About Me

My photo
Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom
I have been crafting since May 2008, when in desperation to find an unusual birthday card for my Mum, I gave up looking in the shops and decided to have a go at making my own. I soon realised that crafting is addictive and I haven't brought a card since. In 2011 I completed my certificate in papercrafting as a result of the work I did as part of the course I started entering challenges on line and in magazines. I applied for design teams and also started making samples for Ooh La La Creations for their shows on Create and Craft. I have now completed my Diploma in professional crafting and most recently been runner up in the Papercrafter of the Year 2013 a competition run by Papercraft essentials magazine, I don't have a particular style I like to use elements from lots of styles and techniques, although I do love all things vintage. In 2014 I started to move more towards scrapbooking to take care of the huge family archive of photographs that were stored in my attic. I have continued cardmaking and Scrapbooking through 2015 and 2016 but have also become interested in off the page projects. I hope to be able focus on these in the future.

Scenic Inspiration at Ooh La La Creations

Thank you everyone who entered our vintage challenge last time there were some gorgeous entries and you can find out if you are our winner on the Ooh La La Creations Challenge Blog. This time our theme is .....
Scenic

I have always loved taking landscape photographs and amongst my favourites are some I took at Tintagel in Cornwall on the very first holiday myself and my husband went on together in 1990.


I kept the layout simple as I wanted to ensure the photographs were the main focus of the page. I used a seagull backing paper from the Kidiwinks CD and the image of crashing waves is from the Dreams of Tranquility CD I repeated this image from the Goddess of the tides folder to make the Journalling card. I finished off with some chevrons and arrows cut from papers from the same folder and added 3 pearls to finish.
