A quick catch up...

Hi there, 

Just popping in for a quick catch up! 

2013 has been pretty busy already and I can't believe that it's nearly April already! 

I started a new job role in at the beginning of the year to fit into the school times as Jack started school in January... scary times, but he has settled in well. 

I have still been scrapping! In January I created this layout for Scrapology as their guest designer...

I'm still designing for the scrapbook magazine. I've had layouts in the last few Issues and here is a sneak peak of what will be coming up in the next issue (72)...

My latest favorite toy is my new Canon Selphy Printer. They are fantastic for printing various sized pictures at home...

Welcome to my blog, my name is Anna and if you have arrived here from the Papermaze blog hop, then this is your last stop before going back to Papermaze's blog again. You should have arrived to me from Lou's blog here. If you haven't arrived here from the blog hop, then why not join in? It all starts here: http://scrappaperscissors.blogspot.co.uk

I have a layout to show you today which I hope will give you some Christmas inspiration. 

I created this layout using mostly the contents of the December kit and a few extra letter stickers. This is a different sort of layout for me, using 9 pictures. But I really wanted to create a layout documenting 'Jack's Xmas' for his album.

Carta Bella Feature...

In the latest issue of the scrapbook magazine (68) you can find my Carta Bella article. I was sent the 'Paris Girl' and the 'Beautiful Moments' collection packs to work with and I needed to create 3 layouts, here they are...

Thanks for looking.

A Proud Moment...

As some of you may know I joined the design team for the scrapbook magazine in March this year. The first feature that you appear in is the 'introducing..' pages. For this you chose a few of your favorite layouts to appear in the article. 

Anyway, I went out shopping with my Mum one day and we went into WHSmiths. I was so happy to see one of my layouts on the front cover! So we made use of our phone cameras and took a few pictures! Several passes by wondered what we were doing, but my Mum (also a scrapper) took great pride in telling people! 

So when it came to my first commission for issue 66 of the scrapbook magazine I knew exactly which photos I wanted to use. So I based this layout on my 'proud moment'. 

I had recently brought some 'SMASH tabs', which I knew I wanted to try out on a layout. It was a great way to add extra photos and journalling to the page. 

 Under the Tab

You can read more about this layout in the current issue of The Scrapbook Magazine (issue 66) in the Activity Pack section. 

I also have another layout in the current issue, which I shall share with you here soon!

Thanks for reading x

Disneyland Paris...

Wow, what a holiday, we are all absolutely knackered but it was amazing. I wanted to pop in and share some photos with you, I can't wait wait to go get get all of my pictures printed and start a Disney album!

I haven't posted here for a while, I've just got out of the habit of doing it I guess. But since I've last been here I have been away on another scrap weekend, started designing for the scrapbook magazine and just come back from Disneyland, lots to share, watch this space.... 

Thanks for stopping by!

Sarah's Cards March Guest DT

I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to join the Sarah's Cards Design Team. I got to work with their March kit and it was a pleasure to work with - their kits are really lovely!

You can see or buy the full kit contents here

 Here are the 3 layouts (and a frame too!) that I created with the kit...

I still had lots of scraps left after I'd finished the 3 layouts, I especially had a lot of stickers left over. So I decided to punch some circles out of my scrap bits of patterned paper and added some of the stickers. 

Thanks so much for having me Sarah's Cards! 

Thank you for looking x Anna x
