Travel book

Pam and Dave-52, originally uploaded by JenniF2007.

This was a real labout of love, it took ages to do and although I love the results I'm not sure I would do it again!! I've used a Bo Bunny Travel word book, paper from SR and Love Elsie and a whole heap of Love Elsie embellies and ribbons etc from my stash.
I really wanted it to show how much I love travel and seeing new places!

Busy!

I'm off work this week and have decide to paint my hall so I'm MIA covered in paint!! Been getting some fab craft deliveries though will possibly post photo!!

Mad!!

This is one of my fav layouts ever! I really had so much fun doing the photo shoot with my friend Pam, we were in absolute hysterics. Funny thing is the shoot was2 years ago and seems like yesterday!!
I set it up to do an I AM page for my book of me but this picture needs more scrapping!!
Today has been spent making cards for a couple of the boys at works birthdays. One of them was easier than the other and I haven't finished the difficult one yet!!

Reflections!

On how much I'm loving scrapping in 12x6 format just now!!
It's a fab size, especially for smaller weird sized photos which would just be out of place on a larger format. This is a pic I took on my trip to Africa last year and I love it!!
Apart from making this tonight I've been watching Strictly Come Dancing which I was really excited about being back on and cleaning the flat (what excitement!!).
I'm off work this week so am planning on hopefully doing a fair bit of scrapping!

Hairy LLama!

I thought I'd upload another of the layouts I've been working on, I finished this at the crop on Saturday. It's a picture of guanaco, which are basically wild llama taken in Patagonia when I was there nearly 4 years ago.
I've used a sarahscards kit for this which had GCD paper in it which is fab and retro looking. I've added a riff-raff corner flourish.
Retro papers seem to be quite the in thing just now and I have to say the new Basic Grey Offbeat is sort of calling to me, although I haven't bought any BG for ages some of the new ones look alright. MMM am supposed to be using up my other stash though!

Lots of layouts!

I've been creating lots of stuff lately, especially since I've been at a couple of crops. At Angela's 12 hour crop in Stonehouse on Saturday I managed to unusually enough for me, actually do quite a few layouts, a mini book and finally finish off the travel mini book I've been doing. I think this is my favourite layout of the day, the dark flower bit is actually a heidi swapp mirror but the way I've scanned it you can't tell!

A beautiful wedding day

Pam and Dave-6, originally uploaded by JenniF2007.

I mentioned that on Saturday I was at a wedding, it was a beautiful occasion. Pam looked stunning and her new husband Dave didn't scrub up too badly either! Their daughter, Isabelle, was a beautiful well behaved bridesmaid, the location at House for an Art Lover in Glasgow was stunning and even the weather was pretty reasonable!

Only one thing.... why did Pam have a dress that's difficult to match to scrap the photos!!

I'm still alive

Okay it's been a while since I updated my blog but life hasn't been all rosy of late and I haven't made much crafty stuff lately. My boss is a total horror and has now stopped me going on holiday, I am allowed a week off but not really much more, at the moment I really do hate him. I feel he is just bullying me and I'm been punished for actually doing quite well (it's all a bit of a long story and I can't be bothered going over it all again). It just makes me more determined to find out what I want to do and then get a new job!!
The card I've posted is one I made for my friend Pam who got married on Saturday. The wedding was beautiful and made me cry which is actually quite unusual for me!! I'll post some pictures of it here soon too!

I do update sometimes!!

Okay I've been a bad blogger, but in reality I haven't had much to blog about!!
Angela gave me in to trouble on the phone tonight so thought I'd better at least write something!!
I haven't done much creatively lately, been quite busy with a little of a social life!! Mind you I'm feeling it now with some kind of low grade cold virus thing going on, hopefully it's only going to last a couple of days (and it's got nothing to do with the few beers and 1.30 am night at the work BBQ on FRiday!!).
I'm in the middle of making a Travel Word book just now but given my love of decorating it with everything except the kitchen it will probably take ages to finish!! I've posted one of the layouts I did for the DT though, a fantastic picture of my gran who's great at giving me these full of character faces!!
THe DT stuff was gorgeous October Afternoon which along with Scenic Route are my 2 fav kinds of paper (actually I think part of my love of them is to do with them being double sided!). Anyway I'm off to listen to the radio, am getting very excited by the start of the olympics this week so will be listening constantly to Radio 5 Live.

Some crafty stuff!!

Decided to scan some of my layouts for Shimelle's my Freedom class. These are my, Time, Inspiration and Travel layouts and I'm quite pleased with the way they have turned out. Aspiration would make me up to date with the layout but I'm having some trouble with it!!
I've also been doing more DT stuff (4 layouts for Angela so I hope she likes them!!).
I'm really exhausted tonight as i slept quite poorly last night so I'm off for an early one tonight!!

Time goes by..... not so slowly!!

Can't believe it's been a whole week since I wrote on this blog. Last week off was fab, managed to sort and clean my house out and it's still not too bad (although needing a bit of work!!). Wish I wan't so tired this week though, I've had a real nightmare it terms of insomina yet again. The past 4 nights or so I've slept really badly, hopefully it'll improve though.
Last week I did manage to get a fair bit of crafting done, a few projects for Angela with my gorgeous DT kit she sent and then some more pages in the Africa album. The good thing about this album is that it's a total no brainer in that it doesn't take long to do each double page compared to my other layouts, the bad thing is that it seems never ending!!
I'm posting a layout for today, a real fun one which I did for Angela using chatterbox eclectique papers which are fab funky and so easy to use!! It also has ribbon from Angela's kit and AC thickers, ooh and the small matter of my maddest photo I've ever had taken!!

Tidying up!!

I've spent a large part of today cleaning up my flat, although the only rooms that are tidy are the bedroom and bathroom! The bathroom is lovely and shiny and clean and I cleared out the cupboard and I also cleared the drawers in my bedroom. WHat an exciting day!!

Today's blog prompt for my Shimelle class was if you could go back or forward in time where would you go and what would you do. TBH this is a bit of a tough one for me, don't have any particular yearning to go back in the past (not my past I mean historical past!!) and I don't think there's anything I'd like to do in my past. Maybe the future then, 100 years to see what the world is like, get all the lottery numbers for this year and become a winner!!

Time

My photo for TIME. I absolutely love this watch, I bought it in the states for my birthday a couple of years ago and have worn it pretty much constantly ever since so it really does give me time!!

Starting again!!

This is me starting out on the blogging adventure once again!! I haven't written anything for so long that I'm basically starting over again.
This week is great as I am off work all week, just felt I needed some time off as it's a long time till I go to India!! I haven't done much today apart from finish a couple of dlos (very simple)in my Africa album (Which I'm sure I'll be doing for ages!)
I also started a Shimelle class called "My Freedom" today. I'm not entirely sure what it's going to be yet but today was just about taking pictures and sorting out pictures on the subject of Travel and Time!!
