Notice board

One of the girls on the cardmaking and papercraft forum set a monthly challenge to make a notice board or clipboard so I revamped my exisitng boring chipboard pin board to make it look more attractive.

Book Of Everything

I'm taking part in the challenge on the creative world blog to use the prompts given every 2 weeks to make an art journal. I'm not entirely sure what an art journal is and am hoping that it can be whatever you want it to be!!!!

I've made the front cover of my journal and am all ready for the first prompt on Saturday.

Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2008. Decorations came down today and once I'd tidied the front room of toys it actually looked quite clear and uncluttered!!! It won't last!!

Christmas Maze Book

As we draw to the end of 2007 I wanted to get this maze book done with a few photos from Christmas Day, I purposely chose enough photos to fill the book as there are a lot I wanted to use, I have put some journalling on to tags which go in the little pockets that the folds of the book make.

One of my new year resolutions is to plan my photos better so that they don't have all the rubbish in the background!!! I'm going to try and remember anyway, I need to set up a plain photo area to take them in!!

I was sent the papers and maze book for my secret santa from one of the girls on my team on ukscrappers.

Jacobs Ladder

I felt like a change from Christmas Cards and decorations (with the minding babies) today and decided to make a Jacobs Ladder, which I saw in Scrapbook Magazine (Issue 27). I'm pleased with it and chose a few pics of the kids that I like, not on a particular theme. I should have waited for natural light tomorrow but wanted to photograph it tonight so the pictures arn't fab.

My computer is fixed

so I'm back in th land of the internet, hurray. I didn't realise how much I'd miss it till I couldn't go on it!!!

Hopefully back blogging soon.

Autumn Leaves

George and I had such a greattime playng in the leaves while waiting for Charlotte to arrive back from her school trip. We built the biggest leaf pile!!! and then jumped in it. Took me right back to being little!!
