Hidden photos and journalling

Hello again,

Over the years I've had a few people question me about journalling on our pages.  It's not that we don't do it, just that as we often make many pages of a holiday or event there is no need to journal every page.  It is good to put dates (when you can remember them), and of course names of those who appear in the photos, location ect, but that can be done on the title page, on a special journal page or index and isn't necessary on every page.  

When we journal, how do we 'do it'?  Often we use signs that are already at the location, (like the one here)... 



or use our alphabet templates to annotate location, date or occasion - here is a page that does all three
  



and one that combines both methods...

But what about when you want to tell more of a story?  That's where our interactive pages come in beautifully.  At first glance they may just look like a 'normal' page, but pull the tab, open the door, flip it open and you'll find space to do all that and more!     The ladies attending the advanced class this coming Saturday will be having a go at this, so you might find some of their creations on Facebook in the coming weeks as my 'page of the week'.   Meanwhile, here are a few of mine to give you a couple of ideas.


 

  

I love doing these sort of pages, but they do require careful planning so are not quick pages!

Enjoy having a go and see what you can achieve.  If you get stuck bring them to a class or scrap table and we can take a look - it's always possible to work it out.

meanwhile, 
Happy Scrappin'

It's May already

Where did that go?   Probably passed me by whilst I've been buried in my scrap bunker.  

Here we are a
nd it's New York New York time, that's what our beautiful new template is called.  Grab a brew and take a look at our new products in the May catalogue - tab is above.  
I don't have any 'New York' photos, but here is a page of my dad in Berlin - it's the closest I have, lol.

Seriously, I've been busy with study and scrap classes.  I did find time to have a stall at the Mothers Day Ladies Night Market at the Sanctuary Golf Resort here in Bunbury last Friday.  Sooo many lovely things that the talented ladies of this region have to offer us all.  Do watch out for it next time and plan a night with your girl friends, if you are in the area.  I met lots of great ladies, some of whom are coming to a class this coming Saturday... if you would like to join them there are still some spaces.  

Saturday May 11th
Morning Class: 9.30am - 12.30pm
Afternoon Class: 2.00pm - 5.00pm

You can book into both if you wish - byo lunch.  Don't forget though there are only six places maximum so get in quick - email me using the link on the right.

Not sure what is happening in June yet as we have the long weekend... watch this space, there will be classes on the 8th for sure so 'save the date'.

Happy Scrappin',
