Have fun making your own wintery layouts...

Oh Dear Christmas is coming....

I am sitting here writing this with packing boxes all over the place I hate moving we last moved 9yrs ago and all I can remember is the mess and being bone tired all the time.  This time is a little different as we are down sizing as well as Mum had a stroke last January, and we've been offered a bungalow which has happen within the last 2 weeks.

I have never had everything just full into place like this even Social Service are on the ball and are helping all they can.  We move in on the 15th December 10 days before Christmas I am trying to be organized I have most of the gifts brought already, and I found some Christmas Cards I made last year that didn't sell so at least the people who mean the most to me will still get a handmade card I thought I was going to have to give in and buy them all this year something I haven't done for years.

Oh dear I put the gifts I brought into a box to keep them safe and now I can't find them I will just have to keep looking and hope they appear soon lol...

Just two left for now to be moved to the downstairs...

Here's a page I've made using Key Lime Digi Designs - French Quarter and WordArt - Sweetness by Meta Wulandari. I did a lot of work on the photo in Photo Lab as I wanted to soften the photo and make is warmer http://www.mscraps.com/shop/French-Quarter/ http://www.mscraps.com/shop/Sweetness-Wordart/

I'm now a CT on the Key Lime Digi Design Team...

Oh Wow I've just found out that I am going to be a CT on a new and up coming designers team Key Lime Digi Design.  Sandy has worked hard to get a shop going on MScraps and wants to also get a team together to help get more kits ready for the shop and to get some sample pages for the kits made up to.

About time lol...

Sorry for not being online for a long time been a bad month for my Mum as most of you will know already Mum had a stroke in Jan this year, and I am her full time carer so life is a complete change for us both this year. So I've not had a chance to do much scraping, all I've really been doing is sorting out the kits I already have.  As those of you who own CAP 2 will know we have to import kits into our software and convert them into a kit that CAP can see.  I had hoped to have got to go out for Halloween and bonfire night, but it was rained off here, and we had no chance to take photos.  We are also in the process of moving as Mum needs to be in a more suitable home, it just a case of waiting for a Bungalow to come up that we can have then we can move.

Although we have sorted out a hell of a lot its amazing just how much junk we all have lol.  I am also in the process of sorting out all my crafty stash as I am more than ever a digital artist now and I don't need half of the stuff I have.  Anyone interested in over 1000 stamps yes it could be even more than this I have been collecting stamps for over 10 yrs but for the last few years I've not used them at all most are new never been used as you all know what its like you see a set get it then think I will play with that later and before you know it its months if not years later....

I was asked the other day how come I don't have many cards on show in my gallery and to be honest I don't know why I haven't got around to it either.  So today I've added a selection of the cards I made over the passed 15 years or so.

Well it's time for lunch so I wish you all well...

Every photo tells a story...

Daisy Trail is running a competition for their Birthday week, they have a layout competition where you are asked to create a scrap page based on the theme “What crafting means to me…”

Here's my entry for the DT Birthday Bonanza! For me scrapbooking all starts off with the photo then you choose a kit and away you go telling the viewer who and when and what/why that photo was taken.

Serif Digikits Kits used are: Sahlin Studio - So Grateful, Blessed, Enjoy the Moment, Everyday, Rejuvenate, So This Is Love and Season of Giving xxx

Week 4 Page 2 - Happiness

My second page Created with DSS March 2013 Mega: You Make Me Happy. 

I loved working with this kit so much, to get two totally different looks is amazing, and these aren't even colours I would normally used. I got to really work on the backgrounds on this layout. I wanted that stamped page look to the paper I've never been a messy crafter as I don't like getting ink or paint on my hands or on my work space. This kit let me play with embellishments that already looked like a stamped image so I got that hand stamped look without all the mess...

Link to: March 2013 Mega Kit

I loved working with this kit, this weeks colours aren't colours I would normally used, but I loved the challenge I got to really work on the backgrounds this week there are lots I've added to each background. I wanted that stamped page look to the paper as there are a lot of embellishments that already had that stamped look.

This time I have also had ago at changing an embellishment to glass something I've not done before (the heart on this page) I love the effect its given.
