Here is my completed April page for the Album class we are doing at Scrap Angels -
The brown flap on the left opens up to reveal more pictures.
This month I have used pictures of Newquay's lovely beaches and stunning coastline.
Newquay gets such bad press sometimes for the behaviour of the "party" crowd it attracts - that the physical beauty of the area often gets overlooked!!
There's also a hidden journalling tag which details which beach is which - but I've forgotten to photograph it !!! so I'll add it later :)

Yikes - I've been asked to be this month's guest designer on CCW -
how thrilled am I

Thank you everyone at CCW XX
Here is this weeks LO
The theme this week is "birds".
I chose to scrap some pictures I took when on an outing with the kids recently,
of the flamingos at Paradise Park, Hayle
The PP is Prima, I misted over a TH flourish mask and the little birdie in the top right I made myself!!

This is my scrapbook page I did for the Royal Wedding celebration on 29th April 2011 which also happened to be MY BIRTHDAY!! YAY!!
We had a lovely day scrapping, watching the wedding on a big screen and eating lots of cake. Kerry from Scrap Angels provided us with a super lunch and a wonderful location (her mum's house!!)
The papers I used were from Shabby Green door (Farmers Market collection) - I had trouble finding a paper that was suitable for the wedding but red/white or blue/white
and I found these cute little hearts at a florists stall in our local market :)
This week's challenge was, just that, quite a challenge ~
we were asked to demonstrate new techniques we had learned in the past 3 months (
OK so that bit wasn't so bad as a lot of my stuff is that new -
I just made a list of things I needed to add to the LO -
die cutting, heat embossing, using a mask (
on the paper not on my face!!!)
but then we also had to include something secret and a recipe or instruction !!
So this is my result .......
and actually I'm quite pleased with how it turned out :)
This week's Creative Craft World Scrap Map Saturday challenge theme is "Family". I chose a picture of the 3 boys with their cousins (my brother's kids) taken one Christmas about 10 years ago :D
I have used Bo Bunny Mama Razzi paper again because I really love the colours. I inked and glossy accented the flowers because they were the wrong colour (and I sneaked a little ring-pull in there at the top :D )The "S"s in the title are inked in silver then heat embossed.
This picture was taken in Jersey (UK) in 1961. I don't remember this holiday and I'm not sure that I was enjoying this merry-go-round ride - I wasn't smiling in any of the photos!! I'm the one on the bike right in the centre of the photo (no idea who the other child is!!)
For this LO I used a sketch from PageMaps and actually didn't change it very much :)
I used an assortment of pp's ~ Crate paper mainly and the light blue mat is Fancy Pants )like father like son)
This is the LO I created for this week's scrap map Saturday challenge ~
The photo is of my school friends at Sue and Brian's wedding at The Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire in 2007 (?) L to R Jan, Helen, Sue (bride) Elaine, Susan and me.
It was a gorgeous wedding in beautiful surroundings!
