Running Layout!

I've taken up running and after 3 weeks also got some of my scrapbooking mojo back so here is my running layout featuring my new shoes and a kit I got from QVC about 5 years ago.

Scrapping Time :)

On Friday afternoon while chatting on Facebook with my friend Kat I discovered there was to be another UKScrappers Cybercrop this weekend. Its been ages since I've done any scrapbooking, my craft desk looked like a bomb site and I was still unpacking from my holidays so of course I headed right over and signed up. :)

I didn't try every class or challenge but have picked up several ideas for future layouts when I get round to printing out my holiday pics.

In the meantime one of the layouts I completed was all Stampin' Up! and I last got to grips with covering chipboard with patterned paper.

So this is me on our first Formal Night of the Cruise last year using Patterned paper from Love Stories Simply Scrappin' kit and Tea & Crumpets DP, Chocolate Chip and Not Quite Navy card stock, Chipboard Flower and leaves from On Board Batch of Blooms.

If you're interested in ordering any of these supplies or want to more about scrapbooking or Stampin' Up! please feel free to email me at jantyscrafts@btinternet.com

Christmas Cards

It's Christmas Card time again and this year I'm actually organised.

I have a pile of cards left from an Anna Griffin Kit last year to give to friends at church.

I found a small box of cards I bought in Woolies closing down sale last year in amongst my decorations to give the girls at work.

I found a some ideas through Splitcoaststampers that used half a SU scrapping kit to make a great selection of cards so I've used the Christmas Jingle kit with the Tree Trimming Stamp set from Stampin' Up! to make some family cards.

I've used the Winter Post stamp set and a new technique I found on youtube to make a spinner card for a fellow card maker.

I've still to make a reindeer mobile/card for my brother and sister-in-law. cos its fun :)

And for my Mum & Peter and Dad & Katy I'll be trying a Tri-Shutter card. Will let you know how it goes.

If your still wanting to order anything before Christmas or if you want ideas of what to buy for a crafting friend or family member just get in touch and I'll be happy to help.

So, how's your card making going this year?

Started my cruise scrapbook!!!!

Ok I know I came back from holiday two months ago but its taken me this long to get started :)

I saw a challenge on UKScrappers and decided to get off my behind and do it! So here is my first layout for my Cruise Scrapbook.

This is me on the Helipad just out side my window on the Celebrity Summit.

I used the Petal Party kit from Stampin' Up! and extra sticker from a set I got onboard and the announcement from the ships daily paper that hasn't scanned very well. I also used a journal block from the Christmas Jingle set that I had left over from making cards and just put punches over the snowflakes. (I'll show you the cards later :D )

Helipad Sailaway, 5;00pm, Helipad, Deck 5 Fwd, Port.
Join the ships Officers and get the best view of the Dalmation Coast as we sail away from beautiful Dubrovnick. Bring your cameras. Steps involved, weather permitting.

The weather was 27 and sunny incase you wondered :)
