Criteria for March – TRAVEL theme

Hello, my name is Phillis Walrath.  I’ve been an avid scrapbooker for 25+ years.  I am a retired school librarian and have been married for almost 30 years. I began documenting my 2 children’s lives in photos after some friends invited me to a craft day.  I also make cards and sometimes I make my own embellishments.  I have recently begun to explore junk journaling.   For me it is all about preserving the memories.  My go to embellishments are buttons, ink, and ribbon or string.  I usually start with a sketch and let the page flow from there. I now have a grandson, who is now the person I scrap the most.

Our February guest ...

Please welcome our February guest designer,  BERNADETTE ROBBINS with her wonderful take on our February Summer challenge.

I have been enjoying scrapbooking for over 20 years on and off but now my boys are 12 and 14, I get to do it a lot more now than I ever have. I mostly scrapbook my 2 boys, my husband, our 2 cats and our dog. I am always looking for new ideas and techniques. So far I have 53 12x12 albums, a few mini albums and some albums I made all by myself. I love hand stitching, distressing edges, metal dies and ALL the patterned paper, using water colour is my favourite technique at the moment. This year I'm hoping to teach myself more about mixed media and to use my stamps more because they have just been sitting there for many years.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me. Happy scrapping!

Our January guest ...

Please welcome our January guest designer, Sue Allen with her delightful take on Karen Guy's layout for our December/January scraplift challenge.

Thank you for choosing me to be a guest designer this month. 

About me. My name is Sue, 68, living in Surrey in the south of England. My husband and I have 2 children and 4 grandchildren who all appear very frequently on my pages and are a very big part of our lives. Scrapbooking entered my life by accident about 25 years ago when I visited a craft shop for paint and came home with a mini album and some papers. The rest, as they say, is history. I attend a monthly crop and a yearly retreat and have more stash than I will ever use! My current favourite paper range is 49th & Market as you can see from my pages and it also explains why I find White with 1 a challenge. Very hard to create a minimalist page.

Thank you so very much for guesting with us this month Sue. It has been such a pleasure having you join in with us.

There is still plenty of time to join in with our scraplift challenge (just find a layout from one of the team and crate your own version of it) - entries close midnight on the last day of the month. We'd love to see your entry.
