Here

Here is the cover for my latest Scrapbook it is the new class from Shimele Laine and Two Peas in a Bucket.

 

You start by taking photos of where you live to a series of prompts then you journal and finally you scrap when you have the “Here” sorted.

 Then you work on the “There” the place you have been away from Home.  

 

Finally you work on the ”Everywhere”  this is the places you would like to go, it runs over 6 weeks with a fortnight for each part I have just got the last prompt fro Here, today.

 

Local place’s of interest

The “Here” also cover your routes to work, school and other regular places you visit, in your day to day life.

 

 

 

As most of my route to work is on Motorways I used some aerial photographs taken by my DH from a helicopter outing over Bristol they show our home the motorways around Bristol and where I work,

 

 

I travel 130 miles to work in a week but only 364 mile in 4 weeks this is due to the shift pattern I work.

 

This page is how I would like to travel back in time and see Brislington as it was before my house was built in 1904.

Bristol Blue Glass a souvenir of Brislington.

When I was an SLA analyst for Orange,  I was taken for a day out with my family by one of our suppliers to the London Eye, a Frog tour down the Thames and then dinner at Planet Hollywood.  We all had a great time .

Mini Book in a Tin

 

I made this mini book in a tin for my DD2 to cheer her up after she wrote her car off, She was just a little sore but the car was a sorry sight,

 

I used K & Co Papers in shades of Blue and as the Dragonfly and Waterlilies were the theme for her wedding  it was perfect.

My Craft Room

Until May I would craft at the dinning table clearing away for meals.

When DS and Fiancée  moved to a home of their own

The furniture was from Ikea there are Billy Bookcase an Expidite at Ceiling Height a drawer unit with narrow drawers where I keep my 12 x 12 Paper the room also has 2 double and a single Ikea wardrobe and a day bed that converts to a double,

 

My desk area is made from Ikea wood edged worktop  green with mistletoe and a bespoke unit with my cricut that DH made for me.

 

The Curtains were also Ikea but several years ago.

JYC Is a course  run by Designer Shimelle Laine that will get you back in touch with the important thing about Christmas, This year was the first time I did  JYC and the first time I scrapped to someone else’s prompts.

   

 

There is a prompt for each day in December and one for the Twelve Days of Christmas making a total of 39 pages I have displayed them as collages  to try and not bore you.

House Book

Bitten by the BIA bug I  was looking for another project, a collague at work who is from Benin asked me what my house was like and here is the book of my House,

I did a page for each room and a page of text telling the stories from the 35 years we have lived there.

 

 

The Peacock feathers are featured in the curtains in the Lounge.

Arthur Silver  designed the famous Liberty ‘Peacock Feather’ fabric in 1887 which is still produced today and is one of the enduring images of art nouveau.

 A little early for the house that is Edwardian 1904.
