Once upon a sketch....

Oh so long since I did a scrapbook page and I've so many gorgeous photos to use I must shake myself and get into action.  I love to use sketches when scrapping and always find amazing ones at Once upon a sketch where the layout for this Christmas page is this month's challenge.
My 12" by 12" page was created in Craft Artist using one of the digi kits by Daisytrail.  I've exported it in a low pixel count to put on here as I think it was my scrapbook pages that made Blogger throw a hissy fit and tell me I had run out of storage.  Hope the quality is good enough to view.
Other Challenges...
Have an amazing day everyone.

Happy New Year...

I am so disorganised that one or two or maybe more people didn't get a Christmas card from me yet!!  So I've done a job lot of little New Year cards to hopefully make up for being such a dumpling at delivering cards to some of my neighbours.
The image is a digi that I've had for a long time and used often.  I love it - I think it was by C.C. Designs but I can't find it on their website now so maybe it's been taken out of stock.
Challenges...
Happy New Year everyone.

A favourite thing...

I love making little altered note books especially for my daughter as she uses one all the time at work and I couldn't believe how much she was paying for them at stationery shops.  This one was made especially for her and then I had to do a duplicate for her to pop in a present for a friend as an extra surprise.
These little books are just perfect for using snippets of papers up and you can buy the basic notepad so cheaply too.  Mine were from Poundland and I think I got about 6 in a pack or maybe more.
On the inside front cover I like to add something to personalise the book so in this one I popped in some nursing quotes.

I can't remember who the stamp is by, but isn't she sweet? 

Challenges...
Have a good day all.

Thank you everyone for such fabulous comments and Mary for reminding me that this stamp is by My Favourite Things.  I've actually found the packet now so the stamp has been returned to it's rightful place.  Such a cutie - bought for making Nurse's Day cards as since my daughter qualified she insists on that extra celebration.  Can't blame her - I keep trying for two Mother's Days but it's not worked so far.
