Shimelle-lift

There is the most beautiful LO created by Shimelle in the latest edition of the Scrapbook Inspirations Ideas Book. It's probably the prettiest page I've ever seen so I was very keen to try and do something similar myself!



You can just see Shimelle's version there in the very bottom right hand corner. It has a big beautiful photo, a lush colour scheme and some gorgeous ribbon. My Sis-in-law recently got married and my hubby was the photographer so I used my most favourite photo from the wedding shoot and scrapped until I had something pretty to show for it!



Hope you have a lovely day :)

Some lovely things and some lovely paper!

First of all the lovely things...
This is a photo of me and my best friends from the teenage years...my friendship with these ladies totally impacted who I am today and I love them both lots...we hadn't all been together for 18 months but they came to visit me in Londres and we had a lovely day catching up, reminiscing, laughing, eating and enjoying the sunshine. The title reads 10 things I love about you two! And I made it using my last few bits of butterfly foil paper from American Crafts.



This page says 'I think you would do anything for me' and has 3 little photos of Adam painting my toe nails when I came out of hospital. (FYI, he did a good job!) He's done a lot for me recently, he's amazing.



One of the most recent lovely things he's done is pack up a picnic, my favourite yellow gingham rug, some bunting, some flowers and taken me to Golders Hill Park for the evening. Massively cheered me up!



Now on to the lovely paper...
The new delovely range is bright, cheerful and girly...a good combination if you ask me! I did this page about the delights of facebook and skype and how it helps me keep in contact with my sisters.



And this page is about the fun in the sun we had last time we were at my parent's house...



I made all these pages today...what have you been up to?!

i had a haircut!

Drama, drama, drama

2 weeks ago I went off to hospital and ended up having emergency surgery to save my ovary...I'm now resting for 3-4 weeks, which is incredibly boring but means I've done lots of scrapping.

Do you wanna see?!

Here it is...well some of it...

Portland through the lense of a retro camera

I've done lots of scrapbooking today but this is the page I'm most pleased with. Thought I'd jump on the bunting band wagon and make some fabric bunting to go on top. This LO also features my first retro camera print! I love it, it's so cool, the effect is lovely! This photo is of the top of the beach road as you get on to Portland in Dorset, I love it there and was so excited to be back there for the week. I really do love the coast line, been back in London for two days and I'm already pining for it.

Anyway, thanks for looking x

hipstamatic... without an iphone!

I don't have an iphone but I do have an android phone...my husband understands it better than me and I was complaining that it doesn't have cool apps like hipstamatic! So he took the phone off me and found me this retro camera app...which is sooo fab! I love it! This is what it can do...

PINHOLE: (fyi this is such a classic pose from my inlaws!)

*Two at a Time*

I've become a two at a time kind of scrapper. Recently I seem to be making just 2 LOs at a time and then packing everything away again. I'm seriously strapped for time at the mo, life is BUSY and I don't even have kids yet! My husband and I live in a studio, so we don't even have a bedroom let alone a craft room! I scrap out of a bulging underbed storage box and have to get it all out and pack it all away again every time I make anything...so it doesn't all seem worth it for one page but 2 pages seems to satisfy my creative juices! So without further a do, here are my latest 2 LOs...

Neither of them are my best work but both record my memories or 2 occasions so I'm happy, this one is of a little trip to Winchester last Bank Holiday with the in-laws, love the buttons and the fabric!


And this one features Adam's TV debut when he was on hospital heroes taking a patient into the Royal London!


Thank you for stopping by, hope you're having a good week! H :)
