May Weekend


You would think that in National Scrapbooking day I would use the excuse to create new scrapbook layouts. But as every in my own contrary fashion. I went back to card making! I have as few to make one for a wedding and a couple of Birthday cards. I was just trying to get back in to the hang of them as I knew I had a pile of wedding invitations to complete.
I love this little dressed up Sugar Nellie stamp, which was painted with mica paints and then added a handbag brad and stickles. The background is Making memories paper. I might have to play with my Sugar Nellies again, I have a few more birthdays on the horizon and need to practice my advanced colouring in :)
The other card is a wedding card which I like clean simple lines. Used my cuttlebug embossing for this one and some bazill bling.
I am still working on my Charity Digi kit which is one of the biggest I have ever done. This will be available free to those who have sponsored by Race for Life. It will also be available for sale in my store with all funds going to the Cancer Research Charity.

    Patience and time. I wish I had both. You are very talented at doing this. I have to create something as a free gift for a dear friend on Facebook and you have given me a really good idea.

Traditional bookbinding techniques

 I love learning new skills. I have been making scrapbook and albums for a while with the floating spine paper technique, but wanted to research the traditional bookbinding skills. I used a quality dot grid paper cut and folded into 10 signatures each with 8 pages (in my math thats an 80 page notebook!) The signatures were handswn together with waxed cotton thread using strips of Tim Holtz fabric as strengthener on the binding.  The end pages had fabric wrapped around the edges and then added to the signature block.   Tiny bits of header piping was added to finish off the ends.  The spine was given a generous coat of bookbinding glue and muslin wrapped over. Only then did I layer on the faux leather glued to both back and front and finished with corners. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MyYJCVpt5Ek" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-pi...

A long awaited makeover...

They say all things happen for a reason. However, we dont think of that when someting goes wrong, we only look on the downside. Two weeks ago I couldn't upload my new kit to my online digital scrapbooking store. I tried several FTP packages but gave up. Then It wouldn't let me log in to adminster the store. " The computer said no !" I left for a few days until I received and email from a customer ( I dont get many, customers that is not emails) who stated hat she had ordered items but did not receive the download link. Oh dear, there really was somethng wrong with the site and I didn't know how to fix it. What I did know was how to create a new site, the previous one was three years old and I must admit it had lots of unnecessary files in the back that I was unsure whether I could delete or remove. I also wanted to update the design but was unwilling to mess up a live working site. You know the old saying, "if it's not broke dont fix it", well not i...

I knew it was one of those days...

When I woke up with my left eye swollen shut. When I prised it open it was very red and sore. I felt like Quasimodo. That sort of things happens occasionally when O get run down or have been very busy. Just in time for a bank holiday weekend then! Not only is it a long weekend and I was looking forward to going out for a bear or two tonight but we are off to visit baby Daisy in the morning. Then I went down stairs and made a cuppa. Allan got up and went to refill the kettle and a bit of plastic fell off. When we looked the inside of the lid had corroded and the plastic was turning to powder. A new kettle was desperately needed, we had had that one for about nine years so we cant complain. But I felt sick when I realised I had just had a cuppa tea from that which meant drinking corroded plastic! As I have just started Cheryl Johnson's Painting with Light the sequel online photography course I took my camera to work. As soon as I got there I was asked to take a photo of ...
