Saturday crop day

How I love my Brighton crop!  Each month we  have a topic to create a LO for the page of the day.  We all vote for our favourite, and the winner gets a small prize (out of a pile we have all donated).   This month’s theme was ‘10’.  My LO is a list of 10 things I like to cook.  It is for my Everyone has a story album from a Shimelle class I did 18 months or so ago.  (I have decided to finish off this project) It also qualifies for last weeks’s Scrap Weekly challenge and fits the bill for our teams UKScrappers weekly challenge!  3 challenges in 1 LO!!!

 

We also like to try a technique.  Ths month Lorna bought her ‘shaving foam’ technique along and we got messy!

We squirted ink onto a plate of shaving foam, then placed shiny card on top.  When you wipe the shaving foam off you get a marble pattern.  Ours were a bit faint and hard to photograph.  Nice backgrounds though!

Friday 5th Feb

I went to Brighton todya for a craft show.  (Don’t I lead a lovely life?)  I went with Sara from my Brighton crop, and we met the others for lunch, then had a look round and bought a few things:

The only thing I really didn’t mean to buy is the paper!  But it is the ‘Venice’ range from 7gypsies, so I am going to scrap my Venice photos!!

 

Here’s one of the displays, all made from fabric and thread!

Thursday 4th Feb

I started Stacey Julian’s Library of Memories (LOM)class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking today.  It cost me a lot of money so I am determined to get the most out of it.

You gotta watch this!

Wednesday 3rd Feb

I didn’t take a photo today so here’s an old one I have scanned in to help me finish Shimelle’s ‘Everyone has a Story’ album:

It’s me in January 1977!  I was nearly 18, so I must have known Maurice for about 6 months.  This picture was taken in London.

Tuesday 1st Feb

Here are some of my purchases from Ardingly.  It is great fun to arrange them and take photos like these!

 

Monday 1st Feb - Another snowy day

We woke up to more snow!  Not much and it was gone by lunchtime.  Pretty cold though and a bit slippy on my bike!
