BY2010 - February

February's Sketch was provided by Ks Crafty Corner:

Ks Crafty Corner



I made a double layout and turned one page on it's side:


The first page is a photo of our first dance (It seems to be the only photo we have of our first dance, hence why it's not the best). I've printed out the lyrics of our first dance song (If you're not the one).

The second page is photos from the last song of the night. My dad jumped in to dance with me half way through and we had a very emotional chat.

Next in the list is Liberty Cottage:

12 x 12 Storage solutions

I was looking for a way to store my 12x12 papers as cheaply as possible. After drooling over the £50 - £500 units I came across, I found an image on a thread of someone using cubes! I have loads of these cos we used to use them for the rabbits. My hubby washed them up for me and built this using cable ties :) I may spray it at some point (red probably to match the rest of the room), but I was itching to get my new papers in it. It fits perfectly on top of my ikea bookshelf too.


And this was just a quick test using some 'very' fine sand paper I got today from Wilkinsons. I think it's come up brilliant. It's Core'dinations paper with an embossed image which I've then sanded over to bring the under side colour through.

52 in 10 Prompts 4 and 5

Prompt 4

Finally here's my page for prompt 4 which was based on 'music'. See Dolly's page for more details.

I used a Pencillines sketch for this.

Prompt 5

This one was based on family. I chose to scrapbook about my hubby and rabbits. See here for Dolly's prompt 5.

BY2010 - Blog Candy!

I'm a member of Liberty Cottage's BY2010 project. This month it is K's turn to provide a sketch and she is also giving away Blog Candy :D

BY2010 - January

It worked :) I scheduled this page yesterday to go live at 1 minute past midnight and it seems to have worked. Sadly I couldn't get my images to fit the page, so instead I made my template wider! You'd never know I program websites for a living :s My argument is I am a programmer not a designer. Even so I'm sure I could come up with something cooler for my blog design...

So these are my entries so far for BY2010 - apologies for not following the spec at all, but it's great to have some motivation by joining a group and to get inspiration too.

Album

I decided upon a new scrapbook album, this one is from K&Co.

Page 1 - The Venue

This was my first ever scrapbook page :) I'm thinking now, even after a month of scrapbooking that maybe I tried to get too much on this page. Perhaps I should have done a double spread and thought of something else for the first page.

Page 2/3 - Bride getting ready

I had so many photos I wanted to use on this page that I did loads of mini ones with Snapfish's collage feature. I think this is my favourite scrapbook page I've done yet, I'm really happy with it. The note was left for me in my hotel room by my hubby (to be) and I kept it :) I knew it would come in use someday!

Dollys Dreamings 52 in 10 Prompt 3

Here is my effort for prompt 2 "Goals and Aims".

52 in 10 Prompt 1, Wedding Album and snowman

52 in 10

52 in 10 prompt 1

I'm participating in the 52 in 10 project (See link above). This is my first page and second ever scrapbook page. It's not 100% finished because I need a crop a dile (yes NEED a crop a dile). But when I get one I will attach the vellum on with eyelets.

Being Your... my wedding album

My album arrived, it's from K and Co and I'm very happy with it. It's very weddingy, now I have to choose a picture to go on the front. (the one that's there isn't mine!)

Snowman

I've been wanting to make a snowman, but every opportunity I've had until today the snow hadn't been right (I'm told the temperature was too low). So here is my quick attempt, and there's Gizmo admiring it!
