Halloween Scrapbook Page

Since it was Halloween yesterday there are alot of Halloween pictures which will need to be scrapped.

My parents are currently looking after a baby girl who absolutely adorable she is like a little porcelain doll. I am in the middle of making her a scrapbook so when she gets adopted she can take it with her to her new family.

I have made a LO for the photo of her in her little pumpkin outfit but we got a few more good photos so I will have to put a few more photomats down and re-arrange slightly but that wont be too hard.

I used the template which i got from "A Year in cards - September 2009 Halloween Cards by Kristina Werner my favourite designer from two peas in a bucket. http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/cg_display.asp?cmd=display&seed_id=30424
I simply changed the PDF size when i printed and made the paper size A5 (148 x 210mm) and followed the instructions on how to assemble together and used as embellishments for my scrapbook page.
Items used:
Autumn Forst: Pumpkin Parade 12x 12, The Halloween Collection:Esmerelda 12x12, Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant (Stampin' Up Card Stock), 3d Black Felt Letters, Plain White and Black Cardstock.
Thanks for looking and hope you all had a great Halloween :-)

CraftRoom

Hi All :-)

Haven't blogged in ages! I never really know what to write...

I have been discussing with my future hubby if I can re decorate my craft room and he said 'Yes' Yippe!!! It is a total dumping ground at the minute so I will have some before and after shots when its all done. I think I am going to go for a Black and White them and keep it clean and tidy this time. I have some ideas floating about my head on how I want it to look so I will be visiting Ikea alot. I love these draws so I think I will get 2 sets of these.

If anyone has any good space saving tips I'd love to hear them as my craft room is only a little utility room. I will defo be having shelves and I like these boxes from Ikea too. I'm also looking for a storage solution for my card and paper anyone got any ideas?

I am off to Florida in a few months I cant wait!! Michaels and Joann's look out I am coming with an empty suitcase hehe! I think I must be sad going on holiday and buyin craft stuff but never mind I work hard I can do what I like.

Anyway ...

Beer Mat Altered Scrapbook

Hi All

This is my first video...Sorry havent mastered the art of videoing and showing off work yet so its a bit jumpie! And the tapping in the back ground is the dog walking about the wood floor , hehe sounds like he's tap dancing.
I used 6 beer mats. Painted them with tester posts from hardware store then decorated with printed papers.
Linked together with metal rings and embelsihed with chipboard and ribbon. Havent decided which photos will go in this album yet so kept it quite simple.

Hope you like it I was working on it all day.

Scottish Wedding Invitation

My friend I made the engagement envelope card for wanted me to make Scottish wedding themed invitations for her wedding.

We this was my first attempt. There are that many Tartans out there, I think this is the correct one for the groom's surname.

I have been looking for some Scottish little buttons/charms or anything I could dress them up with but nothing has really caught my eye.

The bagpipes are cut into the card with the tartan and black shown form behind.

I was thinking of doing one with a thistle on as well and have the tartan where the purple flower should be, what do you think?

New Home Card

Decoupage forever friends card for a friend at work.

If you would like a copy of the decoupage sheet please email me.

Engagement Card

I made this card for a friend at work who has just got herself engaged.

Gave her it today and she loved it, she has asked if I can make her wedding invites similar with a Tartan theme.

First time I have made a card like this, I was very pleased with the outcome.
