Continue reading →: Selfie tips: faceI’m a huge fan of bathroom selfies. There’s something very kind to my 50-something face about the light in there. And I don’t even care that my selfies all have damp towels in the background. Here’s a few ideas for getting selfies you’re happy to work with in your projects…

Continue reading →: Travel journalThis admission is going to reveal quite how deeply (worryingly?) into scrapbooking I am. The truth is that I don’t like to travel without some sort of little scrap kit and find it incredibly comforting to have that part of my identity come with me when I’m on the move.…

Continue reading →: My garden: summerWell, it’s good news and bad news with my geraniums that I grew from seed. After planting two lots and being so encouraged by all my little seedling babies, only one lot went on to become healthy, thriving plants. It’s knocked my confidence a little, as I still have no…

Continue reading →: Random memoriesClaire has a new carpet in her bedroom. It has thick pile and smells of newness and being special. It’s such a bright red that it turns her walls pink. The carpet is a thing of beauty and each time there’s a choice, I vote to play in her room.…

Continue reading →: Pattern crush: pink daisiesIt’s funny, but my most downloaded patterns are not even close to my favourites! They’re the more sensible blue floral designs. But then I’ve always been a cutesy milkshake pink gal. 😉 And today, we’ve got another one, that I’m already more than a little bit obsessed with…

Continue reading →: Tidy with meYou’ll laugh at me, but this is messy for me: I normally have – at most – three or four things on my desk at once, and one of those is a cup of tea. 😉

Continue reading →: Pattern crush: hey cute girlI had fun with this one! Based on my favourite pink-haired Barbie doll, this fun pattern is going to be so fun to use in my little book.

Continue reading →: My day of funDo you remember the episode of Friends where Chandler’s girlfriend Janice and his roommate Joey spend the entire day together in an attempt to get along better? Janice announces it, “Janice and Joey’s Day. Of. Fun!” before lapsing into her trademark honking laugh. Well, I kind of liked that idea.…

Continue reading →: Pattern crush: Care BearsOne of my very favourite possessions is my vintage Care Bear. It’s not original to me, but is still so special. I spotted it in our local charity shop and later told my hubby how I hadn’t bought it, but left it for an actual little girl to buy.

Continue reading →: My rules of lifeGosh, what a dramatic title! But you know what I mean: those little things in life that you’ve decided feel important. The things you make sure you always do, because they make life sweeter. Here are my ‘rules of life’…

Continue reading →: Summer coffee cup albumWe had drinks on the prom yesterday, bought from our favourite seafront hipster cafe. I had white hot chocolate (oh yes, it was good!) and it came in a pretty pink cup. And yes, I was quite happy to craft with the actual cup I used, ha ha (it’s okay:…

Continue reading →: Cut-out & floralsTime for a scraptherapy page today! This time, using a brand new printable (the search for the perfect ‘Suse’ floral continues…)
-
Continue reading →: Methodist biscuitsA rather unusual name for a cookie recipe, but it stems from a challenge to some friends to prove that church biscuits can be yummy and not the soggy “been in a tub for a month” offerings we munched on as Sunday School kids. 😉

Continue reading →: Scraptherapy: floralsI couldn’t resist trying out my new floral clusters on a Scraptherapy page… and they look so very cute!

Continue reading →: Princess Kate printableYou know I couldn’t resist: one look at that over-sized striped bow and I knew that I needed that Princess in my little book.

Continue reading →: London tag albumHappy birthday (sort of), to King Charles! Let’s make a tag album about London in his honour, using Wednesday’s freebie.

Continue reading →: Pretty floral clustersYou may have noticed that I’m basically designing the things I want to scrapbook with! Today’s printable is one that I’m super pleased with as it makes any kind of project so ridiculously simple: cute floral clusters that you just snuggle around your photo.

Continue reading →: Pattern crush: ditsy pinksAnother pretty printable for us today! I was trying to design my ultimate favourite floral and I think I got *close* – but I will keep practising (as it’s too much fun to stop).

Continue reading →: UK election kitYes, you did read that right. I’ve just spent the last hour happily doodling Sir Kier, Dishy Rishi and pals.

Continue reading →: Confetti shaker layoutYou know when you have a crazy idea for a scrapbook layout and just have to try it, to see if it works? Today’s process video shows how I try to make a shaker pocket within a shaker pocket, using cake sprinkles. As you do.

Continue reading →: Pattern crush: dollyIt’s time to get super-cute with another printable. Today we have a completely adorable dolly print, based on a rag doll my girl had when she was small.

Continue reading →: Royal Family freebieNow we all know I’m a bit of a UK Royal Family nut… This weekend, it’s Trooping the Colour, which is the exciting ‘horses and marching soldiers’ hoopla where they celebrate the King’s birthday. Though I’m not sure it’s his real one. I will be donning my best frilly frock…

Continue reading →: Pattern crush: caravanWe’ve had an ice cream van and a camper van, so of course, it was time for a caravan. In pink, of course 😉

Continue reading →: Susie homemakerI’m often asked when I plan to go back to work. Our kiddo is grown, so I can’t really use the ‘stay at home mum’ label anymore. And while I thoroughly enjoyed my years spent working in publishing, it would need to be a really ‘me’ job to ever lure…
