Old Skool Stash Layout

As part of the Liberty Cottage 'Old Skool Stash' challenge I have created the following layout.

The purple backing paper is my Old Skool stash. It was part of the very first scrapping stash I bought!! I don't know why I haven't used it before as I really do like the paper! I love the butterfly embellishment too. It came from the inside of a Lush bath bomb!!!!

 Now I've used it I feel a little blue, feeling that I maybe could have done a little more to show off such beautiful paper. Ah well, I guess thats an excuse to go out and buy more stash ;0)

The first challenge for the BY 2010 project was to use the sketch below in one of your pages:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I am really happy with this page! Hope you all like it :0)

One is NOT amused!

Sometimes a kitty just wants to be left alone!! But its so tough to do that when she is so adorable!! Considering how many Saffy photos I take, I find it shocking that I have only ever scrapped two of them! Prepare for lots of Saffy pages in the future me thinks ;0)

52 in 10 Week 4

This weeks prompt from Dolly over at Dolly's Dreamings was to scrap about music.  I decided to focus on my friend's covers band.  They have asked me to be involved in managing the band this year which is a very exciting (if somewhat baffling!!) project.
Here is my page using Shimelle's 'Welcome' template and MRD kit 'Playtime'.  Both available to buy from Two Peas.

Advice from digi scrappers appreciated...

I only started digi scrapping this year and am really enjoying it.  I am slowly aquiring some lovely digi papers and embellishments and so far have just saved them on my computer in the collections they are purchased in.
I read through the AMAZINGLY useful tutorial from Ali on her blog and she suggests storing them on the computer in type rather than collection (ie all the cardstocks together, papers together, tags etc) and maybe keeping a collection or two together (ie Christmas, Valentines day...)
Can I ask how other digi scrappers out there store their files? I like being organised when I work in any format and its driving me a little crazy!! I thought it would be better to get this issue resolved before I buy too much digi stuff ;0)

52 in 10 - Prompt 3

I'm a week behind, but will have caught up by tomorrow!! Here is last week's page for my digi version of Dolly's 52 in 10:

30/1/10 I just had to edit this by adding in a Little Musing from SJ's blog here.

New shoes...

Have you ever had one of those shopping moments, when you spy something across the shop and instantly fall head over heels for some inanimate object that (truly) you can live without but at that moment can't imagine life without?!?!
That was how I felt when I spotted these AMAZING shoes:

The trouble is, I just can't walk in them yet...at all...oh dear!
