I thought and thought about what sort of birthday card to make for him, and came up with this idea:<br />

It was simple to do, searching for the icon images was a bit time consuming but importing them into my <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Silhouette</span></a> and then using the print and cut function made it super easy. <br />
<br />
Hope he likes it!<br />

Of course, we did so much more and explored every little bit of the island, going from top to bottom, mostly travelling by local bus but also doing a whole lot of walking - and believe me, you need to be fit! <br />
<br />
As most of my travel journal was already prepared, I just spent a little bit of time every couple of days (while relaxing on the sun beds around our pool - such a chore :)) writing up the journalling and sticking in the leaflets, tickets, etc that we had collected on our trips out.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few pages to give a brief overview of how it looks once finished - it's way too big really, too big to go through the Bind it All, as I thought it would be. Not to worry, it's Ok in the rings and the pages turn over ok. <br />
<br />
When winter draws on and it's cold, dark and bleak outside, I've got a lovely reminder of summer to brighten my day.<br />

I've been prepping my travel journal ready for the holiday, so all I have to do is take it with me and fill in the journalling and pop into the pockets all the memorabilia that we collect along the way: all those special little tickets, leaflets, etc.<br />
<br />
I've got a bit carried way - and prepared far too many pages. So much so, that I am pretty sure it won't fit into the bind-it-all bindings, not even the biggest size. I will have to work out that little problem when we get back - anyone got any suggestions? For the holiday I shall just keep it in the rings - that will make it a lot easier for me to move around the pages most relevant to that day's activities. So, here it is:<br />

I've been wanting to have a go at distressed photo frames for ages so took this opportunity and have made a tutorial also for those of you wanting to have a go but not too sure how to go about it. It's really easy and very effective - go on, get out those paints, sandpaper and any old frame you have lying about.<br />

When I get the chance I'll post some photos of recent projects but in the meantime my friend Sue and I went along to <a href="http://www.beeingcrafty.co.uk/workshops.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Bee Crafty</span></a> and attended a workshop making a wonderful Wall Hanging quilt. We were rather apprehensive as neither of us considered ourselves very capable and felt we might be out of our depth, but we needn't have worried, Sarah was very patient and encouraging. We managed to get as far as bonding the hearts in the centre of the quilt, leaving us to sew around the edges at home. It's taken me most of the weekend to sew the edges and there is still a lot more to do, and we may (definitely) need some help to finish them off. Really pleased with it so far, and now looking at it, I think this may well go very nicely in my bedroom. I was thinking of hanging it in my craft room - I'll have to wait and see once it's finished.<br />

I think that's about it for this year. I've used the Silhouette to make these cards, they're really simple but very effective, I think.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here's Steve, putting up the Merry Christmas bunting, again cut out on my silhouette.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm about ready now, just a couple more presents to buy, maybe, and just a little bit more wrapping presents up. I've got a Secret Santa party tomorrow which should be good fun.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been a bit more organised this week not only with posting in What's on your Workdesk, Wednesday, but also lots of Christmas cards - with the help of MaryAnne. MaryAnne has very kindly shared some Christmas printables which you can find <a href="http://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/christmas-stuff/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">here</span></a>. I've made some Father Christmas belt cards in the past and I absolutely love the simple but effective design of them - they are super quick to make and look wonderful. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So, what else is on my desk - a very disgusting Silhouette cutting mat! I've cleaned it and resprayed it several times and it will keep me going for a bit longer. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On to the Christmas bunting - these are presents for my daughter to give to her boss at work and a friend - I love paper bunting and have more to show in a minute... I've even altered an envelope to match the bunting.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I got my sewing machine out and did a bit of stitching - although I did have a problem when I had used double-sided tape as my needle kept getting stuck! Note to self - use glue next time!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, on to my next project - this heart bunting. It's a present for a friend who I have got in our Secret Santa - I've just hung it here for the photo. I cut the hearts on my silhouette, alternating scalloped with plain. I then debated on how to hang the hearts off the string and ended up just cutting a little strip and making it into a tab and threading the string through - I think it works :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's my four projects - I have started another one, it's a tin that I have covered in matching paper for the heart bunting to go in. I would post a picture but seem to be having a problem with blogger. Perhaps another day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, as I said, it was a good day :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Go <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">here</span></a> and find out more! I joined in with this at the start of the year with the intention of posting every week - 10 months later and this is only my second post - where does the time go!! Every week I intend to do it, but then before I know it, Wednesday has come and gone - although I do manage to get to see several entries even if I don't manage to leave comments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been very busy throughout the year with lots of projects - my main one at the moment is the altered advent calendar that seemed to be doing the rounds a couple of years ago - that's me, always a couple of years behind! I bought mine from Tesco and it's been sitting around since then. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't find anything to use as door knobs so made some out of Fimo and covered them in glittery stuff for a bit of bling. I can't decide what to use as door numbers yet, either the plain square numbers or I have made some circle numbers and used Glossy Accents to give a raised feel. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There's a couple of other projects going on in the background - some Christmas bunting (finished, yay) and a countdown calendar to my daughter's holiday to Disneyland next year - that's still in the very early days of design....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a great Wednesday every one!</span><br />

I was tempted and bought a couple of stencils and a black and blue sparkle medium.<br />
Next weekend I set about having a play - it wasn't as easy as it looked but I am sure it will get easier with practice. <br />
Last night I eventually got around to making the toppers into cards. The first one I kept simple using black and white.<br />

It takes up most of my spare time! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWAA5FHCkB7U2ISgeA2rPa2QOZpo6SwXqRqDrJ1LQcyA7p_d5rClmRSIyOPTYA_bpD9LLCJnMol9exr2Btf37-csGKsIqYOZsa33ZbHMvHp5WnK03XFRIWnuZ4dE66OiMmfYdCBovZFCz9/s1600/sue+card.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWAA5FHCkB7U2ISgeA2rPa2QOZpo6SwXqRqDrJ1LQcyA7p_d5rClmRSIyOPTYA_bpD9LLCJnMol9exr2Btf37-csGKsIqYOZsa33ZbHMvHp5WnK03XFRIWnuZ4dE66OiMmfYdCBovZFCz9/s320/sue+card.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The card above is made from paper that I got from The Range - we've got one in Peterborough now, yay! I bought a frame from there last week which I've got big ideas for......<br />
<br />
The card was inspired from <a href="http://nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/things_that_really_matter/" target="_blank">Nichol Magouirk</a> - I absolutely love all her designs and when I am particularly pushed for time, she is my first point of call for inspiration.<br />
<br />
This second card is one that was nice and quick to make - my friend received a shop bought card like this for her birthday and I thought how easy it would be to make ...... I'm always stuck when it comes to making cards for men and think this is ideal. I've cut it on my Silhouette and you can see on the second photo that there is a clever idea of using the tag from the present on the insert.<br />
<br />

Been a busy couple of days making some Jubilee Bunting using Papermania's Portobello Road range - it's really nice to work with, quite a thick paper and once stuck onto card is very sturdy. I had thought about using material but I think you'll agree that you have to look very close to see that this is made with paper - a big bonus is that it's much much cheaper! I've used my sewing machine to add that finishing home-made touch and give the impression of material.<br />

I used my Silhouette to cut out the triangle template and the ice-creams. I love making bunting and try to make it special for the occasion. I used magnolia stamps and also Molly Blooms and coloured them in with Copics. <br />
<br />
I have added a little bee on each alternate banner and then used Stickles as a bee trail to link them up. It looked super, sorry I couldn't get a better photograph of it all hanging.<br />
<br />
I have linked this back to <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/honey-bee.html" target="_blank">Paper Issues</a> where there are some amazing projects using bees - go take a look, you'll love what you see.<br />

I have been around, just not posted anything lately. I've been busy making some bunting for my daughter's friend - will post that later. This layout was done at Sir Stampalot in one of the lovely Lisa's classes. I love the background folder by Kaisercraft and all the lovely little embellishments cut on the Cricut. <br />
<br />
I had to search through my old albums to find some photos of my son when he was at school - it made me realise that throughout his 7 years at senior school, we had hardly any photographs of him! My goodness, I can't believe out of all those years we just didn't take any. I know better now, and take my camera with me everywhere :)<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking,<br />

I've also bought ACDSEE photo manager to try and organise my digital scrapbooking and again I am finding this extremely difficult - why is nothing very user friendly? Or may be it's me..... All I want to do is put things into categories and them tag them with words but I just don't seem to be able to do that.<br />
<br />
So, anyway, here's February (well most of it).<br />

I'm not at all accomplished in digital scrapbooking so am taking the "easy" way by using <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/products/digital-project-life.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Becky Higgins</span></a> digital kit - Turquoise Edition available from <a href="http://www.jessicasprague.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=49" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Jessica Sprague</span></a> and just using the odd embellishment. Hopefully throughout the year my skills will develop.....<br />
So, here's January 2012:<br />

The quality of the photo's isn't very good - I'd lowered the resolution to enable upload but think I may need to up it just a bit. <br />

It's been so long ago now that I couldn't remember where all the little bits and pieces were supposed to go. I am sure I took a photo but couldn't find it, so I just did what I could. It feels good to be completing unfinished layouts, yay so good.<br />

I've started my son's album and this is a baby layout. The baby Template is from the Silhouette store (designer Alaa'K) - it was a bit of a challenge to cut it out as it's 12 x 12 grid and I don't have a CAMEO - yet :) So, I cut it out in two parts and then stuck them together. I have filled the squares with images from the Silhouette store. The stork is K1 memories, Baby Boy from Samantha Walker, rattle Lori Whitlock, Hello Sweet Baby Alaa'K, teddy bear Rivka Wilkins.<br />

The finished layout - started circa 2010....I've been waiting to get some better snapshots of me and my daughter together but decided that I'm never going to be totally happy with any of the photos of me so decided not to defer any longer and get on with it. It's a layout based on a design by <a href="http://nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/things_that_really_matter/" target="_blank">Nichol Magourirk</a>. I can't remember what the papers are except they came in a kit with a scrapbook, but I really like the soft pastel colours. That's one less unfinished layout.<br />

So, on to my desk this Wednesday. As you can see it's quite a clear desk this week. Now that I've finished 2011 Project Life (yay!) I've put away the day to day stuff that I had been keeping out ready to ready to hand. Actually, read "put away" to "put in another room, out of sight". I had been dithering about doing Project Life in 2012 simply because it is so time consuming but once I started looking back through my album and simply loving all the memories it brought back, that I've decided to give it another go this year, but I'm going DIGITAL and have downloaded the templates from <a href="http://www.jessicasprague.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=479" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Jessica Sprague</span></a>! Eeek, I'm not very clever on Photoshop Elements and have already come across no end of problems but I won't bore you with the details...<br />
<br />
So, back to my workdesk. I'm determined to finish off all those nearly done layouts so this is one that I started some time ago. It's a layout featuring me and my daughter but I really didn't have any nice photos so put it to one side. Over Christmas I think I managed to get a couple of nice ones so will try and hopefully will be able to do the finishing touches.<br />
<br />
In the top RH corner is another layout - one I had finished but two friends of mine are interested in scrapbooking and are coming round once a week to do an album for their sons and are using my layout as a starting point. I'm really looking forward to getting on with some scrapbooking this year and really will get those unfinished layouts done - watch this space!<br />
<br />
Have a great week crafting,<br />

Another birthday card, same design as before but different colours - I think I like this colour theme better than the red and black, it's a bit softer and suits the person it's intended for.<div>
I've been spending an inordinate amount of time trying to suss something out in Photoshop Elements and I am afraid it is defeating me - I've been on several forums asking for advice but to no avail. I've one more option to try and if that doesn't work I am on the point of giving up - not something I do easily. So, off I go and see if this last attempt works....fingers crossed x</div>

A good afternoon crafting - first of all some really cute thank-you cards for my kids to send to relatives. The ones in the left hand corner are courtesy of <a href="http://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/printable-thank-you-cards/" target="_blank">Mary-Anne</a> and are super cute! They have matching envelopes and are a really sweet size. I have used an image from the <a href="http://silhouetteamerica.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette</a> library designed by Lori Whitlock for the other thank you notes and added the image to make matching envelopes - both cards brilliant for batch-making.</div>

My daughter asked me if I could make her a card for her friend's birthday so I thought, make one card, might as well make two: I was in the mood by now :) Only thing is, I really should listen to the customer brief - she said pink and black but somehow I heard red and black....I made matching envelopes by sticking a bit of the black flourish paper inside the envelope and cut a couple of strips of scalloped card for the outside edge, it makes a difference I think to have the envelope to match. <br />

Thanks for stopping by,<br />

<br />
Not a lot really. Still got my Project Life album to finish - I've been working on Christmas week and then it's the last week in December and a little bit of titivating and then it's DONE, hurrah! I've loved doing it and really love looking back over the year but it has been VERY time consuming. I'm so looking forward to doing lots more different projects this year and squeezing in some scrapbooking. Talking of which, you can see a little book that a friend of mine got me for Christmas. Haven't had a chance to have a proper look yet. That piece of paper in the middle is our tickets for the cinema to go in the PL album - we went to see Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and it was very good. I've read the book and it has pretty much stuck to the main script and Daniel Craig is very nice eye candy. <br />
<br />
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all the very best for 2012.<br />
<br />
PS: many thanks to you all who explained to me the numbering system. If only I could remember to put my number after the comments now...<br />

I've been wanting to have a play with Fimo (or any polymer clay) and thought it would be cool to make my own buttons and embellishments. Well, I then had an idea, my friend is starting a new job and she likes teddies so why not have a go making one....honestly, nothing like setting myself a challenge is there. The first thing I attempt is going to be a gift - although I did hand it over saying it's the thought that counts, lol.<br />

For a first attempt I think it turned out ok, but not without mishaps.....as I took it out of the oven the head came off and then the arms! All I can say is thank goodness for glue. I made a simple card to go with the teddy and a little box to put Teddy in.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking,<br />

Well, a slightly tidier desk this week - it doesn't mean I'm on top of things though although I do feel I may be getting a little bit closer. Cards all made and posted, presents that need to be made all done too. You can see I've finished the second of the notebooks that I was covering with the recipients favourite designer paper and added titles cut on my silhouette, and the diary I am making for my daughter still just needs a few finishing touches. The big book in the front is my <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/products/" target="_blank">Project Life</a> - I'm a bit behind, that page is week of 21-27 November. I've really enjoyed doing Project Life but it really does take up so much time - I guess if I had used the Kit then it would have been a bit easier. Not sure if I'll be doing i next year....<br />

The paper with the holes down the edge was my practice for the Bind it All - is anyone else like me? I feel like a surgeon undertaking a major operation and have to do no end of practices first and then just hold my breath and hope it all lines up! I've used my blades quite a bit this week on the Woodware Trimmer to give fancy edges to pages - I've got a couple of border punches but find them such a pain to line up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, that's about it - most crafting done for Christmas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have a lovely holiday and enjoy!<br />
<br />
NB: I think I may have got this wrong...I've only just jumped on board the WOYWW and had assumed that the number after was the total number of posts and that's what each week is but do we number them according to how many we actually participate in? Hopefully someone coming along will let me know, thanks.<br />
