mountain snow skiing scrapbooking

Some more of the days creations, using up some old preprinted photos.....  On the third one, the snowy village scene was made on the cricut design studio, to merge all of the images together into one strip (for the shadow backing) then simply layered.... so easy to use up scraps too by placing the right size and different colored scraps in the right place and cutting all at once...

Black water rafting scrapbook page

Here is another of yesterdays creations, seemed a great time to start scrapping as new years day! This was back in the 90's when my flatmate and best friend, Martyn and I went blackwater reafting atthe waitomo caves. At the time his brother owned the caves so we got an extra special trip, absailed sown a 30foot hole into the ground (very small from memory), checked out the glowworms, did some tubing after jumping off a cliff! saw horid cave wetters and even got an eel in my gumboot! We even had to climb up over a massive and very strong waterfall, I remeber the relief when I finally made it back out of the ground....

Christmas scrapbooking page

After a busy time before, during and shortly after Christmas, I finally made time tomake a scrapbooking page. Itwas fun and I used my new cricut machine too.... Also followed a page map layout... rather simple but I'm sure I will get better the more I do!

Scrapbook page - A4 Lake

After a lovely walk through Pukekura park early evening, I felt inspired to make a scrapbook page tonight.
This is a photo I took at Lake Mangamahoe last year. I used a Becky Fleck Page Map from my new book which has certainly helped with my layout...The layout is A4 and the first time I have tried an A4 layout.

Scrapbook page - page maps - Tigers

It's been a while since I made any cards as we had a lovely long weekend which was full of daylight and sunshine. It's been a long time coming so I had to get outside and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.
I finally got around to making a scrapbook page tonight, based on a page map from my new Becky Fleck Page Maps book.... I took these photo's a few months ago and have decorated the page using my new cuttlebug alphabet, Hippie Chick, the blossoms from boho blossoms punch, SU dsp, the heart from the SU level one punch potpurri stampset, nestabilites for journaling with dotted lines stamp from SU Live your dreams set.

Scrapbook page maps -Becky Fleck

How exciting, I got home from work to find my books had arrived from the US (amazon.com). They only took 16 days to arrive although for standard delivery they said they would arrive by about 10th November! Unfortunately the postage from US to NZ can be expensive so I went for the cheapest option however arrived in great time. I couldn't find the books in NZ and when I did it would cost over $100....

So all up I got these two fabulous books for just under $70 NZ. Scrapbook Page Maps and Scrapbook Page Maps 2, by Becky Fleck. (She has done a great job on these books)

They are so cool, not only are they packed with layouts (page maps) but also many completed pages using the layouts. And they come with cards you pop out with the page map on one side and the finished sample on the other.

They have 12x12, A4 horizontal, A4 vertical, 12x12 double pages, A4 double pages and a few card layouts too! The layouts use anything from 1 to 10 photos in a page map and for all the different sized sketches. One of the best things I like about these page maps is they have the size of the photos to use, how easy is that!

There are about 60 page maps (cards) in each book. The first ones don't have a ring or hole but come with a box to store them in and the second comes with holes ready to put onto a ring, a much better idea so you can take them wherever you go, even when shopping for supplies! I put holes in the first lot and added a ring as preferred this to a box... easy to flick through.....

Now I just need sometime to start my scrap booking, luckily we have a long weekend on its way!
