Member Spotlight
Please welcome Krystyna Henderson featuring as this month's Member to be in the spotlight.
I'm a stay-at-home Mum of four girls aged between 9 and 15, so life is pretty hectic most of the time. My relaxation has always been crafts of one sort or another but earlier this year I discovered scrapping. It seemed like a great way to showcase some of the huge pile of photos I've taken over the years that are mostly stacked away in boxes on the bookcase.
I found the ScrapaGoGo kits only a month or so after I started scrapping. I had absolutely no stash and no idea where to start buying pretty things that would go together to make my pages. Getting a kit was the answer to all my ..... Read MoreWritten by Lorraine Ablett - 24th September 2008
Distressing October
We all have different tastes in our techniques, one technique that I been more interested in lately is distressing. I must admit I always wrongly thought that it was for more antique pictures or more vintage scrapbooking, but after creating this Layout, I realised that distressing can be suitable for more contemporary scapbooking as well. I challenge you to try one or more of the techniques on my LO, they may be ones that you already use but perhaps try 2 techniques together.
In this 1st picture I have distressed a metal embellishment, Firstly I took a piece of sandpaper and scratched on the surface, don’t be afraid to rub hard, if you go too heavy with it you could always distressing even more with a little acrylic paint.

Jenni Bowlin Crepe Paper Ribbon
Love at first sight does exsist!
Jenni Bowlins booth is always a pleasure to visit but this Summer the Bowlin Booth was covering a bigger area, meaning lots of vintage delights and unusal products.
We stumbled upon one of our favourite products but did have a problem deciding which colour to choose as we wanted them all:lol:
In the end it was decided that we didn't want to wait too long to use this product so it had to be something that looked great with October's Kit, so the Turquoise it was then!
The Design Team have already been using the Crepe Paper Ribbon in lots of unusual ways, we love the flowers that Karen Moss has been making...

GoGo Plan-A-Page
We all need a little help in getting organised for a crafting session or ideas to help get those pages scrapped at busy crops. If you lead a hectic life or simply just need a little help to get going then GoGo Plan-A-Page is just for you!
This free down loadable PDF is a great little idea for planning pages
Each planner consists of a list of prompts to help you plan your next layout, sections like papers, embellishments, alphas, ribbon etc and also a box for a sketch and a couple of lines to note essential journaling you may want to include.
Have a GoGo and get some page kits together along with the help of our GoGo Plan-A-Page, go one step further and use up some old stash from past kits - this is great for using up those little bits and pieces you have left over.
Helen has attached an example so you can see just how to use this idea - we love the end result of Helen's well thought out plan!..... Read More
