BIA Project

A BIA book that I made for a UKS SWAP... Really enjoyed this one as the challenge was to use 3 or more hinges. I hope my Swappee likes it !!!

Printers Tray

It feels good to finish a project that you have been intending to do for ages.
I attended this class at Paper Crazy last year, did the original for dad and then bought another kit for myself. I finally had the guts to un pack it last week when I was on leave and finish it. It took 2 days to complete which really got to me in the end because I was tired of the mess on my dinning room table.
I am really happy with the way it turned out :)

Scrapbooking Style

I unpacked my albums on Friday night ( this task has taken me 6 months to achieve lol ) because I had to find place for them... Let alone the other 50 boxes in the garage that still need doing !!!! I also decided to sort out all the photo's, got halfway and still have two piles to put in the normal albums.. I don't want my photo's in boxes anymore !!!!!
Whilest looking through the albums I realised that alot of my LO are just pretty pages and do not tell a story, this is something I am going to change.. Maybe dedicate a whole album just about the story of our lives and then have the pretty page albums to use up the stash.

Trivia .....

I have climatised to the UK weather !!!! You must be asking why is she saying that, well today we had the most beautiful day, the temp was 24 degrees and I was hot!!! Come on I am used to much hotter weather than this back in South Africa, so I reckon, my blood has got thicker and have climatised to the cold !!!
You don't get anything for free here, you even have to pay 20 pence for air for your tyres!!!
Nothing much on the creative side besides thinking about the weekly UKS challenge and what I am going to do :). Oh and then there is the Bind it All SWAP that I need to think about !!!

This is what I did today..

I managed 2 LO !!!! both were challenges, one for UKS weekly challenge where I scrapped a heritage photo modern style. The Silly Photo LO was for Scrapagogo April stetch challenge. I tried here to create a shabby fun LO. Not sure whether I am exstatic about it though. We have decided to go out tomorrow, do some sight seeing. We planning to go to Oxford!! Dad goes back in September which is not too far away with the way time is flying at the moment so I would like to get out and see as much as we can. Before he goes back to SA I plan to do a an album for him to take back with him!!!

Be prepared to be inspired....

Do you spend time on other creative blogs, I do... It has something to do with finding my mojo!!! My challenge this month is to scrap differently to what I normally do.. I want my LO's to be more free style, collagy and arty. My BF Val says I have a style which I can't recognise but she can. When I showed her Willow's LO that inspired me she said, well that is you, your style just more free style and shabby.. So I guess I am going to try and attempt. It is going to be a little tough because freestyle is hard for me.

Inspiring

This LO inspired me today. LO is done by Willow her blog is here if you want to get loads more inspiration. I love the free style and the various mediums she uses. This is what I would call art.
