~ Tashkent Title Page ~

Hi there, I'm here with a quick post of a page I created for my travel album. I'm enjoying getting to grips with my photos from our Uzbekistan trip. Especially using some extra large photos.

This layout uses elements from the Shimelle 'Go Now Go' collection. It is a very simple page but I like the striking photo of Amir Temur in front of our iconic Hotel in Tashkent. I like using large photo layouts to identify a change in city or country when creating my travel albums.

Thanks for looking.

Happy Crafting!

~ Like For Ever Guest Designer - Love you ~

Today I'm over on the Like For Ever Blog with my final creation as their October Guest Designer. I have loved creating with this month's 'Harmony' kit.

It has been a great month for me creatively and I find having a deadline gives me focus and motivation to create when I could very easily procrastinate. I would advise anyone to have a go at applying for Design Teams or Guest Designer spots because they are so much fun. If only I didn't have to work!

Happy Crafting!

~ Like For Ever Guest Designer - Registan Square ~

Wow, what a busy October I am having so far! I'm back again over on the Like For Ever Blog this time with a mixed media 9x12 layout.

I used the free cut file to create my own stencil for misting and texture paste. There is a process video on the Like For Ever Blog where you can see how I get on using it.

This is a short but sweet post today as I am short on time. Keep a look out as I will be back soon with an off the page project for my final Guest Designer submission.

Happy Crafting!

~ Holiday Reading ~

We are currently planning our travels for next year and its made me think about our trips over the last couple of years. I haven't shared this page on my blog yet as I'm not overly happy with the photos I took of it. The white background looks almost blue in the photos.

Any suggestions of destinations for our trips? Where have you been that you have loved! There are so many ideas floating around - Burma, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Madagascar, Morocco, Darjeeling - India!!!

This photo is of my fiancé having a well earned rest at the end of our South India tour in January 2015. He isn't one to read normally so it is worthy of scrapping when he does.

I love adding splatters of brightly colourful mist on a white background. Adding in subtle elements for embellishment to try and create subtle decoration. Lots of layers of pattered paper clustered under the 6x4 photo.

Happy Crafting!

~ Adventure Awaits - Uzbekistan ~

It's a bit of a dreary day here in my part of the UK. I'm feeling a little lazy today so I'm snuggled up on the sofa at midday in my pyjamas drinking tea and updating my blog (heaven!). I'm also dreaming of our next trip as I look at the photos from my latest travels.

This layout is a scraplift from the lovely talented Emma (@pollyspapercrafts) who is also a subscriber to the Like For Ever kits. She posted a photo of a similar layout on our kit subscribers facebook group and I immediately saved a screen shot for inspiration later. I even took the photo from the aeroplane window specifically to make this layout. The cut file was from the ?August Like For Ever kit (I think!)

This page has become the title page for my 9x12 Uzbekistan travel album which is slowly staring to take shape. I'm using a lot of the American Crafts Shimelle 'Go Now Go' collection in this album along with some Like For Ever kits to mix it all up a bit.

Happy Crafting!

~ Snap Happy ~

Hi there, so I'm trying to catch up with some of my travel albums as I am so behind! These photos are from my trip to Cambodia in 2012.

I created this layout using Basic Grey 'Typeset' collection and some Ali Edwards stamps from the 'Wild' Story Stamp. Using a 7x5 black and white photo means it stands out well from the busy background.

Lots of small areas of layers and clusters of embellishments.

With a sprinkling of Gold Heidi Shine mist to add a little extra bling and texture.

Happy Crafting!

~ Photo Love ~

This layout was featured on the Like For Ever Blog in August for Throwback Thursday and I completely forgot to put it up on my blog. I took this photo of my Dad whilst doing Ali Edward's Week in the Life. He always has his camera on his belt, ready to take that perfect snap.

I used some older Shimelle 'True Stories' collection papers for my layout. I absolutely loved all these papers. This was one of my first kits from Like For Ever and it was full of the most gorgeous stash!

Using Stazon black ink I stamped one of Ali Edward's beautiful script words to use as part of my title.

I cut out some of the patterned paper to use as embellishments on the page. As some of you may be aware, I do love a bit of fussy cutting although these weren't particularly difficult.

Life has been a little crazy recently. Lots of exciting things are happening including lots of trip planning for a milestone birthday next year!

Happy Crafting!
