The Lion King

So, the main part of my birthday treat was to see The Lion King. OMG - it was fantastic.

I'm a HUGE fan of musicals on both stage and screen but this was the best I've seen. The simplicity of the way the animals were portrayed and the minimal set actually added to the overall feeling. I absolutely loved it.

Natural History Museum

As the post title says, this page is about the time we spent at the Natural History Museum. I'm so sad ... I love museums!! We spent hours and hours here. I absolutley loved it as I'd never been before.

These are American Crafts papers and I played with one of my new Martha Stewart punches too.

what a view

This was the view looking out from the National Gallery.
Not much to it but I really like it.
Do you? - be honest now!!!

Next birthday page

So ... (deep breath Ally) ... this is the first of my 'new' pages. I struggled because I had so many photos I wanted to put on the same page, but I really like it.
Hmmm... maybe I'll give this scrapbooking lark another go!
So Alana ... are you going to help me spend my money (what little I have) at Stamperama? - Looking forward to it!

Let me know what you think of my page.

birthday scrapbook page 2

Well I've eventually got around to posting the second page of my birthday scrapbook. It has taken me a while to post it as it has been so dark lately that I haven't had good enough light to photograph it.

So...this is the page I made which stopped me doing any more. I think it was too orange. I looked at it, liked it, looked at, hated it and then decided that scrapping wasn't for me.

What do you think?

I have made a couple more pages now, so I'll post them as we go on.

Oops

First of all, I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone on here and UKS who have given me such positive feedback about my first scrapbook page. Thank you so much for taking the time to look and make a comment. It really does help!

Now ... apology time. I said yesterday that I would post page 2 today. Being the dope that I am, I went and left my camera at school so I'll try again tomorrow.

Maybe I'll make another page of my birthday book now!!

First scrpabook page!

Now... last year was my 40th birthday and Simon took me for a wonderful London break. I kept all the bits and pieces with the intention of scrapping them.
But I have never scrapped before!
So...this is the very first page of my birthday book. I did this page about a month after I got back, followed by the second page and promptly stopped thinking that I really lacked creativity and that scrapping was not for me.
1 year on and I've decided to give it another go and embarrass myself as well. My thinking is that I will share my attempts at scrapping and then see what you have to say!
Go easy on me becuase I've only completed 4 pages in my scrapping career. I'll post page 2 tomorrow.
The big question is ... am I a scrapper?
