Hi, made my first page for my book of me, finally, been meaning to start this project for ages but didn,t know where to start, going to do the pages then put them in order as have so many photos to go through yet that would never get any scrapping done.
This little beaut of a picture is my brother and I think I,m about 6 or 7 not to sure as mum never labelled any pics. Anyway hope this is the first of many.

I have just signed up for the Magnolia Tilda stamp club, yipee, cant wait for them to arrive, but have no idea when they will as no dates were given and the site is mainly in Swedish (I think it was Swedish) so could be anytime.

Finished my week 4 challenge for the UK Scrappers challenge, been doing lots of scrapping today, really caught the bug again. I loved doing this L/O its a picture of my late Grandparents on my Grandads 80th birthday, we nicknamed him the king, cant really remember why but it stuck. His cake was a huge chocolate crown it really was fabulous. It was quite emotional scrapping this picture but all the memories are happy ones, they really were a big part of my childhood and I miss them deerly.

Hi cant believe its been a week since I last posted.

The main reason is I have joined a team on UK Scrappers, its a fantastic site and I have become a regular on there. Our new team is called the Dithering Divas, and I have been made Team Leader, quite a scary prospect but up to now really enjoying chatting and getting to know my other yteam members, although I can see it becoming expensive as they have already directed me to some new stamps which I might have to purchase.

We have taken part in our first weekly challenge and here is my attempt.

Hoping to do the Magnolia Tilda Challenge tomorrow so will show you my results soon.

Made this card today, for my dh friends wedding, really getting back into stamping again at the moment and enjoyed making the card although I,ve not gone to the wedding been left babysitting for our and a friends children, didn,t mind really it ment I could update on here again, and I won,t be dying with a hangover tomorrow.

I have managed to find a local scrapbooking crop which I,m really looking forward to attending, but the next one is September the 6th so have a while to wait. Just have to fill my time card making until then.

I know its only August, but this year I have made a vow to send only hand made christmas cards so I really must get started soon.

Going to do some stamping now might dig out my christmas ones from last year.

Back soon.

Hi all, been a few days now but joined UK Scrappers and became addicted quickly,made some new crafting friends and been adopted by a lovely lady who is showing me the ropes.

I have finally got round to making my first Magnolia Tilda card, it,s for my mother in laws birthday. I used my new watercolour pencils and really enjoyed making the card.

I think I need a lot more practice with the watercolours .

Anyway, been hard to find time to craft with the kids off school (still). Seems like months ago they broke up and still got about a month left before they go back.

We spent a lovely but very wet day at the beach in Hornsea, had a few funny looks of people when we were all playing on the sand in the pouring rain, but we were soaking wet anyway so might as well enjoy the beach while we were there.
I took Holl to see Space Chimps on Monday, it was fantastic, I enjoyed it as much as her, and was lovely to spend some quality time just me and her.

ORIENTAL ALBUM

Enjoyed another shopping trip with my daughter and purchased the oriental themed papermania box set which is fantastic you get so much in it, needless to say a crafting marathon followed, we decided on a paper bag album, which is another of my current favourite things to make at the moment. really pleased with the results and it was lovely to spend some quality time with my daughter just the two of us for a change. Heres some pics of the finished album.

MAGNOLIA TILDA STAMPED IMAGES

Hi
Just received a batch of Magnolia Tilda stamped images and cant wait to get started with them>
I also bought today some watercolour pencils which is something I have wanted to try for ages and not got round to.
So any tips on using them would be much appreciated.
It would also be great to see any creations you have made using theses stamps, I really need to work more to find more money to buy more of theses gorgeous stamps.
I will put some pictures on as soon as I have made them.
Bye for now
