Yep, you read that right, I've just made a Halloween mini-album in March. It's an idea I've had in my head for ages and I even bought the supplies last year with the intention of making this last October. Now, nearly six months later it's made and I really love it. The main collection used is After Dark by Crate... Read more →

Last year I made a sweet little 1 to 10 birthday album for my youngest son who had just turned 10 and shared my project in my August creative team blog post for Hey Little Magpie. I had intentions of making my 12 year old son one as well, in order to keep things fair. However, time passed and it... Read more →

As you may have seen I was featured on the 12pm Sunday challenge over at Shimelle.com 'An Adventurous Colour Story'. I made a travel layout and explained why I'd chosen to use certain colours, Shimelle then shared a layout of her own which had incorporated those colours and set the challenge to scrap a layout using the five main colours...

A little while a go I was tagged on social media by a fellow Hey Little Magpie creative team member to share a favourite scrapbooking project or layout from 2015, one a day for a week.

It will be the first time I've taken the boys away on my own, on a plane. Keeping fingers crossed that the boys will be well... Read more →

As the boys begin half-term holidays, this is what's happening right now... Watching - I have lots of TV programmes recorded on Sky + to watch, so this coming week I will be catching up on Castle, The Good Wife, TrueBlood, Glee and Relocation, Relocation. Listening - to the boys, why do they have to be sooo loud? Actually right... Read more →

Oh my goodness, how can it possibly be February already?! January has been a busy month of creativity, baby snuggling and helping at school. Before I can fully adjust myself to thinking about February, I'm going to step back in time a little and share some photos from the end of December and January. The photo above is from Boxing...

I finished my December Daily 2010 last weekend - hooray! It's definitely a project that is a labour of love. Every year it is a bit of a struggle to complete it, especially as I never actually stay on top of it during the month of December. Maybe this year (December Daily 2011) I will, here's hoping anyway, because although... Read more →
