Hello friends
Today some scrapbooking...
I was asked by Scrapbook Magazine to create two layouts for this month's magazine.
This is the first one - 5 Random Facts About Me.
Just in case you cannot read them they are:
1. I write lists upon lists.
2. Every new handbag is a thrilling purchase!
3. Terrified of frogs!
4. I detest clothes shopping.
5. Marmite on toast is my comfort food.
It took a while to come up with those because they had to be random!
The papers are Kaisercraft - Take Note collection, I've added some brown cardstock
and created the random facts using a new font (that looks old!) on my computer.
The dies are Sprigs and Blooms One.
It is a geometrical layout but the flowers and foliage soften the lines.
I like these sort of layouts because the focus always remains the photograph.
I am running a class - Introduction to Scrapbooking on
Saturday 5 April, everything is provided you just need to bring along some photos.
More details here.
I realise scrapbooking is not as popular as cardmaking and mixed media
but I'm on a one woman mission to remedy that!
What has been popular and I am so very grateful is the
February/March Charity Kit - Craft Caddy.
Those of you who have finished your kit have kindly sent photos and today
I am featuring Ann's and Emma's.
Ann chose to switch the papers around and the end result is very effective.
Matching the paper inside the lid and tray is lovely and
the metal corners add an elegant touch.
It looks wonderful - thank you Ann for sharing your photos.
Emma chose to use some of her own papers to decorate her craft caddy
so that it would match her craft room. She was happy to have the kit papers left over
to use for other for other projects ("or to stroke them!")
Painting the drawers white works beautifully.
A brilliant job - thank you Emma

Clever idea to use circle dies behind the drawer knobs and corner dies
on the lid of the box - gives it a very regal touch.
Still some Charity Kits available here and don't forget to keep hold of the lucky
number with each kit. I keep adding goodies to that prize box!
Take care friends - I'm back tomorrow.

Hi Christine a lovely layout. I always intend to scrapbook but never have the time and I am retired! Susan x
Love your scrapbook page and your 5 random facts. Great finished kits. I personally think everyone should scrapbook, i used to be a foster carer and a scrapbook or life story book is a very important piece of a child's life. Everyone should make one as you never no what is around the corner and once you are gone so are your memories unless they are immortalised in a scrapbook xx hazel

Good Morning Christine, love your scrapbook page, you are so right, the main focal point of any page really should be the picture, I hate it when you have to hunt to see it. Love the boxes from Ann & Emma, must crack on with mine. Have a great day Valerie
