A spoonfull of Sugar Nellies


I was delighted to see my blog chosen on the Banner promotion  of the Sugar Nellies. Karen has worked hard for years to build up the business and her success is down to hard work and determination.  Well done.  As more fantastic illustrators move into the house of Nellie things are only going to get better!.

My sugar treat was the lovely new stamp Sporty one of the manga range. you can find him here I couldn't wait to use him and coloured him in with pro-markers and used Crate Papers in the background.  This card is going for my brother in law.

Recently the Little Cotton Rabbits featured on the Sugar Nellie blog here  I had just finished making this card for a colleagues new baby boy and thought you might like to see it.

Stamperia Oriental Garden Album 10 x 12

 I love making mini books and albums at the moment.  This was an online class with Cal Summers from The Scrap Lab..  This design was originally called the Office Hours Book. its a long time since I made one so big, at 10 x 12 it only has three pages attached to the spine, but loads of layers and places for photos.  I haven't decided what photos to use for this one yet.  Walkthrough video here

Scrapbooking events and memorabilia

Can you remember back when we were allowed to go to concerts and events?  I remember when I was a teenager, I saved all my concert ticket stubs up. I had them from Status Quo and David Bowie and was quite proud of all the concerts I had been to.  Of course I wanted to keep these little tickets and I didn't know about scrapbooking then.  In my bedroom, I had an old Lloyd loom bedside cabinet in a muted pink.

Only to find my stepmother had got rid of the Lloyd loom cabinet complete with my concert tickets. When my son started going to concerts, he came back from seeing Feeder and meeting Dave Grolsh with a signed copy of his ticket stup, a signed flyer and a signed guitar plectrum. He was made up.

Sons scrapbook album finally completed

I stated this 9x9 scrapbook album. For my sons 21st birthday. It was supposed to show his first 21 years. So I dutifully added in the baby photos and journalled stories for him to read. But then work and life got in the way.  Then comes Covid-19 lockdown and a chance to clean out the cupboards in the bedrooms. Finding loads of photos and scrapbook items I was hooked on scrapbooking again. As he is now grown up with children of his own, I thought it best to finish the album and fill all the empty page slots. This double layout above recalled the time he was an extra in the Billy Elliot movie. His part was only briefly shown at the beginning outside the boxing gym.  just another layout of days spent with grandad growing up to 16. Hidden journalling tels the takes behind the tabs. it was harder photos the older he got. Must have been out more on the lash! and then he finds the love of his life... Then star
