Click!

The lovely Luke, aged 2, playing with a disposable camera - he took a real horror of me (hidden behind the main section)
Actually my journalling mat is squiffy in this pic, will have to DST it - it's a recycled Prima packagin card so feeling very green :)
As with the last, the page was made with contents of the Sarahs Cards Ltd monthly kit and Embellishment Add-On.

He Ain't Heavy...

A (not so very late for a change!) scrapping session at Rachel's; scraplifted from the DT booklet as part of Sarah's Cards September kit (JillyBean Soup- Old World Cabbage range).
Please note: no inked edges!!! Rachel was shocked!!!
Thanks for looking!

Another Handbag...!

This time one I've knitted myself; it is from a fair isle pattern off the web, from a magazine called 'Simply Knitting' - they are apparently giving free handles for it in their mag, but I had some I'd bought from my LCS a little while ago. I knew they'd come in useful someday!


Next project? Continuing with my own design top down cotton cardi, and off to buy a pattern for the most lovely felted slippers at French Press Knits...
Anyone else wielding needles or hooks?

Good Deed For Today...

My neighbour just popped across to tell me that she is giving up smoking - Go J!
She was thinking of things to keep her hands busy and - remembering I'm a crafty sort (!) - came to ask to borrow some knitting and crochet patterns.
Well... I sent her home with patterns, magazines, wool, a selection of needles and crochet hooks, stitch markers... She was happy, and DH is thrilled there's a little more room in the house LOL
We all win!

Ain't I Sweet...?!

Results of a late night session at Ally's... oo-er missis!

This is a 'never' layout; I NEVER:

- scrap a photo of me

- use pink

- use glitter

But this one (courtesy of a Sarah's Cards kit from last summer) gave me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone :D

Speaking of confidence - how much must I have had to wear THAT fetching little towelling number?!?! This photograph was taken when I was four, and we lived in South Africa. My father managed a fire-fighting team in the diamond mines, quite a departure from being an electrician, but then there was no work in the UK so... needs must!

Thanks for looking!

A "Whittle" Bit Of Scrapping...

(I know, I crack myself up!)
Only two layouts today, truth be told I'm having a bad day with my fibro/ME :(
The first is for my entry to the Sarah's Cards sketch challenge, and the second from a pagemap:






Thanks for looking!

Another Layout...

I know, unprecedented scrapping, must be because I have tidied up and can find my stash!

A Hill With A View...

Here is my final reincarnation of "Mam Tor" (yes, another one I can't stop fidgeting with...!)


It was inspired by a sketch challenge competition on the Sarah's Cards blog, which was printed out at the last Whittle Scrappers crop; Please cross your fingers for me as the prize voucher will come in very handy- I'm off on my first summer holiday since 1995 (15 years!!!) and have no holiday stash to scrap my pics with when I get back. Seriously I haven't- there's never been any call for it before now!!!
Anyway, good luck to you too if you're entering; drop me a link if you do so I can keep my eye in the competition!

More Scrapping...

Rachel's sketch challenge led me to this on Wednesday:


Well, mostly Wednesday, some Thursday...!
I still need to add the journalling, initially I thought in the White space, but might now pop a pocket behind the embellishments instead...
I scrapped this photo before, in a very basic page, and still keep fiddling with it- Will I ever find a reincarnation I am happy with? Who else has had trouble redoing LOs and rescrapping pictures? I need to know I'm not alone in my indecisiveness!
