2016 September scrapbook session

Scrapbooking 101 class

I apologize now for the photo quality - my computer is still on the fritz and I cannot photo edit... Better this than nothing for now... I can't even flip pages - sigh... will fix! aahhhhhh I cannot tell you how frustrated I am! Some are fine, some flip- all look blurry- no crop - sob .....

This is the pages to go with this class - so sorry about slow posting with my mother board going on my computer. I am way behind. We mostly covered an intense class of information. I think the girls are well equiped to start scrappin' now :) Watch for crop nights....

Misc Scrapbooking

These are made from a kit to get some images done up for rellies and not my most talented pieces but sharing none the less. They are from a kit I purchased from a friend a while back and super convenient

Scrapbook pages I have been playing with ...

This one the photo just does not do justice... I was trying a new technique transferring an image onto packing tape then mounting to paper. It is not really meant to be super clear but the lines really come through in photo. It is magically fun! And this is a silly photo of a boy being silly so I thought the layout should be fun...

Wizard, Wedding Bliss for Ben and thinking of a special boy...

My friend Ben married his long love Aimee this past bit in Vancouver, then Toronto, then again back home in England. I am very happy for them both and wish them a lifetime of happiness. I just love the new Rub-ons from Stampin' Up! so had to use them on the card. I formed the flowers to give them dimension (see detail image) and finished off with one of our pearls in the centre.
