"Memorabilia" June 2015 YTLH©

Hey all

If you go over to You tube you can follow along with the YouTube Layout Hop.

Here is the page I have made:

Theme for this month is "Memorabilia". I pinched some sand and tiny shells from the beach when I was in the Bahamas on my cruise and wanted to use on a layout but didn't want going everywhere so I just have put it in little zip pouch on my layout. I've got hordes of memorabilia in my memory box and have always tried to use on layouts as I scrap the pictures but don't always remember.

Hope you guys like each and every video and please leave a comment on every video to be eligible to WIN a prize from our Sponsors.

Sam's Scrapbook Process : Hoover Dam

Hope everyone is doing well.

Continuing with my niece's album updates I am still scrapping holidays from 2012!

On this layout I used digital papers from Design House Digital called Let'sGo same papers I used on my Vegas layout a few days ago.

Another quick layout as I am trying to get them done and her album is getting very chunky so I am trying to keep all the pages as flat as possible.

I used Sticky Alpha's in Classic Black by Colorbök 
A Metal Sightseeing Charm and a Flare Badge.

I scuffed the edges of everything and inked in black. 

Thanks so much to taking the time to view and comment its much appreciated

Sam's Scrapbook Process : Disney

I finally decided to use up my few sheets of Disney paper I have been hoarding for quite a few years.

I have been to Disney over 15 times and still to this day never scrapped a single photo of me there!! And this will continue as I am not in these photo's lol!!

Inspiration for this layout came from pinterest but i think photo is originally from twopeasinabucket.

Papers are all Disney papers
Stickers are Disney from EK Success.
Pebbles polka dot yellow washi tape.

Letters are actually cut from a football (Soccer) magazine where a child had colored in the letters in for a competition poster.

Thanks so much to taking the time to view and comment its much appreciated

Sam's Scrapbook Process : Las Vegas

A little bit of afternoon crafting for me today before visiting nan in hospital.

I used digital papers from Design House Digital called Let'sGo but this doesn't look like it is available anymore on the site as I cant find it.

I also used mini map pages out of the back of my old planner and 8x8 black cardstock.

Jolee's and MAMBI -  Vegas/Travel themed stickers.

Thickers - Daiquiri & Shoe Box

I put a red gem next to Las Vegas on the map too which sort of looked like the red pin's you put in a wall map showing where you have been. We used to do this but Adam took it down when he redecorated his computer room. I think I might put it up in my craft room because I saved it and was going to cut it into a few 12x12 map papers but I dont know if I want to as it shows all the places me and Adam have been together.

Thanks so much to taking the time to view and comment its much appreciated

I'm Back

Glad to be back as I am stick of flying

We couldn't get a direct flight anywhere so from Vegas we had to go to Chicago before Florida and then change at Washington DC before Boston then London before I got back to Sunderland. I think I was on more flights than some of the air hostesses

Here are some of my Boston photos and 2pt video of my craft goodies

This is the hotel we stayed at.

Lobster Roll I've wanted to try one for ages and I lived on them the 2 days we were there I liked them so much lol

Memorial Carving I didn't have chance to read what it was for as tour bus turned up. I assume it was a Civil War one.The detail was amazing on the carving.

The Boston Common Frog Pond - Ice Rink.

Luckily it wasn't snowing when we were there but there was a huge pile which had been cleared in the park.

We went on a bus tour while in Boston was easiest way to get everything in as we only really had 1 full day.

Adam and my little Brother David with there sun tan faces with white eyes from sunglasses from day at Daytona Car Race in Florida! Someone in the airport thought they had been skiing with the tan and the winter clothes hehe.

It was Freezing in Boston - worse than the UK and that's saying something.

Nice shot of the harbour from the tour bus. I love how the window framed it and David looking out.

Home and unpacking. This suitcase is only craft items and we had an issue with over weight suitcases in the airport... ok yes it was my fault :-)

Part 1

Part 2

Hope everyone is good.
Now I am home I am starting the Dukan Diet (Meat diet) and busy planning my next holiday already lol we said no more America for a while as my last 15 holidays have been there but I don't think I can do it I love Florida soo much its my home from home.

Love to all xx

Still on Holiday

Hi All
I'm still on holiday. I cant believe I forgot my video cam!!

Las Vegas - Done! Wasn't my cup of tea! Don't think I will go back there and was definitely not child friendly, baring in mind we had my 3 year old and 3 month old nieces with me and Laura had her 1 year old with her.

We are on our last day of Florida and me and mam are having a child free day catching some last sun around the pool. We are off to Boston in the morning and the weather is looking cold and snowy there :-(

Here are a few photos of our hols so far:

 Me and Lacey in the airport

 Our bedroom in the Penthouse of the Mirage

                                                      Me and Adam @ the Hoover Dam

                                                            The Dolphins in the Mirage

  The Lions in the Mirage zoo

 The Belagio Fountains

 Lacey's First Birthday

 Amelia around the pool in her new sunglasses.

 Keeping Amelia amused one night making easter masks

Me reading my scrapbook mags around the pool catching the last of the sun today.

Scrapbook 8x8 Thanks to my friend Meri on Youtube

Happy Valentines Day!
I didn't make any baked goodies this year as I am on the Dukan Diet and I am only allowed Protein and Veg.

Just wanted to share a 8x8 scrapbook page which I would not of been able to complete if it was not for my friend Meri (Gumma56 on Youtube) as I had no princess related embellishments and she sent me some.

She is super kind it was sooo nice of her to send me some of her supplies I will send her a RAK when I get back from my holidays.

We leave for Las Vegas on Sunday then on 23rd we head off to Florida and then on 4th March we end our Holidays in Boston and then home on the 7th. I cant wait to get some new craft supplies.

It is also my parents 31st Wedding Anniversary today so I made them a card.

Hope everyone is well.

I will be uploading another scrapbook video before I go away as I've a few layouts to share. I will be uploading some videos while I am on holiday too.

Take Care

I'm Back!

I'm back from my hols and all my craft stuff got home safe and sound :-)

I will be making some scrapbook pages and Christmas cards as soon as I have finished unpacking and tidying up the house as my 18 year old brother has been house sitting and the house is a tip.

I cant wait to start crafting again but we are also going to re model our bathroom and the kitchen, stairwell/passage and bedrooms need painting so its going to be tricky to find time. I have also asked Adam if for Christmas I can have the utility back for my craft room. He has sold his motor bike and  it is empty but the bath has been leaking into the utility and the ceiling will need to be pulled down so that's going to be a big job so I will keep you posted on that!! I cant wait :-)

Hope everyone is well :-)
