It’s always Autumn in England

Is it wrong to pray to win a competition? I am seriously about to pass out at the possibility of winning this scrapbook storage system:

This is called The Workbox and can be found on The Original Scrapbox website: http://www.theoriginalscrapbox.com/

One of the blogs I read on a regluar basis is running a comptetition to win one: http://lifeaslou.blogsome.com/2009/09/28/who-wants-to-win-a-workbox/

I don’t have time right now to enter the competition in all the ways described, but over the next few days, I will be following up!

Edit: I have entered the comp in several ways now!!
I’m also adding tags for The Original Scrapbox, Scrapbook storage, Workbox.

This Christmas was the first time in many years that me and my 3 siblings were all together for the holidays. We had so much fun hanging out and goofing off. As soon as Angela sent me these pictures, I knew I had to do a layout. This is the first time in almost a year I have sat down and done any scrapbooking. Early in 2008, Evan and I decided to move from England to America, and scrapbooking was one of the first things I stopped doing to start the moving process. It feels good to get back into the creative swing. However, I am sharing this layout even without knowing if I am 100% done with it. So, I might have to go back and play with it some more!

Today is my dad’s 50th Birthday.

I recently finished a project for Scrapbooking which was great fun. A colleague of my sisters was retiring and her office wanted to put together a scrapbook for this lady, Lynne. I have met Lynne on numerous occasions, and thought that it would be fun to do the scrapbook for them, so I volunteered. I only had a couple of weeks to do the project because everyone in the organisation was asked to write a message for Lynne that would be put into the book, so I wanted to make sure they had all arrived before I put the whole thing together.

I know that not everyone will want to see what I created, so I have made a seperate page for all of the LO’s that I did. If you want to see them, feel free to go to this page and see them.

I have been asked to create a scrapbook for a colleague of Angela’s, and I have a deadline to meet. So, if I disapear for a while, it is simply because I am working hard on that!

I also have a meeting with the director of Mercy tomorrow. I hope it is productive. I have lots of ideas!

I did this LO yesterday. The picture was taken on Monday when Evan and I went on our latest adventure. We were attempting to climb Pendle Hill, got completely lost walked up a hill following a trail we realised later was not even on the map. The trail went no-where, we turned around, found our trail, but by this point it was too late to climb the hill and I was exhausted. Needless to say we snapped this picture at the BEGINNING of our hike when I was still smiling!

I often visit ScrapGirls website and get most of my ideas for scrapbooking from this website. Every Monday at 12noon (ET) 5pmGMT they have have a cropping session. They Host of the Crop will suggest a theme, colour or other idea that you design your LO about. Today was to do a Lay Out using only photograph. I turned up 55 minutes late, but decided to give it a go ahead anyway! Here is what I came up with…in 30 minutes!

This is Andre Cole Gutierrez. My cousin Betsy, gave birth in December 2006, to this beutiful little boy after much difficulty in her pregnancy. I can’t wait to meet him!

This is a LO I did this week and thought I would put it up on here, especially for Bill & Jane.

Should have mentioned this before. The paper I used is two shades from Joana Carvalho Designs, called Green Elephant and is from Digital Freebies. The ‘Travel’ and ‘Adventure’ embellishments are from Rhonna Farrer called the May Free {PEA} Kit.

I have not had the chance to scrapbook in a while, but I got a great pack from http://www.digitalfreebies.com/ by Jan Hosford and could not resist putting a LayOut together. 

Here it is.

I have the day off today and I have lots to do, but I thought before I got down to cleaning the house, food shopping and running errands, I would take a little while to do something I enjoy.  Here is the latest LO from my new hobby of digital scrapbooking.
