Feedback Friday...

So On Monday I posted two sketches to use for motivation this week. As it was my first time scrapping in a while it took me longer than planed to sort everything out and complete the layout. So I only managed to do one, but I will be using the other as part of next weeks motivation.

I used the scrap365 sketch for my lay-out, here is the sketch:



This is my lay-out (it's been a horrible day here, so I'll swap these photos for better ones tomorrow)




It was quite a hard sketch to use, as it had so many layers but I really enjoyed the challenge.

Thanks for looking.....

Throwback Thursday - on Friday lol

Can't believe I am late with this post already lol, I thought I had set it up to auto-post on Thursday but must have done something wrong. So here it is a day late.....

This Week I have decided to throwback to my very first lay-out ever....



These photos were taken on our Honeymoon in 2005, at the airport on the way home from Boston I brought a scrapbook magazine and the obsession began.

On this lay-out I used pieces from a paper bag for the title and the witch and ticket subs from our bus trip to Salem. It's not too bad looking back and we all have to start somewhere lol.

Thanks for looking...

Motivation Monday....

So today I have two sketch challenges I want to share as my motivation Monday. I'm going to try to do both of these over the next week.

The first is the monthly challenge sketch from Sarahs Cards Ltd blog, here it is:-




The second is the monthly sketch challenge from Scrap365 magazine blog, here it is:-



Check back on Friday to see how my lay-outs turned out....

New Blogging system...

When I was ill I started to watch You Tube videos and really fell in love with some daily vloggers. My favourite two family are the SacconeJolys  an Irish family who have the most adorable little girl named Emilia and the Shaytards a Mormon family from the US.

Their dedication to sharing their daily lives with the world really inspired me and I haven't missed a video since June. So I think if they can record and upload a video 365 days I can at least try to upload a blog post 3 times a week.

So to help me with inspiration I am stealing some social media terms that people use and changing them to fit in with crafting. I am going to be uploading blog posts that with fit in with the following categories:-

Motivation Monday - Where I share a sketch or picture that motivates me to craft.

Technique Tuesday -  A guide to a new or faviourte craft technique.

Whatever Wednesday - A post about whatever interests me that week.

Throwback Thursday -  Where I share an old project and say what I would change or not about it

Feedback Friday - What I have crafted that week

Hope this sounds interesting, I will pick 3 days each week as I think it is a bit unlikely I will get anymore than that posted.

Thanks for looking and please follow me....
