So-so success

I tried the Stick With It and Flock today. It's a page using photos taken in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, in June this year. The effect is a little 'bitty' and, next time, I'll make sure to press the stuff down harder and for longer!

New Stuff!

It was my birthday yesterday (I'll never say) and, apart from munching though about a pound of chocolates, I didn't do a lot. Nick and Nicola bought me a very nice little assortment of scrappy stuff to drool over!

3-D Clear Gloss Finish
A sheet of gorgeous Doodlebug Whimsy Wafers (Flower Girl flavour)
Element Stickers from Basic Grey's new Euphoria collection
And letters to match

Also (and what I am most excited about!) are the sheet of Doodlebug Stick with It letters and the (swimming pool blue) crushed velvet flock to use on them! Can't wait to play with that!

A wedding!

We went to (niece) Tracey and Rob's wedding a couple weeks ago. We stayed in Cardiff the night before and went out for a meal with Nick and Nicola. Paul's burger arrived with no meat - thus this page!!


I've made a small album for Tracey, but the only photo I've scrapped for myself, so far, is this one. She looked so stunning.

Some holiday pages

There's no way I can catch up completely and paste all my pages onto here! But I can post some of the more recent, including these I've done of our trip across the USA in June of this year (it's hard to remember what sunshine is like!) I cannot remember what paper etc I used on each page though. It's either new stuff, old stuff, stuff I got from ScrapYourTrip or stuff I bought in the (amazing!) scrapbook store in Palm Desert. So, here goes, in no particular order.


It was just wonderful, floating around in the pool at our Palm Springs house rental. Wish I were there now! The lovely background paper is from Kay & Co.


Terminal 5 was nowhere near as bad as we'd feared and they didn't lose our bags!


This photo was taken at Gouldings Lodge Museum, Monument Valley. I bought the boots from ScrapYourTrip!


Oh, Wilson Arch, Utah - just outside of Arches National Park. Glorious! I'm pretty sure that the background red dotty scalloped paper was from Fancy Pants, but can't swear to it.


Top Of The Rock, Rockefeller Center, NYC. This was one of those tourist snaps that you are obliged to sit for, before they'll let you into the lifts! Certainly I used up a whole heap of scraps on this page!


Yes, we went to the ball game in San Diego - an interesting experience! I bought the baseball stickers from the scrappy shop in Palm Desert - I didn't really want to use them, but felt obliged to.


What a fabulously relaxing morning this was!


Beautiful hibiscus(es) at Old Town, San Diego. The acetate frame is from Hambly.


This was up the top of Sears Tower - wow, indeed! I bought 3 tickets online and I still have one of them, because Paul refused to go up; he also refused to go up the TOTR!


Great fun!


The photos are lousy, because it was so dark. I bought the background paper as part of a National Parks Scrapbook Kit (somewhere).


San Diego Zoo. I decided to use several small photos on this layout - but I've printed them a little too small. Never mind, it's about as good a view as you get of the animals at that zoo (not the best).


Fun at Wall Street Drug Store, South Dakota, astride a giant (mythical!) jackalope! The gorgeous 'once upon a time' paper is from DCWV.


This was on our way up to LA Airport, on our way home. A stunning place.

That's all I've done for now - but I've got THOUSANDS of photos left to scrap!

Long time no write ..

I just haven't had the time! However, I will probably post a few more pictures of my scrappy creations onto here now, as the Docrafts Gallery appears to be totally defunkt (at least, I can't figure out how to use it now!)

I found a new plaything today. www.scrapblog.com and made a tinsy scrappy of Tracey's wedding!
