Scrap Map Saturday

My entry for Scrap Map Saturday over at Creative Craft World. My father at the top of Glastonbury Tor.



My mojo is slowly returning to me, so I've decided to try and use up some of my bits and pieces rather than cutting straight into new purchases. I wanted to double mount this picture, but didn't have enough pieces of a large size, so the background is actually lots of small strips layered up and then cut down to size.

I've even started to use my Thickers, rather than just looking at them!

Layouts from Today

Finally got some of the pictures back that I took of Alex in London. Really not impressed with the service from Snapfish, but at least they were free. The pictures aren't of the same quality that I've been getting from Photobox either. Shan't be straying from there now, freebies or not.

I'd bought myself a piece of this 3 Bugs paper because it features lions and giraffes. I'm still waiting for my giraffe stamp from Scrap Shed so I can use the giraffe strip. Of course, I'm still waiting for that as well and it's been over a month. Great. Somewhere else that won't be getting a return order.


This is the weekly challenge layout, not completely happy with it - probably should have deviated from the sketch a little bit more.

Mother & The Map

Just something I did for fun this weekend. I've been gazing at this sheet of chipboard for months and not used it. Then I thought I should just use up all the flowers in one go on a layout without any patterned papers. This is the result.

My mother, supposedly studying a map, when, in fact, she's standing guard so that walkers don't come wandering over while my Dad is peeing behind a hedge...

The chipboard was part of a kit and I can't remember what company made them.

Cosmo Cricket - Early Bird

I've no idea how I overlooked posting all of these! I loved this paper collection so much and must've just used it all up and not even thought about posting the layouts to my Blog. They did all end up in my UKS gallery though!


From my UKS post: My mother and I up Glastonbury Tor. I love these Cosmo Cricket pp's so much that I decided to simply block them rather than layering them so I can just appreciate the gorgeous patterns. Totally lazy LO!


From my UKS post: My parents at Burrow Mump, for our weekly challenge.


From my UKS post: Song title from either Sting or Gwen Stefani - yes (although I have to say that I didn't know what the song was about until after I made the LO and now I wish I'd picked something else...)


From my UKS post: My folks after they jumped the wall and went into Muchelney Abbey without bothering with the main entrance. We already had tickets, but I felt rather guilty. They're such a bad example!

UKS Cyber Crop

These are my favourites from the recent Cyber Crop on UKS.

One of the Summer school locations, Hundale Point. This was taken about twenty minutes after a massive rain storm.

My parents on Glastonbury Tor. The little felt cherries came from one of my Bijoux Belles! :)

Sunset at Grand Canyon, South Rim.
