For August's spread, I chose a selfie of me with The-Friend-Who-Is-Like-My-Brother just after we finished hiking Loughrigg. 🙂 I used a design I saw on the Felicity Jane blog and I think this finished page might just be my favourite page of the year so far. 🙂
My scrapping mojo has been missing in action this month - this is the only spread I've created. 😦 For July's page, I chose to record my new fondness for brunch. 🙂 The design has been adapted from one seen on the Felicity Jane blog and a perfect way to use up those quirky food … Continue reading Recording 2021’s One Little Word | Heart – July
I made a single page to showcase May. I used an old design by Shimelle to record a day spent at Hughenden with friends-who-are-like-family - it was the first time we'd seen them since Christmas 2019. For June, I chose to record our day at Cerney House and Gardens and I used a sketch I'd … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2021 | May and June
In May I chose to record Afternoon Tea. 🙂 Having used the banner with a cluster of cake embellishments, I decided that I didn't need to also add a specific title. In June I chose to record the photographic exhibition at Pitzhanger Manor:
In March I chose to record the blossom currently blooming in our part of West London. I cut the Spring title using my Big Shot - I cut each letter twice and then layered them to add definition. In April I went for my love of reading. This was a scraplift from a layout seen … Continue reading Recording 2021’s One Little Word | Heart – March and April
This time last year, I never imagined I'd be trying to marshall my thoughts into some sort of coherent post about how the last 365 days have been for me and my family. It is perhaps easiest if I divide my thoughts into two columns - positives and negatives ... Positives: Lockdowns work. They're hard … Continue reading Covid-19 | Life in Lockdown – One Year on
This year's word of heart is being recorded simply - one 12x12 scrapbook page a month. The Boy made me laugh by suggesting that he should appear every month. 🙂 In January, I chose a cute photo of our great nephews after they'd built a snowman: For February, I chose a set of photos taken … Continue reading Recording 2021’s One Little Word | Heart – January and February
Twenty twenty one marks our 11th year of One Little Word. This year's word was difficult to pin down - I had a list of six possible words for quite a while. But in the end, it was heart that constantly floated to the surface. I think it's a word that will suit 2021. Heart: … Continue reading One Little Word | Heart in 2021
I went with a circular design (I drew around a saucer) and a host of stickers to wrap up November and December's One Little Word. For November, I chose to focus on the glorious Autumn skies across our local park. For December, I chose images of London's decorated West End. One 8x8 layout per month … Continue reading One Little Word | Pause – November and December 2020
Let me begin by thanking you for reading, commenting and staying with me throughout 2020. It was quite the year. And that last sentence was quite the under statement.
