Sall the Crafty Baker

Hey Everyone, I had this totally wacky idea for a weird take on the  Cards Galore Scrapbook Challenge  and once I'd been told I wasn't too strange I got straight onto it.  I admit a couple problems with the heat embossing but in general I have really enjoyed this challenge.  I have also enjoyed using these photos of John and I acting like 'kids' in the snow.

I struggled with this theme and it's not as twisted as I'd like or hoped but I am happy with the effort I made to embrace something outside my comfort zone.  Please feel free to check the challenge blog there are some total genius crafters there and it's a whole need world of craft you will love.  Check it out at  Smudgy Antics

I was inspired by a post on facebook by  Shelley {check her blog here}  and decided to run with it, she was an absolute star and helped me find my digi stamps from http://www.ikesart.com/  {please please take a look, there are some really amazing images there}. Anyway not much left to be said except I am entering it in this challenge:  Smudgy Antics .

Firstly a  big thank you to RACHEL for the tree photos. Secondly I dont' really like this lo but it's marginally better than my original idea! Thirdly have a nosey at  cards galore scrapbook challenge, these are always fun and interesting! Here's my Autumn entry!

The Cards Galore Scrapbook Challenge them is PATCHWORK  and although this wasn't something that had me jumping for joy whilst I was looking through old photo albums with my Nan I came across lots of photos I wanted to scrap, most are of me and my childhood best friend Angela and some of me and my grandparents or doing activities with my grandparents.  I should WARN YOU AT THIS POINT THAT SOME PHOTOS MAYBE OFFENSIVE. As a child my Grandad and his friends went rabbiting and from a young age I learnt to skin and portion a rabbit.  This is one of my favourite photos as my childhood favourite food was rabbit stew. Whilst at my Nan's I was putting things away and realised that on my bed there I had a bedspread that was my Great Nan's and it's a patchwork bedspread, this gave me the idea for this LO. I have to say I then spent several days sketching out a too scale sketch of how I wanted this to look.  I felt that sewing had to feature because of the patchwork but thr...

I wanted to do something a little different from the normal scrapbooking album.  My visit to Living Coasts was overshadowed by the lack of facts about the animals there so I have chosen to ask the question is this coastal zoo entertainment or educational?  Throughout my album I posed the questions I wanted to know about the animals and their environments and then summarised in my journaling if I had found any answers to these questions at the zoo and therefore if the zoo is educational or entertainment. Sadly non of my questions were answered at the zoo, there were no or poor information signs and the staff were nowhere to be seen.
