Hobbies and Crafts

just thought i would let you know hobbie craft at sheffield was brill for old fashioned backing paper but i decided i would also try a craft shop local and exact same paper 20p cheaper and they were good with advice they have also helped me pick other bits n bobs that would match the paper she has told me to take it up when finished and anything i need to give her a ring so im chuffed with everything now i need to get on with it and thank you for the encouragement.

Sounds a great idea Dizzi. Sarah, that is a shame but safer I suppose, you will have to scrap at home now!!

JEAN SENT EMAIL XXX

I SUPOSE THEY COULD BE LAMINATED
AND HANG THEM ON THE WALL AS WELL

My crop has been cancelled again due to snow :( For the best really as I would have been travelling over 30 miles to get there but i was looking forward to it. Not sure what I am going to do today now.

Dizzi that sounds like a great idea.

Jean I'm not surprised most of the stuff as gone at the prices they were offering it at

Dizzi that sounds good, I would love to see your finished page so if you feel like it mail it tp me, please,

I have just got my stuff out and cant make a start, scrappers block I suppose, I am going to have a look at all the pages you lovely folk have sent me again,maybe it will set me off....

love Jean x p.s.Sarah, I had a look at the site and although most of the stuff seems to have gone I did manage a few....lol.....like you do.......

FIRST IDEA
GOT SOME LEAF PICTURES OF GOOGLE
USING AS TEMPLATES
GOING TO COPY THE OLD BABY PHOTOS
AND PUT ONE ON A LEAF WITH NAME ON
AND DATE BORN

Enjoy the scrap tomorrow Sarah.

I really must finish the card for my grandson's 18th before I do any more scrapping, although I have sort of started looking for photos for the other grandson's 21st scrap book.

Definitely

Strange how we can always justify these things though isn't it Sarah????

Am having great fun today sorting my stuff out for my crop tomorrow, it was cancelled earlier in the month due to snow so really looking forward to some scrapbooking time.

And after what I said about Stickles yesterday I went and ordered some last night (two of the designer glitz stickles) because they were in an online stores closing down sale at less than a pound a bottle and it was too good to pass up. Ordered loads of other stuff too that I probably don't really need but some of it is destined for the 8x8 album for my niece - like that justifies anything!

Sally I can't see why it shouldn't work, can you add a bit in the journalling to explain who the younger person is?

Do have a go Dizzi and keep us updated (when you find time) of your progress.

OKAY
EVEN MORE PILES OF PAPER,PHOTOS
AND BITS
OH WILL BE SO HAPPY....LOL
WELL WE EAT OFF THE DINING ROOM TABLE AT
CHRISTMAS
WHAT MORE DOSE HE WANT

Ann, you're probably right, I'll come back with more than just the paper. We have a small craft shop in town, they don't have the room to stock too much paper and card, but they have some lovely embellishments there, that I don't see at Hobbycraft. Also if you're not sure how to do something the ladies there will show you how to.

Love, Sallie.x

Dizzi, great you'll love doing it, just be warned you'll become adicted to it .

Shemps, as I told Dizzi, just follow Ann's clear instructions and you'll be fine. As Ann said, if you need help, just ask on here and you'll get plenty of help and advice. Good luck!

Love, Sallie.x

APOLOGIES GOT CALLED AWAY

NOW IM GETTTING THE IDEA

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

Ann, yes I have another photo I can use in it's place, the only thing is I was trying to keep to the same generation, but the new photo has only one of the same generation on it, and one from the next generation. Do you think that it would work in okay?

Thanks, Sallie.x

Shemp, craft shops such as Hobby craft sell backing papers. You can also get it on line. Just enter Craft shops into your search. Do come back here if you need help.

i also got a scrap book for christmas my friend said its something different for me to do i also have had loads of old photos given ,
and i would like some old fashioned paper for the backing dose anyone know were i can get some. thanks .ive never done this before although i have seen it done early last year.
the scrapbooking course is full so any help i thank you .
i have picked up on a few tips on this thread thank you

Oh well, I love an excuse to go to hobbycraft, bet you don't just buy card and paper!!!! If you take out the photo will it unbalance the page? have you got another photo you can put in its place?
