Stamps Ahead

On the weekend I participated in a 3 Quarter Craft-a-Thon 2026.  There were so many creatives who designed either scrapbook layouts, cards, off the page or art journals for us to follow. I managed three. A double interactive layout designed by Jenny Heslip - the queen of interactive layouts.   A single layout designed by Natalia Bradley.  This was an accordion journal designed by Julie Hill.   All participants purchased 3Quarter Designs paper kit that included papers, and embellishments from their collection "Shutter Glam".  It was advised that over 600 participants purchased their kit. I will be completing more projects this coming weekend with paper etc that I have not used as yet. Thank you for looking, Margaret

Another layout- double this time.  The objective was to finish a layout that was started before 1st March, this year. This is the story of two parts.  Firstly, the layout was started in February 2020 in a workshop with Jenny Hislop at Scrapbookers Confetti Box in Swansea NSW.  It was not completed so I set about finishing it today.  It is an interactive layout with many flips.  Secondly, about the photos.  In November and December, 1990 I spent time in the United Kingdom and a 35-day tour of Europe. On returning home I placed all the photos into an old-style photo album and overtime they faded and some even became unable to be seen properly.  So, a couple of years ago I removed them from the album with the idea that I would put them into a scrapbook - but like so many ideas it went on the back burner.    The left-hand layout I put United Kingdom photos in and on the right photos from Europe trip.  Of course, I had quite a few left over...
