Not forgotten!

Hello everyone. I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog in quite a while. I have been having problems uploading photos and haven't been able to sort the problem out as yet. Will get my son on it on Saturday. I had tons of Christmassy things to post but it just didn't happen. Still, onwards and upwards :-) Its a new year and I love that! There is something wonderful about new beginnings. Use them to motivate you into making the changes that you want in your life, I am! It's the crop on Saturday. It will be good to see everyone. I need to get on with a demo- eeekkk! I have embryonic ideas but that's about it. How about setting some creative goals? I plan to work more on the life history albums that have been in progress for ages. What are your goals?

Another tag idea!

Saw this in pinterest, LOVE it! It's from http://www.2gypsygirls.com/search?updated-max=2011-11-04T08:00:00-07:00&max-results=7 where you can buy the kit, or maybe you can make your own from all the scraps you have?

Christmas tags

I've got that Christmassy feeling! Been playing with some different techniques, one of which I found on Tammy Tutterow's blog.

You will find a full tutorial there on how to use distress crackle paint to make the snowflakes look frosty. Seriously great idea :D The photos above are my takes on festive tag ideas. Click on any picture to enlarge. Get those inks out and get messy!

Have a visit, and call in to see me and say hello. I only live round the corner xx

Craft channel

I'm loving the new craft channel www.mycraftchannel.com You can watch crafts shows on the internet with scrapbooking celebs like Teressa Collins etc. It's new and there are a few glitches, so be patient, but I thinks it's going to be really good :-)
