It's raining!

It's actually started to rain at last so I have been busy indoors doing two more pages. The first one is about my love of nature. we had to make a frame for the photo for this one.

The second had to be about my love of Ian!! I tore a page out of an old book and painted it. i then ran it through the computer as instructed. I don't normally do hearts etc so this one was quite hard!!

Home

the next shimelle prompt was about home, something I had no trouble with as I absolutely love living here!! This was quite an easy page as i just resized and printed out the elements and then near enough copied shimelle's page.

read

the next shimelle prompt was about love of reading. I used this photo of Becca because as well as reading myself I enjoy reading to the children and seeing them enjoy books too.

So hot!

It's been another very hot day today, too hot to do much craft but I have managed another page for my shimelle class. It was an easy one to do, showing my love of going down to the sea and having a coffee and maybe a scone too!

I did spend quite some time this morning helping my neighbour catch her children's guinea pig. then felt a bit ashamed of the front drive so decided to sweep it all and do some pruning.

Next page

I did this page this afternoon after a nice walk by the sea. I love the transparency technique although I had to get the printing from Jenny as my printer wouldn't do it.

one of those days!!

I started off with good intentions to get housework done and get on track with shimelle's class.I was side-tracked a bit with this layout for todays SLYMI challenge to scrap a square in a square!

I cleaned the windows and made a quiche so I would have lots of time for the class and then disaster! We had to print on fabric for this prompt and I got out some aida to use. I then spent ages trying to resize the printables and even longer feeding fabric through the printer and then having to deal with it being stuck, I'm surprised it's still working!! Anyway, I sort of got there in the end and if I drank I think I would be hitting the bottle now!

scrappy afternoon!

I have had a nice afternoon trying to catch up on my shimelle class. This first page was all about the music I love and I even created my own journalling spot for it!

The next page was about ways we like to enjoy ourselves and apart from my craft i get most enjoyment from spending time with my family.

I still have a few more pages to do but at least I am getting there.

Go to press - stress free scrapbooking

I manged to get my stash out this afternoon and do the front cover for the new shimelle class I signed up for. the idea is to learn different ways of using the printer in scrapbooking. for the first class we had some printables to put on ordinary card so not too difficult!! I'm looking forward to finding the time to do more over the next four weeks.
