digi scrapping with embedded video

When I read an article entitled "find your digital style" in a recent edition of SCRAPBOOK INSPIRATIONS MAGAZINE I must confess that I inwardly groaned and thought "I just don't have one!" I find it really hard to make a digi layout from scratch (like Shimelle Laine can) and no amount of kits (like these) seemed to help me. And to be honest I just love getting in a mess with scissors and glue so I didn't mind being no good in the digi world.

However, in Jane Dean's column of the same article, she mentioned the possibility of embedding video clips into digi layouts and I'm always up for a challenge so I thought I'd give it a go! I could only find one little bit of video my husband accidently took of me being a big kid in the snow earlier this year, so it's not that professional looking but the effect is still quite good. 

I scanned in a paper layout and added my video clip over the top of one of the pages existing photographs. I suppose it could have been truly digi if I had made the whole layout on the computer, which I did try, but as usual got rather frustrated! I hope you like the finished product :o)

**Laura Ashley Stash**

My in-laws recently got married at a gorgeous location in Dorset. So lots of photo and scrapping opportunities! The first is of our stunning hotel room which included my first experience of a 4 poster bed!! Lush! The second page includes a photo of the happy couple during the ceremony and the last page is a family photo taken in the grounds of the venue. I've used lots of lovely new thickers and some very elegant laura ashley stash, the patterned papers go perfectly with the style of the event. The pages also include a selection of lovely antique buttons, courtesy of the groom! thanks xx

*Lonely Scrapping*

My husband is away for the first time since we got married :(

But that means I get to do loads of scrapping without feeling guilty for ignoring him :(

Here's what I've been up to...

This layout is awaiting my new thickers!

This the most simple I've made in a long time but I quite like it.

Me  and the girlies during half term...lovely owl stickers from paperchase!

I find "boy" layouts really tricky usually but I like this one of my brother, circular button/brad border took forever though!

A quickie birthday layout...lots of loveliness on a page! xxx

Snow :: Scrapped!

I've finally done some snow day scrapping...yay! It's true I really do love snow! I wasn't actually feeling that well on our first snow day but couldn't resist a quick trip out in the snow! We wandered down to our local park and were net with many grumpy commuters coming back up the road telling us there were no tubes! 

My husband made a fab snowman while complained about how cold my fingers were...

This page I scraplifted from Shimelle's "a night in numbers" in the October issue of Scrapbook Inspirations...I really liked the layout when I'd seen it a few months ago and thought this would be a great way of recording some of the facts from the week.
I found this cheap but cute little kids snowflake punch for 99p in tesco...even if I only use it for these pages I feel like I've got my money's worth!

~SNOW~

Oooh the weather outside is frightful...it turns out London cannot function in the snow. No post today which is sad on my birthday! But what a beautiful sight to wake up to! I can't wait to scrap the photos from today.
