Had an embarrassing moment at the local scrap shop today - apparently my bank account wasn't full enough to cope with my purchasing desires - drat that food shopping! It got in the way of my fun again...
So the kind lady put it all under the counter for me for tomorrow so I don't have to trail around the shop again - hmm, is she a friend or a foe, I wonder? I LOVE trailing around the shop! I suppose she was just trying to be helpful, but with it being payday tomorrow, I think another teeny weeny little trail might be in order.
Speaking of shopping, a few people I know have some fabulous things to buy for scrapping. Take a look at Mistra's flourishes, ooooh, so delicious! Or what about Josie's blooms? Yummo! I am going to be naughty, I know I am... shhh! don't tell my beloved one...
love, Heather

Two months!
Two months? It's two whole long, busy months since I've been here. I can hardly believe that much time has elapsed. Oh well, it waits for nobody, apparently.
In the meantime, I haven't been idle. I've hosted a couple of cyber crops on Home and Scrapped and scrapped a few nice pages, worked a bit, gardened a bit, cooked loads, scrapped some pictures, done all the usual "life and living" stuff, gone down a dress size, co-hosted a very successful Girls Night In fundraiser for breast cancer, had loads of fun chatting to people online, made some cards, did a little sewing, shopped for some fabulous bargains and was totally loved and spoiled by some friends and um, oh yes, I've managed a few pages, as well. :-D
You want to see some of the pages? OK, here are a few:
This first one is some place cards I made for the girls night in, half made. I was so excited to work out how I could make daffodils. It was a fair bit of work, but they looked fabulous on the tables.
This one was a challenge I put up on Home & Scrapped, about the influence of my father. The layout was a scraplift of another member's page, which was part of the challenge, too.
Another H&S challenge, about Pride. This is my son, the day he passed his interviews and was offered a job. He was chosen because of his attitude and manners - now that's something for a young man to be proud of, these days. I loved the effect of tracing the title on the stripe, turned the other way to the background piece.
Don't you love the leaves in this? My sister has a new sizzix die cut, mmmm... so useful having family who scraps as well!
This layout is all about my daughter's love for strawberries, because she is food intolerant and can't usually have them. But sometimes, we just have to break the rules and have a little taste. I wanted to keep it simple, so there is only one pp - the fabulous spot - and one cs, so that the focus is on the photos.
Mum, caught in the act of sewing, one of the things that looms large in my memories of my mother. I remember her sewing all my life. She's created a most wonderful array of quilts and embroideries, as well as clothes and things. Here she's helping me with some embroidery for a magazine project I was designing. I love the blue and brown together, especially with white.
This was a tricky challenge, about scrapping the worst things about yourself. I decided I'd better do a list, so I could figure out which bit was the worst... then I thought I may as well keep the whole list, lol! I was amazed at the strong reactions of my family and friends who saw it. They could just see me being negative. When my scrapping friends saw it, they got what it was about, however. That was interesting. It was also an interesting challenge, from the book We Dare You by Kristina Contes and others. It has loads of interesting in depth challenges.
My DH, just before an interview for a job we both really wanted him to get - but he didn't... ho hum, it was obviously not meant to be. The spotty paper is a basic grey one I should have bought 20 sheets of, I love it so much. The inchies were the last little bits of it - couldn't waste them.
Another challenge page from the last Home & Scrapped Cyber Crop - gee the girls came up with some good ideas!
My cute niece Madeline, modelling for her 15th birthday shots. There are more of my sister's leaves - I'm going to have to get that die for myself!
I'm squinting in the sunshine a bit, but ignore the photo and check out my lovely cuttlebugged flower embossing down the side of it! My lovely friend Lisa sent it to me from the USA. It's sooo good for cards, but this is the first time I'd used it on a layout. I will again, it's a really nice accent, I thought. The colourful flowers are cut from a We R Memory Keepers pp which I loved. I love pps that have things I can cut out.
The next layout is from a page kit swap - a group of cyber friends each post a photo or two and then are allocated a person who chooses the papers and other embellishments for the photos. It's hair raising to do that for someone, lol, but it's fun, too. I've done a few now and they are so interesting, everyone always ends up with fantastic pages.
One of my lovely cyber friends sent me a lovely kit of papers and pretties recently, from the Kaisercraft Loire Valley collection. Oh, how exciting that was to open! Thanks Kerri! Here's the first pages from the kit - more to come.
This was an interesting scrap challenge - make your background paper entirely from scraps. I try to use heaps of my scraps, usually in cards or other layouts, but this was the first time I'd attempted anything like this. It was really interesting to do, and I love how it turned out.
Another challenge on Home & Scrapped, using something specific as inspiration. I chose a fabulous Bella pp full of flowers, cut them all out by hand and put them on the page, some with pop dots, to layer them, along with a few paper flowers from Kaiser, Prima, etc. Love how it turned out!
Forgiven? I hope so... and today, after a month of being overly busy and taxed, I am hoping for a few days of peace to just be... although actually, this week might be fairly busy too. I am going to reach another decade milestone this week, ick! Having a party, so I might have to do a few little things to organise it...more cooking, more sewing, more fabby little cards, too, I suspect.
love, Heather

Background Balancing Act
Oh whew, I thought there for a minute I had managed to lose this blog. Just trying to sort some things out in the background and it was quite a run around! Why is nothing simple - one step leads to another and down a different path and around a few bends and you have to keep the roadmap in your head or you will surely be lost in the tangle! Still here we are, I'm back on track it would seem. Don't ask me how I got here though, lol, I think I just found my way back accidentally through a hole in a prickly hedge....

Finishing Off Some Challenges
I was feeling as if I had hardly done any scrapping this week, but actually, I did manage quite a few. I have been going through the Home and Scrapped challenges and finishing off a few I've missed over the weeks. There is some really inspirational stuff there from the girls, and I'm enjoying all these diverse challenges. And I'm enjoying making some cards from the scraps.
This is a new thing I've been doing - rather than just file all the scraps straight away (yes, it does happen sometimes, lol) I have been making a card or two while they are still on the desk, and even using some up completely. Yay! It feels so good to be doing something useful with them all like this. And bonus! I have a whole pile of cards ready to use. Someone suggested to me that I could bundle some up for a gift, too. Might just!
love Heather

Catching Up
Helloooo, anybody still out there? Neglect, neglect.. I've been in a bit of a grey place lately, so I haven't done anything much constructive, but hey, I'm back, and it's a nice colourful world out here.
The little tree I planted has some cute little leaf buds just starting to unfurl and it looks like Spring is on it's way. My favourite seasons are Spring and Autumn, the change over seasons. I like change. I love to think about all the possibilities and the different things that might come about because of it all. I am turning "old enough to know better" this Spring... wonder if it will hit me like a lightning bolt, or be a gradual thing? Whatever, I am looking forward to this sudden impact of wisdom... ;-)
I have done a fair bit of scrapping in the last month or so, lots of nice pages inspired by some crafty and exciting challenges at Home and Scrapped - there are some creative members there doing all sorts of fun things.
We had our first Cyber Crop there too. I was very smart and gave the challenges over to some of the members, so I could have some fun too. It worked very well, because they all came up with some excellent ideas, the clever girls that they are. Here are a few of the pages I've done - from the H&S CC and from other challenges.
Hope all is well with you right now and that you are getting plenty of scrapping time in. I am working on a wedding album for a friend at the moment, which is fun. It's her parent's wedding, so the photos are all smallish black and whites. It's nice to work with black and white for a change, it makes you look at things a little differently.
love, Heather

A New Baby
I have done something! Something exciting and new (for me). It wasn't so long ago that I did nothing on line at all - now I go on forums, run challenges, do cyber crops, play games, blog hop, have my own blog, and ta-dah! Now I have my own forum - oh, so exciting!
Want to see it? Click here to take you to: Home and Scrapped a friendly, supportive community of happy scrappers and other paper crafters. I'm pretty new at it, but I'm having some fun so far and I think the other members are too. Maybe I'll see you there, I hope so anyway... :-)

Boys in Yellow
You don't normally associate big boys/young men with soft yellows, do you? But I think it works a treat! My son is not a softie type of bloke, and I wouldn't normally choose such a shade for him, but I bought this gorgeous patterned paper the other day, and happened to plop the photos down on it as it was still sitting on my desk after I brought it home. Mmmmm. I liked it. It's not what I was going to do with it, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. The letters are from various pps that happened to go with the original paper, traced from some chipboard letters I bought ages ago. Nice shape. (That second page doesn't really bow, it was just a wonky photograph for some reason.) I think one of the reasons the yellow works so well is the rust and black bits. I really like this colour scheme, I'd like to use it again some time.

Mini Japanese Dolls Tutorial
I have a little treat for you today. I've done a tutorial on some cute new friends I've made. Go here to find the PDF file. She is free for you to download and make - and if your friends want one too, just direct them here!
It's nice and easy, and I've done lots of pictures so you can see how to do it. I tried to find a decent pattern somewhere online but there was nothing I could find. Just vague directions and some of them were really quite big dolls, too. I just wanted something small for a card I was making. Once I'd worked out sizes, and how to make the shapes and folds, I thought I may as well share. :-) Hope you like her.

A month of productivity
Goodness, it's been longer than I thought since I've been here - I was thinking it was a couple of weeks and feeling bad enough about that, but it's more than a month! What happens to time? Where does it all disappear to, and so without permission...
I have done a few pages in that missing time. Not as many as I'd like, but I've also made a quilt and practically decluttered my entire house, so it's not like I've been sitting around doing nothing. Well, OK, I have sometimes. But we're allowed to sometimes, aren't we?
Anyway, this is partly what I've been up to:
And I've done quite a few recipe, tag and other swaps... and have received so many delicious things in return - it's been a very productive month actually. There's even cake in the dome and a spare one in the freezer!

Fulfilling the Desire
Fulfilling the desire to scrap. Hmm. I just want to scrap. I don't want to do the dishes, or do the grocery shopping, or find out stuff about geographical projects for my daughters homework (that she can't manage). I want to get out on paper all the creative urge in me, and I want to do it every day. I don't want to clear the boxes out of the garage, or cut back the overgrown bushes, or worry about the state of the world, I just want to scrap!
Oh, I'm happy enough to spend time with people and live my life, but after a while, there is this small but insistent nudge, lurking in the shadows of my mind, trying to entice me homewards to the sanctuary of my work room. There I can play with my scrapping supplies and feel - ohhh, so satisfied, so happy just to be there, fulfilling the desire to be creative and to express myself through this fabulous medium. I used to say that I wanted to scrap to tell the story, and for my children, but now I just scrap because I love it.
I've been enjoying making little flourishes and swirls lately, like the ones in this page of my mother. So much fun - though the cutting out can be a bit tricky at times. This page was my last challenge for the Scrapwitch CC. After tomorrow, it's all done and dusted and reality will start to set back in - back to study and housework and all that.
But there's a new resolve in me to carve out some time every day for the stuff I want to do, rather than just the stuff I have to do. It's more than just time management and organisational skills, though they're definitely important. It's more than prioritising. It's more than desire and need and being busy. When I find out what it is, I'll tell you. I promise.
love, Heather

Two More Down, One To Go!
I've managed to finish another two layouts. One to go and I'm all done. Well, until tomorrow that is - I'm sure there will be something else to draw my creative attention tomorrow! ;-)
The first one here is something of a first for me - I actually managed to fiddle with PSP to alter the photo before printing. Usually I just do dull stuff like squaring and cropping and maybe lightening or something, but for this one I actually fiddled with the "noise" and added some swirls to the edges. Might not be a big start into the world of digi scrapping, but a start it is. I've still scrapped in the traditional way. I love paper and pretties too much to go completely digi I think. It was a good challenge though, because it made me go that little step further, and that's one of the best things about doing cyber crops and challenges, you take another little step forward. Movement is good.
The last one here was fun to do too. I haven't doodled on flowers for a while, but it was just what was needed here - they were a bit flat without the doodling, I thought. And I did that scalloped bit of pp down the side and it looked a bit heavy, so I just cut it out again to make it kind of lacy. I think it worked a treat. I'll do that again, it's a bit different.
Oh goodness, I've certainly gone through some flowers and bling this weekend! And glue. I'm down to the yukky glue now. Ick. I will be taking a quick trip to my LSS to get some lovely Kaisercraft Glue Sticks tomorrow - never want to run out of them again! Such a nice glue, doesn't stick to your fingers and make them all icky. And if you get any on your layout or desk, wait a few seconds and you can rub it off with your fingers - it just balls up and wipes away, leaving no sticky residue or marks. Fab!

Cyber Crop Layouts
I've been busy scrapping the Easter weekend away, doing some of the challenges on Scrapwitch at the Cyber Crop. I still have 3 challenges to go, and I'm hoping to get a couple of them done today. I've invited a friend over for my daughter, so that she will be happily occupied - I wish she was crafty too, but although she loves to see the stuff, she's just not that into doing it. Her talents lie elsewhere.
So, here is my Cyber Crop so far: The first page is a mistake. Doh! You know that old saying, "If in doubt, read the instructions" - well, I read the instructions for this challenge, which was to scraplift a layout from Ready Steady Scrap, then went away to do other things needing attention, and then came back and merrily made my page. Enjoyed it too, I really like this page. Then one final read of the instructions to check I'd done it all... and that's when I saw my mistakes. Yes, two... It was supposed to have a one word title and have strip journalling. :-| Oh well, I get to scrap another page, woo hoo! As if I need an excuse, lol, but I like to have one when I can.
If you want some major inspiration, go check out the forum - the cyber crop is still running until next Saturday and there are some great challenges, prizes, games, lots of fun and community spirit. Me, I'm off to take this colour out of my hair (not quite ready to go grey yet!) and get ready to do the next challenge!

Busy Scrapping
Wow, what a creative lot those girls are, I'm so impressed with the challenges so far at our fabby Easter Cyber Crop. I'd post a picture of my first layout but blogger is being naughty. Maybe tomorrow. I thought I'd get another one done tonight but I'm tired-er than I thought. Really must finish that book so I can go to bed at a decent time....
If you want to scrap some pages with an innovative twist to them, go see what the Scrapwitch girls have for you. See you there tomorrow.
love, Heather
