HNY!

Another year has passed, no doubt it will take me until March to realise that I'm still writing 2016! On a personal note, it's been a very turbulent year, but it was also the year that I married my sweetheart and I made the effort to push myself creatively with this blog. Over 70 posts later and here we are! I thought I'd mark the occasion with a post which showcases my favourite places / events from 2016.

The big day

Grasmere, The Lakes

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions, but I will say that there are lots of exciting changes in my life in place for 2017 so life can only get sweeter! AND I've been inspired to sew [from binge-watching Project Runway], so expect to see more of that on my blog.

Stay tuned :)

Good afternoon!

Today I want to talk about a special project that I've been working on for over a year [slowly!]
I'm creating a scrapbook for my mother dearest for a special birthday which falls on 10th September next year.

I've never made a scrapbook before, and it's actually more daunting than i thought having a 12x12 space to work with. I decided to break the rules a bit but having many images on one page rather than a solo picture, my dies and embellishment stash has come in handy!

Here's a page which features some snaps from the year my meem was born, with her mother and father. I decided to go bright with the colour scheme to lift the black and white imagery.
I hope you like it!
