Today is National Scrapbooking Day and over at Studio Calico and Two Peas in a Bucket there are loads of challenges going on. So why not join in, I am :o)

Monday, 30 April 2012

Well, I've nearly managed to find new homes for all the World Book Night books, just another couple earmarked for people and looking forward to reading it myself. Our Medical Director said it's one of the best books he has ever read, now that's high praise indeed.

On a scrapping front, having scanned loads of old photo's in whilst visiting my Dad, I've started to scrap them for my album of me and I have to be honest I am loving it. As we scanned them in, Dad told me stories and info on each photo which will make the journalling a lot more meaningful and personal. It's given me a real buzz.

So here is the first LO I've done. I was going to enter if for Shimelle's weekend challenge but it took me too long to do. I struggled as I don't really do pink, but here it is anyway ........

What a porker

The second photo is another from my formative years and my entry for this months The Studio Challenge, which is to scrap a song title.

And finally, over on UK Scrappers the April 'and now for something completely different' was a great lay out using a very large photograph. Here's my entry (just need to add the journaling).

So that's it for tonight, off to watch a bit of television whilst the electric blanket warms up. Well. it's freezing up here.

World Book Night

Juliwan April 23, 2012 0 Comments

Tonight is World Book Night if you didn't know. The idea is that once a year the lovely publishers give away thousands of books to encourage the Nation to get reading. So this year I decided to be a distributor or the book fairy as I prefer to be called and have in my possession 24 copies of the Book Thief, to distribute.
If you are interested in joining in next year, go to the website and have a look. It's fun and it's not often you get a book for nothing.
