Wall Hanging

In this months class we did a wall hanging, based on one I did last year at a ATDML retreat.  I used Sizzix dies and Nestabilities together with Artsylicious flocked cardstock and Doodlebug crushed velvet cardstock. The "Love" title was made from Thickers chipboard alphabets and I covered them in glossy accents. The hearts have been stamped with tiny detail stamps and then punched out with my Stampin'Up tiny heart punch and coated with glosy accents.  Lastly, I added some Prima flowers and made the hanging out of black velvet ribbbon.

Who would have belived we would have snow in NOVEMBER!!!!

Keep warm and dry

Mini Book

 I dont do many mini books but I really enjoyed making this one, the photos are of our holiday this year to Wales and the great thing is you can get so many small photos in a mini book and get it done far quicker than if you were doing 12x12 layouts. The papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle and were last years autumn collection which I had left over from a class. The Title has been cut using one of Tim Holtz's alpabets Vintage Market and the stamp is from Waltzing Mouse. I used one of Tim's edger Sizzix dies for the border. The rest of the album is made up from a chipboard cover and envelopes for the pages. Inside each envelope I put another insert to hold some more photos.

 

Not getting alot of time for scrapping at the momet as Christmas cards have takn over but I counting the days until I go away for my retreat, hopefully I will get loads done then. 

Back to Basics

Not alot of time for scrapping at the moment as I have been preparing card classes but I did manage to finish off a few kits that I am using to finish an album for my husbands nephew that visited us this year from Portugal earlier this year.

This kit from Totalpapercrafts uses the Basic Grey Basics range. Works well with these photos which were proving hard to match upto some patterened papers.  I used some American Craft Thickers for the title. Everything else is from the BG Basics range including the stickers.

I have put details of my next all day crop up for anyone that is interested.  If you want a seat reserved just pop me an email so I know numbers.

Friends

Todays layout is one I did at a recent Totalpapercrafts all day crop.  The papers and stickers are from the Bo Bunny Sophie collection. The photos were taken a couple of weeks ago when Kerry surprised us with a visit from Australia, we had a great day catching up after not seeing each other for a couple of years. If you were a customer when we all worked at Pulling on the Glitz in Rayleigh and Southend you might remember her.

Day trip

I am working on an album for my hubbys nephew and girlfriend who came to visit us earlier this year.  They spent one day in Cambridge so I used some old Scenic Route papers I had left over from a kit to make this page.  Very simple layout  but I felt there was enough going on with the papers without me adding lots of photos. The alphabet stickers came with the kit.

Dear santa

After seeing a friends kit for this layout from Crafty Stash , I knew I had to have it!  Websters Pages are so beautiful, you really don't want to cut into them.  Its only a small photo on the page but its works really well and this layout had alot of intricate cutting out, but I persevered and am really pleased with the result. The range is called Home for the holidays. 

Bo Bunny Flutter

I have a pile building of layouts I have not had a chance to post, so here is one of them.  The papers are Bo Bunny Flutter, the title is a Autumn Leaves stamp which I stamped on a Sizzix die set that I picked up in the discontinued box at Stevenage show! I used the word window punch for the little journaling tabs at the bottom of the page.
