Receiving Loud and Clear

Phew! I'm back on line, Bye Bye to the rude customer services at Talk Talk and hello BT Total Broadband. Talk Talk even had the cheek to call and ask me why I was moving. It took all of my will power to not say well you try crawling round on the floor and running up and down stairs repeating mindless tests , all only 14 days after having your stomach cut open and bits removed. While a young man tells you to shut up repeating that they had promised normal service after 24 hours. He being the one that kept repeating that he wanted me to go and knock on a neighbours door to see if they would let me test my equipment on their computer????? How much time did I want to reconsider, ooh it took me only one second! I now have lovely normal service and not only that BT's equipment is all modern and shiny, I like.
Well I haven't been idle in my absence, I have done a bit of crafting so I'll post my efforts over the next few days, I'm still catching up with the backlog off being in the Internet wilderness so I'll also drip feed the goings on of the last few weeks along with my piccies.

This is a page for my brother, he recently took the boys to Scarborough for the weekend. I used up loads of summer themed paper scraps and ribbon scraps and copied the layout of a page that we made when I recently went to the Inspired Retreat in Chester. Emma Trout was the fabulous teacher and I knew this would be a layout I would repeat often with different themed papers.
It's good to be back!

This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued

Vine Tutorial

On Monday morning I took part in the UKScrappers blog hop , who would have predicted the response to the flowers I had made for the layout. In particular the rose vine. I was flabbergasted, but promised I would let everybody know how I had done it. If anybody does make one of these vines please could you credit me and if posted in a blog I would appreciate a link back to me. I was absolutely inspired by the gorgeous Prima vines , I have purchased many but due to the cost they remain in my stash, I am too frightened to use them because they are not cheap. They fall into the category of  'waiting for a special projrect'. This made me challenge myself to see if i could make something similar.  Firstly you will need to gather your supplies Florist wires florist paper tape paper flowers - they need to have a 'tail' on them, I used these card stock to make leaves either a leaf punch or die to cut leaves, I used these distress ink   Cut as many leaves as you
