My creative mojo has been missing of late; I didn't create a traditional 12x12 page for almost a month. Earlier this week, I went back to basics. I returned to one of my favourite online classes for photos of our great nephews - Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class. Sometimes, simplicity is key. I made a … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #8
The Boy Child and I sat down and looked through his current scrapbook (I think it's Volume 6) and I was shocked to see that I hadn't added anything since our road trip to Normandy last October. I asked him what he wanted me to add and his first suggestion was ... Christmas. I turned … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #7
My new favourite scrapbook page celebrates my favourite photo from the Luxembourg wedding. I chose a black and white image, as it gave me more scope to play with patterned paper. I made a title page for the front of our second album for 2019. I went back to Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class for … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #10
I went back to Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class for inspiration on how to record the Lakeland Wedding in this year's album. I love how it's turned out and I think it might actually be my favourite layout of the year so far. By constructing a folded cardstock panel, I was able to add a … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #9
I'm pleased to have rediscovered the urge to create a few more 12x12 pages (although that's not to say I haven't enjoyed working with pocket pages recently). I added one double spread to this year's album about Guernsey - there was no need to add more, as the trip is recorded in its own album. … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #8

First up was a classic back-to-school layout.I followed that up with a page capturing an early morning shot-from-the-bus stop.I went back to a design by Shimelle from 2011 to make an … Continue reading Scrapping in 2018 #12
When The Boy Child returned to school, it came with the knowledge that he was beginning his final year of primary education. Who remembers this day? Ahead of us lies countless meetings with countless professionals, each with their own opinion and agenda, over the decision of where The Boy Child goes in September 2018. But … Continue reading Time Flies
In the hour between getting home from Sports Day (more like Sports Most of the School Day in reality)and leaving again to collect The Boy Child,I downloaded my photos and immediately printed off a number of favourites. I went back to Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love for the design idea and set straight to work. Two lengths of washi tape, … Continue reading In the Moment Scrapbooking

More pages about Florida and one about the Shard. Hollywood Studios; we liked this park best and visited twice. Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure. Something of a damp squib, to be honest. The Boy Child's first ride on the water. The many faces of The Boy Child. Using Shimelle's idea from her 4x6 Photo … Continue reading Scrapbook Saturday
