Scrapbooking Contest Entry

I do like to view scrapbooking and craft videos on YouTube and recently discovered the talents of mercytiara who shows the process she goes through to produce the most outstanding layouts in a fun and interesting way.  I actually found her video channel through a link from another blog (sorry can't remember which) showing the great idea of how to use QR codes on your scrapbooks.  Feeling curious?  Then look here to find out what I mean.  Genius!

Anyway currently she has a challenge to upload something that celebrates scrapbooking and mine just had to be a tribute to the many lovely friends I have made through my hobby.  These particular photos include some of us on the annual exodus to Eastbourne to scrap, chat and be a bit lot silly.  As my journalling says, I don't know what I would do without my lovely craft friends - those present in the pictures and those who weren't there too of course!!!

I hope you like my layout and thank you for looking.

(That's me with the silly green headgear!)

    1. Lol our friend Gaye, who organises the retreat each year, always has a theme and decorates the crop room beautifully and creates challenges and treats in keeping with it. The deal is we have to dress up for dinner on the Saturday night and attend the pre-dinner drinks photo party! Previous years have included PJ party, anything purple, 1950s and this year the theme is cowboys so watch this space...... They are used to us at the hotel now!

  6. Hello fellow Sandra!,

    Thanks for popping by my blog the other day (actually last week I think, I've gotten a bit behind!) and for your lovely comment on my flower scarf. I do hope you do manage to try out some flowers of your own, they are lovely to make and some things are just meant to be...!

    Love your scrap booking pages, very pretty.

    Sandra x
