Christmas Already???

Well it is for me, and probably lots of other scrapbookers too, as I start to prepare classes for December. The North Swindon Craft Club isn't having a December crop, so we are bringing the festivities forward and this Friday will be our xmas crop.


And in true Christmas style, I am going to teach a class on how to make this really cute Christmas Lantern Mini Album. I found the original idea here and thought it would look great in christmas colours.

I have used the really bright and festive Scenic Route papers for my lantern and photos of the kids from 2006. Once the lantern is complete you can put any embellishment you like to decorate it! I love this to bits, and will be putting it out along with my christmas decorations each year!

Well thats all for now, thanks as always for dropping by xx

Kit Reveal Day

Its reveal day at My Creative Scrapbook for the November Kits.

The Main Kit is full of Teresa Collins papers plus lots of beautiful embellishments, The Creative Kit is full of Simple Pleasures papers, die-cuts, cardstock stickers and lots of other goodies, The Album Kit (which I got to play with) has paper from Crate Paper, a die-cut sheet, stickers plus a gorgeous floral shaped chipboard album. The Limited Edition Kit includes the most beautiful Prima papers, chipboard, flowers and so much more!!

As I said I had the Album kit this month, and did 3 layouts using the contents. The new Crate Paper season collection is gorgeous, so bright and fun!!! This is what I did with the kit.

To see all the work that the DT has created go on over to the Design Team Gallery. Also this month Delaina Burns is joining us on the Design Team, so congatulations Delaina!!

Sneak Peek

Just a quick post to give you a little sneak peek of my November class at Sparkle Dreams......and it involves peel-offs...........gasp!!

Photos Galore!

On Friday we took a trip out to Moreton-On the Marsh to the Cotswold Falconry Centre. I would recommend it to anyone who had a morning/afternoon spare with nothing to do. They have a fabulous selection of birds of prey, and do flying displays during the day too. I managed to take quite a few photos, here are a selection of them.


As for scrapbooking, I've been busy creating for the Novembers Album Kit for My Creative Scrapbook, the reveal is on the 5th, but here are a some sneak peeks.

Aswell as that I took a night out to scrap for myself, and dug out a photo from summer 2005, when we went for a picnic. Not a major event to scrap I know, but I love the photo of the kids as they were so much smaller!!!

Remember to pop back on the 5th when I can reveal my projects for My Creative Scrapbook!! Thanks for stopping by xx

Half Term so far....

Well its half term again, which not only means I have my own kids at home to amuse, but we'll be having 2 morning of craft club for the children again.

But first Thursday was spent at Millets Farm with Corinna and the boys. The kids all get on so well, and there is quite an age range from 5-11 years, and Hannah being the only girl too.

And all finished off with coffee (juice for the kids) and cake...YUM!

Next wednesday and thursday I am teaching at the shop for kids craft club. I'm going to show them how to make a pumpkin "lift the flap" layout ...

and a christmas tag book too.

Lastnight was the North Swindon Craft Clubs October Crop, and I taught the ladies how to use lots of photos on a single page layout. I picked photos from when Rich went to Goodwood earlier in the year.



Well thats all for now, I will be collecting my kit from the Delivery Office first thing Monday morning so I can get busy working with the November kit for My Creative Scrapbook. Thanks for stopping by as always xx
