I found this quite difficult...

Not doing the actual layouts, but using myself as the topic. I selected two self portrait photographs I took earlier in the year and have just been trying to pluck up the courage to use them. I decided to use two of the papers I had purchased from Websters Papers. I think that the papers are really beautiful... in actual fact that is the name of the range I have used. Anyway here are my layouts I hope you like them.

At last

I've managed to photograph some of my completed layouts as I really want to start sorting out my albums and tidy up the conservatory/craft/computer room ready for Christmas, as I have plans to transform it into a ... well you will just have to wait and see.

The layouts that I'm showing here were started at my fortnightly classes at Scrapbook Sisters and use various ideas demonstrated. I hope you like them, any comments will be welcomed.

It's surprising

Where the time goes. I can't believe how long it's been since I last updated my blog. I thought that now I'm not working, I would have more time on my hands to craft. How wrong can you be? The days go by so quickly, and yes I still get up between 7:00 & 7:30 everyday (including weekends).

I found out on Tuesday that I wasn't able to teach at the Children's university (which was scheduled yesterday), due to the fact I was misinformed regarding re employment with the same employer whom I was made redundant from, plus my CRB is no longer valid as it ceases when you leave the employer who issued it to you and it is not transferable, also if you hold one for working with adults and then work with children it still needs to be redone.

Anyway I have been making small gift boxes using a folding technique I discovered on the internet by Jane (Poppytree) Here are some of the ones I have made hope you like them.
