Hello friends
Last Saturday I held a class in the shop/studio - Introduction to Scrapbooking.
Those who attended brought along photos and made a scrapbook layout,
some were a little nervous as it was all very new to them but I'm pleased to say
they all relaxed, got into the swing of it and I think a few of them could now be hooked!
My crafting journey started with scrapbooking (I used to be worried about making cards!)
so I really enjoy sitting down to create pages. In fact I created three for this month's
Scrapbook Magazine and here is one of them using the free papers they are
giving away - Bo Bunny, Country Garden.
A layered layout with a photo of my niece Rachel and her Shetland pony - Mow.
The dies are Foliage and Blooms Three.
Now onto the important announcement of the In'spire dies winners.
Thank you for all your comments, if you could have 1000 of something, what would it be??
Wishes, cures, crafting hours were just a few of the suggestions.
Elliott deliberated for many hours (I'm not joking!) and he has decided that
these are the three In'spire dies winners...
Alex
"1000 great home for 1000 fabulous abandoned animals in rescue care"
Amanda (Baconbits)
"1000 extra hours to inspire children to craft"
Weasel
"1000 years to complete all the craft projects I am inspired to do"
Congratulations to all three of you - please send your address details to hope-chances@live.co.uk
and an In'spire die will be winging its way to you.
Now, did I mention how much Elliott deliberated....???
Well here is another three that Elliott felt deserved honourable mention...
(and a runners up prize!)
Sue B
"1000 smiles from everyday people you see walking down the road or in shops"
Lorraine C
"I am extremely lucky, I don't need 1000 of anything"
Ann
"1000 of something it would be to have a sparkly wand to put a little magic into people's lives"
Again - please email hope-chances@live.co.uk with your address details and a nice
prize will be sent out to you.
Take care friends - enjoy your Wednesday and hopefully you are crafting.

Love the page layout, I have been scrapbooking for as long as I can remember, but am almost ashamed to say that I find so little time for it now with other crafts taking over...I still have at least two holidays to scrap. It was one of my resolutions to get back into it this year, but so far not doing do good! Congrats to all the winners, lovely wishes, hugs Carole Z X

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteWell done to all Elliott's lucky winners and runners up .
Aww Christine i just love your layout ,as i am a big fan of scrapbooking ,last year i had such fun doing a book of the Grandchildren all the photo's were of them in the woods where we live ,i had a pack of Peter Rabbit little stickers and a pack of Fairies and on each page i hid 1 among the scene the children have such fun finding the hidden stickers every time they visit . As the children call it Our Magic Forest Book , last week i decided to decorate the outside cover they will be over the moon when they see it .

ReplyDeleteOoh thank you so much Elliot, and I do wish with all my heart I could find that many forever homes for all the fur babies in rescue. So pleased about your good news, look after Mum she deserves it :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs Alex xx
Ooh, Well done Elliott - such well deserved prizes. I can't extend my crafty things into scrapbook pages, I have thousands of photos, and I dread to think how many scrapbooks I'd need.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, Congratulations to all the winners well done, good choice Elliott, love Jean Z xxx
ReplyDeleteElliott, the chocolate bribe didn't work either then! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done to the winners and I like the scrapbook page, I just wish I had more time to scrap. JuliaT x
Lovely page and so many winners well done to all xx hazel
ReplyDeleteA beautiful page Christine. I'd love to 'scrap' with some of the photos accumulated over the years. There are SO many of them though and most of them are AWFUL. Finding the good ones would take so long! Perhaps I should spend an evening sorting then pluck up the nerve to try a novice class.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of winners Elliott! It was a hard question.
Lovely scrap page Christine.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to ALL '1000' inspire winners, bet that really was hard work Elliott, so many wonderful wishes and comments.
Love Carolyn
