Journal your Christmas 2008

Yip, it is that time of the year, Christmas !!! This year will be our second Christmas in the United Kingdom. Last year we had just arrived from South Africa, and Christmas was a little different because we were not in our own home, we were not in familiar surroundings and we were all coming to terms with the move and catching our breath.

Now that we are all settled, I want to record my Christmas memories, past and present and Shimelle's class Journal your Christmas, is going to prompt me to do just that, otherwise, life takes over and we don't think about what is important and why...

My preparation, for my album is done, all I need is a wee bit more embellishments and book rings.
Come and join in the fun, I am sure it is going to be fantastic...

Kim's Scrappy Challenge

My scrap buddy Kim, from South Africa hosts blog challenges, blog challenges = RAK, and loads of inspiration too... Kim is a fab scrapper, and photographer go and have a look.
Here is my take on this weeks scrappy challenge. All we had to do was layer , use a butterfly and not have a straight title. Okay, I didn't layer too much but had an unbalanced title and a butterfly. Butterfly is thanks to Dan, and the template is available here.

Daisy Diner Scrap-Off - Week 1

Thought I would give this a shot. Here is my week 1 entry to the Cocoa Daisy Scrap Off....
The winner after the 4 Weeks scrap-off will be a guest designer for Cocoa Daisy, and will get a free kit !!! Go give it a bash, you still have some time !!

At last .. something to share...

I have done absolutely nothing creative for 2 weeks. So much for doing loads on Sunday at our crop, that didn't happen because I woke up feeling really crappy, and crabby so I stayed at home feeling sorry for myself.

Today I managed this quick LO, this was inspired by Donna Downey, thanks to Donna's inspiration I have found a new way of using eyelets ! I just love her style !!

I also love the way she distresses the sides of her pages, I achieved my look by using a the Making Memories blade in the distress kit that I have had for ages. I was also happy to have used my tag maker that has been sitting idle since I bought it 2 years ago.
