SBM sketch and The Thrifty Thistle....

Things are a little slow on the scrapbooking front at the moment, however I do have a layout to share which appeared in a recent issue of The Scrapbook Magazine.

 It was the sketch challenge...and you know how I love a good sketch!

So, using the supplies in my stash and a super cute photo of my eldest daughter now 18, I created this page :)



I find that I'm generally drawn to blue paper collections and this was a favourite of mine from October Afternoon.

Even if my scrapbooking is on the back burner , I'm still putting my scrapbook supplies to very good use by making lots of bits and bobs for my rented craft shelf at "The Thrifty Thistle" shop in Felixstowe.
 It's a great little shop championing Suffolk crafters of all kinds, as well as being a showroom for handpainted renovated furniture.
Well worth a visit if you're passing :)

New Challenge for the New year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Who's ready for the 1st Scrapology challenge of 2015?

This month's scraplift /sketch inspiration is from a super layout by Laura Vegas ...you can see it HERE on the Scrapology blog.


This is my 8.5 x 11 layout.. using my kit from the Papermaze December crop in Otley.




and here's the sketch..


As you can see the added challenge is to use " Lots of letters" on the layout.( not too difficult for any scrapbooker!!)
