Back for now

Hello everyone

I have sorted out my life and have now almost caught up with Project Life. So what I am going to do is do a video of a flip through of my project life album so far. 

Sorry about now posting any videos I needed space and get everything sorted with my life. 

Hope everyone is well and having a great summer.

I am off to Florida again in just over 3 weeks so I will not be around for that but I will do a video explaining everything I will be doing.

I have got a new paper trimmer as mine was badly damaged after a few weeks (heavy usage) I have another Fiskars paper trimmer which is the SureCut Large Paper Trimmer. I got mine from Hobby Craft. I am finding this one is more useful than my previous Fiskars one. So I have taken some photos of it on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as I didn't have my EOS 100D Canon at hand.

You can't really see but this is a photo of the wire and it was splitting really badly.

Sorry I haven't posted......

Hello everyone....

I will carry on with Project Life in my own time and if I am feeling up to it I will post I am going to try and catch up on here for now and give you low downs on my pages and a scrapbook page I have done.

So please keep checking out my channel and blog as I will try and keep up. I am rubbish at doing the blog I know and I am trying to get better. 

Thanks everyone for watching my videos so far :)

Project Life Layout Week 9 and 10

Week 3 Project Life

Hello everyone

Sorry it's been a while but I have decided to do Project Life this year after watching all of last year and doing a taster of it from my Florida Holiday. I was loving the whole idea of the scrapbook. The only thing I wasn't happy about what the fact I didn't have many embellishments so the layouts look very flat.

So this year I am going to make my own from the cd's I have with the Me To You ones. Hoping they will look just as good as I hope plus I can make my own paper backgrounds. 

Neil (My Boyfriend) got me for my birthday the Kraft Core Kit and the page protectors which I was over the moon about and I just couldn't wait to use them and used them to document my Christmas which was amazing. 

So I have already done week 1, 2 and 3 now just thought I would update my blog. I will add pictures as soon as possible of my page layouts of week 1 and 2.

But I have done a video of Week 3

Which is here..... 

I hope you like and please subscribe to my channel where I will be doing some layout videos, project life and some other things. 

I will be doing week four at some point this week as I have been busy and will be meeting up with my best mate and then have a sad day on Tuesday but will get it done as soon as possible.

Hello Disney Page Layout

So I was looking through my box for scrapbooking when I came across four night photos from Disney World Florida so I wanted to use these photos and do a layout.

Here is the finished look. It came out really well I have used cardstock from Trimcraft and a paper pack too. I used some stickers cards and boarder from my Disney World/ Disney Land scrapbook pack. I used some go create craft paint. There is some arrows from the La De Dah flags to give it so pastel colours. 

Some deals from Hobby Craft

So today me and my partner went to Northampton to go to Hobby Craft.

So we went round the store and I found some good deals. 

Project Life things were 20% off all products. I got myself the mini kit for Holidays. It was £14.99 and I got it for £11.24

I also got two sharpie pens which are ultra fine. I got the pastel purple and black. These were £1.50 each. 

I got five wooden stamps which are small but for Christmas. This was £2.50

I two acrylic blocks for stamping and they were in a pack which cost £3.00

Dear Lizzy date stamp which is £5.00

Pukka highlighter pack which is £1.50

I also joined the hobby craft club. 

I have just got a second hand Filofax, which doesn't start till the 18th December which is great as my birthday is 19th December. I have done some stamping with my new items for the week of Christmas, I will update more when I get into it in the new year. 

Loads of things but are XMAS!

Yes it is early but it's just round the corner now and that is CHRISTMAS 

I have ordered a few things like a planner from Paperchase just because I do have a filofax which is the Cancer one in the pocket size but never really used it but I wanted an A5 size because I love big planner/diary so I got myself a cheaper version of the Filofax. 

Which is this

This is Vintage London £22.00

Love the colours and it looks so cool and different from Filofax but have the same 6 rings as theirs. 

The only thing that I am not happy about is the fact the paper inside is 70lb and so my pens do bleed through the page. But they came with the planner and I will use them until I find one I like the look of or at the right price. 

My Cancer Pink Filofax I got in 2008 and I think it was £15 but it could of been in the sale the reason I like it was because it was small and it was good for my college work keeping it all together and then when I finished in 2008 I stop using it all together. So I ordered from ebay the pink sheets for 2015 to add into it and hopefully will start to use that as well to just keep in purse. I am not a pink person but it's for cancer and it's not a shocking pink either. 

The pen is from when I was in school and went through thing of loving playboy. It's a lovely writer but it's blue ink and I am a black ink person. It does have a pencil but I have some how broken the winding for the pencil and it's not working :( and it's all silver but I will keep it though as it does look pretty. 

I know I am not meant to use my big one now but I wanted to get it set up and use to it before the new year. So I have done my own dividers for both of these planners. 

I used the paper pad from New Bloom. I love these papers in this pack and just wanted to have them as my dividers I used mainly the double size paper and two one sided paper and that didn't laminate that well but I have still used it.
