January Scrapzville Swap

Our January Scrapzville Swap was a mini to include five goals for 2011. This was fun, I used the Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime paper collection which I loved. My swap partner was Felicia and here are some photos of the mini.

Crafting on Saturday

Hi Ladies,

So much for the resolution I made to myself to become a better blogger! That didn't last long. That is one of the main reasons I don't do new year resolutions. My crafting mojo went missing for awhile but we had our monthly scrapbooking workshop at Crafty Alley today and thanks to Ebony's lovely inspirational 12 x12 layouts, I think it might be returning. Here are my two layouts that I made using the gorgeous My Minds Eye Lost and Found papers.




And this is a thank you card that I made tonight.


Thanks for visiting. Have a good weekend.
Ann.

Twelve Tags of Christmas




I followed Tim Holtz's wonderful 12 tags of Christmas but unfortunately I didn't get to finishing them until yesterday. The techniques he uses are amazing. For some of the tags I came reasonably close to the original but for others I didn't have the necessary materials and so I had to improvise. I was pleased with the finished products though what to do with them now....

White Christmas

Hi Ladies,
I would like to wish you a belated happy Christmas and hope that you all have a wonderful 2011.
This year we didn't have to dream of a white Christmas, we had the real thing. I went to Prague on 11 December and we got lots of snow, so much in fact that we were snowed in there for an extra 24 hours and guess what, the snow followed us home!
One thing that snow is wonderful for is picture taking, so I want to share some recent photographs with you from Prague and home.

Christmas Mini for Ebony

This is my mini album for the November Scrapzville Swap. My partner was Ebony. I know she loved these black and white papers so I hope she likes what I did with them. The only thing we had to do was include an envelope, so I decided to make the whole mini from envelopes. The theme of the swap was "Twas the night before Christmas".















These are all the tags included in the envelopes.

Scrapzville September Swap

After a long absence, I'm back! Thanks to Felicia getting us all back to work. She set us the task of making a mini album out of TP rolls which was a great place to start. My swap partner was Nicole and here are some photos of the completed mini.

Vintage Findings 12 x 12

Hi there,

I would like to share some photos of a 12 x 12 layout that I made using the May Kit from the Crafty Alley Shop. This was a super kit which included papers from the Making Memories Vintage Findings range. I really enjoyed working with them.
Ann xx.
