Wonderland and summer at last!

It's so good to wake up to some sunshine it just makes everything seem so much better! 

I have enjoyed making this layout I used the gorgeous Marion Smith papers Mad Tea Part if you haven't seen them they are perfect for any Alice in Wonderland pages or projects. Mmmm I can feel a project coming on, it will have to wait until the long summer holidays.

I used Roses R Red & Rabbit Hole for the papers, the Wonder title was some old Prima and Land just some old stickers. The swirl was some old chipboard I just added Stickles then fussy cut some more roses! I was inspired to do this one as we recently went to another afternoon tea, only this time it was cocktails and cakes, if up you live near enough it was worth it. It was at the OXO Tower and hosted by Harvey Nics.

Tiana and Prima Vines

Hi everyone, another Disney layout.

This was one of those pictures I wasn't sure what to do with. I folded the paper to give it a fabric folded feel. I Stickled  some cheap chipboard lettering for the big word and for Tiana I used Glossy Accents to get the shine on the black.

This was an old Prima vine it's been in my stash forever! I just added some buttons. 

This worked out ok with some fussy cutting and feathers, anyway thanks for visiting, until next time x

Animal Kingdom Lodge

Hi everyone this was a quick layout I made last weekend, loved using my Copics to colour the flowers. Paper from my stash, very old and other bits and pieces. Thanks for dropping by x

ScrapAroundtheWorld challenge and WDW

Hi everyone, well it's a bank holiday weekend over here in the UK so that means dreary weather! 

I decided to put the heating back on and make myself a pot of tea and get crafty.

This is the latest challenge over at http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk

I loved all the pink and it was perfect for my latest Minnie layout, used paper from Webster's pages, it was the Beautiful CHIC range, Animal Print and Aged to Perfection. Other bits and pieces from my stash. Lots of fussy cutting and I just hand cut the arrow strips. The pink swirls reminded me of the diamontes on the pink shoes gorgeous! Well I'm off to work on another layout as its National Scrap Booking weekend over at disneyscrappers. 

Mad Hatters Tea Party & Scrap Around The World Challenge!

Hi everyone, it's a glorious sunny day here, spring has sprung at last! Well I've been off for 2 weeks and one of my highlights was afternoon tea here with friends.

This is the latest challenge over at http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk

I used an old picture I wasn't sure what to do with! The background paper is Ken Oliver/Brass Keys and most of the other stuff is old stash from my cupboard I'm trying not to buy until I've used up a load of old stash!

Alice in Wonderland

Hi everyone, it's a cold, windy day here today! So nice to post this pic of the Magic Kingdom at WDW in 2012, looking forward to returning this summer.

I fussy cut lots of roses for this one and folded the lovely papers from Marion Smith. The butterflies are cut from some old DCWV paper I had, but not totally sure. Pictures are not the best but I wanted to scrap them, I used a brick mask to add some green glitter in the background not sure if it works! 

Well hope you like it, I'm off work for 2 weeks now so should get lots of lovely scrapping done, take carex

AK WDW

This is my layout for the safari ride at the AK/WDW

I used the Tim Holtz die to cut the flowers and a leaf die for the foliage. Bits and pieces from my stash, thanks for stopping by x

Dinosaur WDW AK

Hi another week has passed before you know it summer will be here! This was a quick layout this week, used some very old G45 I think it was the Tropical Travelogue collection.

I cut the titles from pics I had taken have done a lot of that recently it's quite a cheap way to embellish. Cut the leaves from a die and the DIG chipboard I used flitter glue and flakes to decorate. Some old stickers from my stash. Hope you like it until next time happy scrapping x

Graphic 45 and Indigo Blue

Hi hope you are all good, it's a lovely sunny day here in London!

This is another WDW layout from our last trip in 2012 at the Animal Kingdom park.

Used  Graphic 45s new Artisan collection it's gorgeous and perfect for the AK at WDW. Fussy cut from several pages, the background paper is some old K&Co. I used chipboard bunting and covered it in Indigo Blues flitter fglue and I think the flakes are "Royal Peacock" not too sure had it a long time, the little tags from the Range and just added some raffia and beads. 

Well thanks for looking until next time, happy crafting x

A Bugs Life

Hello everyone it's a cold, damp and miserable day here in London, roll on spring! This was taken in WDWs Animal Kingdom.

I love this pic taken in 2007. I used some old Prima for the main paper and fussy cut some G45 for the leaves and ferns etc. used my Cricut to cut the title and glazed the title and some of the leaves.

The Flik was from my stash very old and lots of glue to put it together. Hope you like it thanks for stopping by. X

Scrap Room

Hi tried to post these over at Disneyscrappers, gave up and thought I would try here my internet is playing up!

This is my new room, we decorated it last October, most of the units are from Ikea.

This is my view from the door, it's tiny right! I tried to make the most of storage and get as much in but still keep it tidy.

This was the desk I choose all my Copics fit in perfectly and I can hide the wires for laptop, sewing machine and Cricut but it's all ready to go.

The shelving is nice as I can hide things but also have some display areas which I've never had before.

The finishing touches, I made the pelmet and I was going for an Alice in Wonderland Theme, think I need a few more quirky pieces, thanks for checking out my blog x

Typhoon Lagoon & G45

Hi thanks for stopping by! Well another busy week, we spent Saturday in the gorgeous Canterbury love visiting this place! I was in scrap heaven yesterday, I'm enjoying my new scrap room and love spending a lazy Sunday afternoon in there. I lit my Pink Sands Yankee candle, a pot of tea and endless tunes on YouTube what more could a girl ask for.

This layout is WDW 2012 at Typhoon Lagoon, I used some Graphic 45 papers, background paper is from the Botanical Tea Collection, ripped paper is from the By the Sea Collection and the sand effect paper is a very old Karen Foster paper. I used the stamps from Tropical Travelogue range and just lightly inked using Tim Holtz peeled paint. A few bits and bobs and it was finished. Well until next time Happy Crafting x

Alice in Wonderland

Well I can't believe how long it's been since I posted here! This is for the Disneyscrappers challenge if you love all things Disney you need to pop over there! 

Some pics from WDW 2012, I used some Marion Smith papers which are actually Alice in Wonderland themed. I stamped the Mad Hatter and used Copics to colour, the wooden watch I embellished and the little quotes are stamps too. Hope you enjoy looking I will try and post more frequently, have a great weekend x

The Gorgeous Brighton Pavilion and Snow White

Another busy week here! Yesterday we visited the stunning Brighton pavilion, see below if you haven't been this was an inspirational place to walk around!

A quick layout featuring Snow White, used stamps and my Copics to colour the flowers, have a great week x

Scrap Around The World

This challenge caught my eye this month, loved the inspiring image and reminded me of how much I want to learn to use my sewing machine! My granny used to have one just like the one I photographed from a quaint shop last summer. check out the challenge over at http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.gr

Here's my take on the challenge, love trying out the folded paper from my friend Marilyn over at treasuringmemories, the above mood board was her inspiration so I had to play along! I used old stash and created the dressform from old Stampinton & Co papers that I have been hoarding, the big button behind the sew nice label on the rosette I made with my melting pot! 

London days out. And some scrapping!

Hi had a great time in London yesterday, visited Harrods and some shopping

We usually go a few times a year but since our last visit they have opened a Disney themed restaurant and the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutque based on the one in WDW Downtown Disney!

We then headed over to Covent Garden for some food and cocktails!

Now for some scrapping,

This was taken at AK in 2012, again using up old stash and using bits and pieces cut from the pics to enhance the layout, I thought it turned out ok!

WDW Layout

 

Hi, I've been enjoying the first ten days off from school, we don't return until early September! We have all been chilling out enjoying the great UK weather at the moment. Wednesday we spent the day in London, the Natural History Museum, the Rainforest Cafe then on to Selfridges in Oxford St for some retail therapy! I felt like scrapping this weekend and finished this one this afternoon. All old supplies from my stash!

This was taken in

2012 at WDW

G45 and WDW

Created this one over last two days and pleased with the results! Used Graphic 45's Botanical range for all the papers. I joined the sketch challenge over at Scrap 365 http://scrap365.blogspot.sg/2014/05/hip-hip-hooray.html

Tried to copy my friend Marilyn's technique over at TreasuringMemories blogsspot where she folds paper to look like fabric, I need more practise. Lots of fussy cutting on the flowers and butterflies and I used gesso on the wooden lettering and then coloured with Copics and glazed, thanks for looking x

The Great Movie Ride

Hi another dull, miserable day here! Just a quick layout using some old papers, not brilliant pics but love this ride at WDW/Holywood Studios it's not the most visually stunning ride but always brings a tear to my eyes at the very end, if you have ridden it you know what I mean! 

Typhoon Lagoon

Loving this one probably because it is hot and sunny here today. Used some G45 stamps fir the wording and embossed. Papers and embellishments from the gorgeous Tilda/The Seaside Life collection. Well I'm off to enjoy the sun take care x
