I've been busy creating christmas Cards for my special friends. I'm having fun using up all the red/green/white/silver scraps.Everymoment matters is having a competition to display one a week.
I need to get some more baskets or containers for my new scrap cupboard to help keep it tidy.

The old recipe
Today I'm scrapping a very old recipe from a great aunt featuring 24lbs of tomatoes. My goodness they certainly cooked in huge amounts in the olden days(1915). I'm trying to achieve the faded look in pinks and lilacs.One item I've used is a fabric flower from a birthday cake long gone. I've also used tags.
It is important to preserve these things so future generations can appreciate the differences.
Apparently, there is to be a circle journal from the purplescraps retreat that I will be working on.

October challenge Aussie scrapjacked
I've just done this layout to put on Aussie scrapjacked. Nathan and the boys were having swings on the clothesline rails and were really enjoying themselves. I thought it was a photo moment. It was hard matching colours but I opted for red and gold.Eyelets appealed to me as the trim and I had fun hammering them into place.

Mini albums take time
I've started doing a mini album from the retreat.It is a concertina one that I actually put together there. Now I'm using heaps of purple embellishments and paper scraps that I have accumulated over 5 years. It is fun but very time consuming. I plan to do it in sequential order as things happened over the weekend.
At the same time I have joined a new site everymomentmatters where I have noticed some great layouts and lots of topical discussions.
