Using a mini album we made at Scrapaholix I made this card for my parents 40th Anniversary.

Document 2010 update

May
This is was a Scrapaholix kit I got in a bundle at the Make It Show in Farnborough. I'm not sure what month it was, but I loved the papers.



April
This was July's Scrapaholix kit. The theme was paper flowers. I just used ink pads to add a bit of colour to mine and used gems for the centres.




March
This was the Scrapaholix May kit. The theme was Chipboard letters. I used stickles to decorate some and just ink pads for others.


February
This was made prior to I started the scrapaholix club. I went for a pink and black theme. I used Black Magic Co'ordinations paper and embossed and sanded to bring through the pink underside.

BY2010 - March Blog Hop

I've had a terrible month of scrapping. I've hardly done any because I've had no inspiration at all. I haven't finished this page, but I think this is the final version (except I'm yet to do the journalling). Not much is stuck down.

My idea for myself was to use stitching and so I stitched without really knowing where I was going with it - so everything else is an after thought. For the hidden journalling I want to list everybody in the photo so I can remember in years to come. I still need to ask my mum who some of the people are - hence why I've not printed it out yet. Then I want to put some hand written text in the white space at the bottom, but not sure what to say yet.

Document 2010 - February Main Page

This is the Main Page for Document 2010: February. I used Black Magic Co'ordinations. I've embossed the swirls and sanded them over to reveal the pink underside.

Document:2010 January

These are my scrapbook pages for the Document:2010 project for January. The idea is to have 1 main page, 2 divider pages and the final page should be an envelope page holding all your stubs etc that you collected throughout the month. I didn't have enough bits, so I wrote some journalling instead.

BY2010 - March

Hi everyone! It's my turn to provide a sketch :s Kate at Liberty Cottage has encouraged me to come up with my own - so you can blame her for this! I've decided to have the sketch for a single large photo (but I guess you could do smaller ones together). Being that I'm doing my wedding album there are a few pages where I want to use single photos so it will be inspirational to see your interpretations.

Apologies for the sketch, my Gimp (or photoshop) skills are virtually non-existent as I'm a programmer and usually get the designers to do this sort of stuff :)

I'd like to encourage some journalling, so you've got 2 options. You can either add some hidden journalling behind the photo in a pocket with a pull tab or similar (that's what the box with an arrow is!), or you can add some small journalling at the bottom. Or both. Or none if you really hate journalling.


Is that all I need to do in this post? Message me if I'm missing anything!
