before but only for one day. This plan is for a holiday in the Paris resort and the Florida resort!"


< < "The place to light up your dreams!"

So that's my first page. Don't forget to go to ScrapDolly's blog http://dollysdreamings.typepad.com/dollys_dreamings/ and check out the prompts for yourself. Also look at her fantastic work!
