Hi Everyone,

For those of you who follow me regularly you will be aware that last year my darling hubby and I renewed our wedding vows... We did this to reaffirm our committment to each other in front of friends  (old and new) and family...... Despite some of the rough times we've had, we love each other more than ever. So this was a wonderful romantic adventure for us.... and best of all .... this time he sang to me! At our first wedding his sister serenaded us but this time he sang to me as I walked down the isle to him flanked by our beautiful children. Imagine it girls, as I walked down the isle he sang "I think I loved you before I met you" (Savage Garden). (Yes I cried).  

Well we got some gorgeous family photos from that event. Everyone is dressed up and colour co-ordinated. So rather than just do a scrapbook page of this day I decided to do a canvas for our wall. I really liked the finished product (which is all that counts after all as I have to look at it everyday on my wall) but if you want to view it you will need to go to the June edition of Scrap'n'art magazine and check out the reader submissions. http://scrapnart.com/issue/june-2012/article/june-bride-reader-submissions to see what I did with it. (Hint: I used papers from the Bo Bunny Home Sweet Home Collection).  Although our wedding and subsequent vow renewal doesn't occur in June..... as that is a Summer Wedding for the Northern Hemisphere I thought our June Wedding (February) fit the bill nicely..... and so did they.

Hi Everyone, Well if you've made it this far you know I'm the last blog for you to hop to.... I am the owner of Kith and Kin Stamp Co and I am so grateful to those of you who have played along. Alyce's colour along's are always so informative and full of great info I know you will have learnt lots. We feel very honoured that she has chosen one of our stamps. I love colouring and really only got interested in using copics after I saw Alyce's lovely colouring.... that then got me started on creating my own stamps so I could decide the images I wanted to colour. My colouring is of me... Kyra Mermaid which you can buy in my facebook store  https://www.facebook.com/kithandkinstampco/app_150178545006427 . For the next week I'm going to have some extra surprises and specials for those of you who are keeping an eye on my Facebook Page.

Ever sit down to scrapbook and you’re faced with this?

   ...." I don't have a CLUE about what to do next...an embellishment? Journaling? Arghhhh!" That's the little voice in your head by the way - lol. ...and don't worry - you're not alone. We've all got one. Without a doubt, the toughest part of scrapbooking is coming up with new ideas .... ...And when the ideas dry up, so does the motivation...  ...But don't let a lack of ideas stop you from PRESERVING your memories.... ...Because behind each photo, there's a STORY... ...A story that needs to be told...  ...So people aren't forgotten and those special occasions will always be REMEMBERED ...  ...So if you get stuck for new ideas, I want to help re-ignite your creative spark, so you can: •    Make SERIOUS progress on that pile of photos you've been meaning to turn into pages.... •    Get more CREATIVE than ever before...and produce layouts that looks like art. ... •    Create pag

50 Ideas to Get Organized and Enjoy Your Scrapbooking Hobby

Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby! Besides being relaxing and fun, it also allows you to be creative and to spend quality time with your family and friends. Plus, it results in a storybook of lifelong memories. One very important element of scrapbooking is getting it all organized. This includes, but is not limited to: storing all of your supplies in an organized fashion so they can be found instantly when you need them. remembering what supplies to pick up at the store, and eliminating duplicate purchases. finding time to research new and creative ways to spruce up your scrapbooks. finding enough time to enjoy the art of scrapbooking in your busy life. TELL A STORY. Plan your photos, before you shoot. Instead of taking random shots of someone standing here, or someone else sitting there, tell a story. For example, let's say it's Halloween. You may plan on taking four photos of your child: on the hayride taking him/her to the pumpkin field.
