There was only one contender this month and that was when I took The Boy to brunch in a Victorian former public convenience. I used the same sketch as April but rotated it a quarter turn. I found the perfect teacup embellies in my stash; they're by Paige Evans for American Crafts. For the journaling, … Continue reading Recording 2022’s One Little Word | Redefine – April
I’m continuing with the theme begun back in 2020 – an album title page and one layout per month. We spent a fair amount of April meeting up with close friends, so when I saw the original design of this spread on the Instagram feed of Papermaze, I knew it would be prefect for recording … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2022 | This Year’s Album | April
Our trip to Jersey is looming and I've been working on the foundation pages for the journal I'll use to record the details of our visit. I'm using a bigger-than-usual travelers notebook - the measurements come in at approximately 8x5 inches. The patterned paper is from Bella Blvd's You Are My Sunshine range and the … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2022 | The Jersey Album
At the beginning of a recent cyber crop, The Best Friend suggested that we use the same design to create a page. We chose a design we had seen on Doodlebug Design's Instagram feed. Here's mine | Here's hers | I love how they look together - the same and yet different. Which do you … Continue reading The Cyber Crop Contrast and Compare
There was only one contender for March and that was the return to West End theatre. On the surface the outing looked as before, but underneath, numerous changes. I reused a favourite grid design and simply copied the text from my blog post for the journaling. That book stack embellishment was a gift from Mary-Lou. … Continue reading Recording 2022’s One Little Word | Redefine – March
Three quarters of the way through and progress has slowed. I have still worked on an unfinished project every day, but content has been minimal. Life is busy and is meant to be lived, so I don't feel as though I've failed in any way over the past 75 days. 🙂 I’m coming to the … Continue reading The 100 Day Project | Seventy Five Days In
I’m continuing with the theme begun back in 2020 – an album title page and one layout per month. I reused a design from a class I took at Crop in the Country and chose to highlight how our part of West London is currently in bloom. The embellishment pack from the Lots of Love … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2022 | This Year’s Album | March
I was introduced to scrapbooking by a friend during our stay in Australia in late 2005. Once back in London in early 2006, I was eager to embrace my new discovery. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really wasn't very good back then. I didn't know there was an online scrapbooking … Continue reading How I Told The Story | Then and Now
I’ve noted all my numbers this month, more out of habit than anything else. I seem to have run out of enthusiasm for making a Project Life style scrapbook page, so I’m simply going to record them here. Let’s see how March looked … 46 walks with Tilly16 online Step classes31 sessions on online Pilates3 pieces of … Continue reading Month in Numbers | March 2022
Half way through this year's 100 Day Project and I don't mind admitting the last 10 days or so have been a struggle. The Boy's albums are up to date, bar a title page or twoThe wedding album has stalled. I reckon that there just 3 layouts left to complete and the Circle of Life … Continue reading The 100 Day Project | Fifty Days In | The Half Way Point
