12 x 12 Scrapbook

Hi everyone, hope your having a good weekend?

I woke up with a really sore throat this morning so Im hoping I am not going to come down with a cold (but knowing my luck, I will!).

As I promised the other day, here is the 12" x 12" scrapbook I made with another of the Simply Scrapping Kits, One Great Year.  Again its retired, but I have some more hidden away to play with!

On the cover, I have used a sheet of paper from the Love Stories Simply Scrapping set as the actual scrapbook has a brown coloured spine which didnt really go with the items in the One Great Year kit.  The scrapbook is one I have had for years (I have no idea where I bought it from, so to make the all th colours coordinate, I used some Elegant Eggplant ribbon around the edges of the paper, then added all the stickers for the months, mounting them on Chocolate Chip cardstock.

Here are some photos of the inside.

 Hope you have a great weekend.

Fancy a Scrap?

Whilst I was moving all my stuff around, I found a drawer with loads of retired cardstock and some Simply Scrapping kits.  I decided to use some of them up over the last couple of days and had an absolute ball playing in my new craft room!!!

The brilliant thing about the Stampin' Up! Scrapping Kits is that you have coordinating 12x12" cardstock, Designer Series Papers plus self adhesive borders and accents, all in the same pack.  My problem is though, that I REALLY struggle to use them.  All I do is spread them out on my table and admire their total gorgeousness!

Here is a scrapbook I made on Monday to fit inside some A5 sized tins I bought about a year ago.  Its made using the Love Stories Simply Scrapping kit which retired a while ago, but its lovely.

 The band is just there to hold the tin shut.  Here is a picture of the front of the scrapbook.

 And here is one of the inside.

 I made a mini album last April to hold some of the photos of our anniversary and here are a couple of photos of that album.

So, thats two albums using the kit - plus I still have nearly half of the kit left!!!  Bargain.

Off to finish off my next scrapbook project - I'll be back at the weekend with a full scrapbook using another scrapping kit, so bob back to have a look.

Mini Scrapbook

Some of you may remember that in April this year me & my hubby celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary - where on earth did 25 years go...?

Anyway, we dont usually do photos but I managed to scrape a few together to include in a little scrapbook I made at a class with the lovely Joanne - you can see the details of it on Joannes blog here.

For my album I used a Simply Scrapping kit called Love Stories.  Here is the main front cover

The inside of the front cover has a pocket for keepsakes - for mine, theres just going to be the two tags and I will do some journalling on them soon.

 Each of the pages has a tag and the stickers from the kit look really nice on the tags, just adding that little extra touch.

I wont bore you all with the rest of the photos, but the scrapbook is lovely, I am so impressed with the items in the scrapping kits.  I had only ever bought one of them before, but have 'collected' nearly all of them since making the album!!!  Considering the amount of product included in the kits they are brilliant value and the quality is excellent.

Thanks for bobing over to see me!
