Bathtime scrapbooking page

Here is tonight's scrap creation, only in 1974 could you put three kids in a bath together and it be okay!

The bubbles are icons from Cricut a child's year cartridge, also the child in the tub with rubba ducky. The tag and tag frame are from Mickey Mouse cartridge. The base paper from the warehouse (Bulk pack - the pattern kinda matched the wallpaper in the photo), striped paper and cardstock stampin up: Night of Navy, Soft Suede, Sahara sand.

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....

Bow maker






I know I should have bought this little gadget before christmas so I could have made bows for the presents but I had read some reviews and they were not good... It put me off but I ended up buyingit anyway. Yes it is really just a stapler but also designed to help hold your bows in place which is really the point of it, the only limit is you imagination! Here are some bows I have made while trying it out, It's a great way to use up your ribbon scraps!

orgainsing my cricut creations.....storage

Since getting this cricut expression machine, I have being playing around with it so much. I have not yet made a scrapbook page but have many creations. I decided I needing some way of storing them so I know what I have already made and thought If I got some blutac I could put them up inside my craft cabinet. It worked a treat and now I can see things ready to add to a card or scrap page.....
