Day 1 is Sunday, 31 January, because the 1st February is a Monday and it’s hard to start a project on a … Continue reading The 100 Day Project | 2021

Two more spreads have been added to my Ascension Island album. Both feature photos from walks/hikes I did with friends and colleagues. Ascension had, and probably still does, twenty or more organised Letterbox walks - at the end of each walk there was a 'letterbox' (usually an old ammunition box) which held a stamp and … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #12

I may have got a little carried away with the embellishing (scraplifted from here), but I love how it looks next to the photos. English … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #11

Travel: Comfortless Cove, Ascension Island The negative: All our travel plans for this year have been postponed or cancelled.

I completed a double page spread for The Boy Child's album. This will sit in his album behind the homeschooling spread. The design inspiration came from one seen on page 70 of the current edition (Summer 2020) of Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine: I've also begun to scrap some of my old photos from when … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #9
