Christmas Wreath

I thought I would share my Christmas wreath with you. I made it in 2008.

Teacher's Gift

This year 10 families banded together to buy a gift voucher for our children's wonderful Teacher. I was going to make her an off the page album so I offered for that to be the delivery package for the voucher. I used a Kaisercraft ABC wooden album.  Here is the result.

I've used a mix of Nikki Sivill's Henry's Brillance range of papers, Creative Memories paper, Scrapbooking Memories magazine free paper, some ribbons and Green Thickers.

My role is to be a card designer. Fancy that! I start in January and am really looking forward to it.

Tiffany is a wonderful person and I love that she is very diligent and regular with her challenges. Her Design Team are always consistently putting up wonderful work. It's worth checking out.

Wish me luck.

Cost of scrapping

Who's other half complains to them about who much our wonderful hobby costs? Mine doesn't normally. I really only have the one hobby and to my mind I am creating these wonderful scrapbooks for the whole family. He can't say the same about his hobby of playing electric guitar (which was ridiculously expensive btw). Hubby did make a comment this morning about the cost of my scrapbooking.
Admittedly for many years my hobby was free as I taught scrapping and earned all of my goods for free with some change left over for a holiday account. Now I haven't done that since March 2008.
I guess I felt a little surprised that he feels like I spend an awful lot on my supplies. I know that I could stop purchasing new product now and still be able to scrap for a few years on just my stash (apart from adhesive).
Anyone like to share their view?

December - From Screen 2 Scrap challenge

Hi guys,
December is upon us. I have been trimming my tree and decorating my front hall. Feeling a bit jolly.

The movie poster this month at From Screen 2 Scrap is of Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas. (Anyone else feeling a bit ill prepared for the big day?) Here is the poster.


A bit scary looking right? Here is what I came up with.



Go over and check it out. If you decide to enter, pls use my name as a reference as there is a little comp for us Designers. Love to see what you do.

First Day

I love the first day of the month. All the new challenges and sometimes the winners of last month's challenges are announced. Lots to browse through.

Also, it is the first day of summer. Last month felt like summer here. Today is actually a nice day, a bit cooler.

Going to trim the tree later on. Then it will really feel like Christmas is imminent.
