So many train pictures

My husband has always loved steam trains and I have loads of photos of him with or near trains and I am trying to do an album for him, so here is my second layout for the class last Saturday and no surprise, it shows two pictures of trains.

There was lots of stamping this time

And I know in class some of you questioned the red bow but I included it to tie in with the red on the train.

Love that calendar as well

I’m out for the day tomorrow so I will share the cards from the card class later this week. xxx

The last Scrapbook Class of 2014

Thank ladies for a lovely morning on Saturday. The mince pies and chocolates went down a treat and there was certainly lots of laughter.
Here is the first of the two layouts made on the day

And some of the detail

I just love using texture paste especially when I can make it from scratch myself. This time I coloured it using a chalk paint.

Layout two tomorrow. Night night xxxx

Tomorrows Scrapping Your Family Class

A bit late as usual but for tomorrow photos I have used two photos of Terry standing on a railway station. Each is cut down from a 4” x 6” photo.

The second layout has a portrait picture of me outdoors measuring 4” x 6”

No Christmas layouts for the last class of 2014 however I will be doing the normal FREE step by step Christmas layout on the Blog nearer Christmas.

See you tomorrow. xx

More Christmas Cheer

And the two layouts from the 4th December

And I love the details on this one





Layout Two
I found that a lot of the Christmas papers out there this year were very busy. My inclination was to get out the white cardstock but I resisted. After all, its good to challenge yourself sometimes.

This one looked really straight forward but was time consuming



Still some more inspiration to come before the big day so keep checking back. xx

Winter Leaves

My final layout for Novembers Scrapbook Class and one of my entries for the December Hobby Art Challenge.

Very simple but time consuming because the leaves are all stamped and then either coloured in with Distress Inks or cut out from coloured paper.

I added small touches of glossy accents and some distressing around the edges of the leaves to add interest. xx

The Joy of Christmas

I love simple in fact, the easier the better and this lovely paper made completing this layout so easy.

Just a little glitter and it was finished

and a title of course.

I’m off to take some photos tomorrow and to drink hot chocolate and eat warm mince pies. Have a great weekend xxx

Tonight's Scrapbook Class

Hi Ladies

For tonight's Scrapbook Class I have used the following photos

All are 5” x 7” and yes I have used two of the same photo. All will become clear later promise.

Some of you have asked for list of people coming tonight. If you go to the class list on the Ladies That Craft site you will find the names there.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight xx

Love those reindeer

I have managed to get hold of some beautiful papers this year for the Scrapbook Classes. They include a lovely reindeer paper which I have been itching to use.
Reindeer are especially good for men pages and as I am currently making an album of my dad it was the right choice.

I could have used it as the background but I decided it would look much better as the embellishments for the page.

I cut some extra out and decoupage them onto the page. A bit of glitter and voila.

And love this holly punch from Woodware too.

And then of course, I decided to take that idea and make a card with it for Christmas

Makes a nice man card I think

Don’t forget to watch out for the FREE step by step Christmas layout on here soon.
I will post more tomorrow. xx
