I am
going to make a change to this blog, I am going to post about what I
have worked on so for instance Yesterday I worked on layouts for
different packs so next post will be about what I have worked on this
week (& one layout I worked on the other week that hasn't been posted yet) and then when I have completed all layouts for a pack I will do the
"Club" post and you can contact me to get instructions.I want to keep the inspirations flowing while there are gaps in Club posts. I feel this is the best way to keep my blog active, many things
cause a delay in my completing layouts for a paper range within the
time I have allotted myself. Such as discovering I don't have the ink I
need and then trying to source it locally or having to wait until my
next order. Or kids getting sick, my hand playing up or just trying to
create within the budget I have set for Club.
Sometimes I will plan
on using a stamp and then when I am creating I find that stamp isn't
suitable and it needs something different or doesn't need stamping at
all and instead needs embellishments sometimes I will have planned on no stamping and then decide a layout needs stamping.
Sometimes I make a mistake when cutting and it means I don't have
enough paper to complete the layout so have to substitute or adapt or wait for
another order so I can fix things.
All this means when you get
instructions from me you get a cutting guide that has been worked out so
minimal wastage occurs for you (but not for me as that happens as I
work things out for you), you get detailed instructions of what worked,
links to tutorials on how to do things, such as how to save paper, how
to create a specific embellishments, etc.
So Here is my first blog post in my new format I hope you find it inspirational.

Layouts from Whimsy Fundamentals and Yuletide Carol I have been working on.
Option 1.
For this Scrap Club I am using up left over embellishments from previous clubs.
Option 2.
This layout will be used for my daughter's Year 12 Formal photos.
Her graduation is one of the things that impacting my ability to get Club layouts completed as since she wass home schooled through BSDE due to getting ill at the start of grade 11 her QCS exams and workshops were 4hrs from our home, she also had AMEB exams for Cello and many audtions for her Cello next year from auditions for her Tertiary Education to auditions for Orchestras and Ensembles all on top of regular parent and carer duties and my own University studies.
She just has a few Christmas gigs to go and then we get a break for a about a month and then the big move for her happens so I am hoping we can have lots of crafting time together in the mean time.
It is a wonderful feeling knowing she has Graduated when 4 years ago we were being told this may never happen but thanks to BSDE, a 4 year Senior pathway, and a Mother's determination we have managed to help her achieve this and continue on the path she has dreamed of since she was 9 years old though it is a longer path and different to how she dreamed she is still on target to achieve her dreams.
Sorry got a bit off track but it is a exciting time for us.
A week later and discovered I hadn't published, here it is.

Preparing for my first year of doing a December project.
I was introduced to Pocket Scrapping last year and along with it I discovered December Daily, I was intrigued but the idea of daily photos was daunting.
This year I started to Pocket Scrap and I have not done daily photos but taken the usual important moments and I did a couple of weeks of daily life since things repeat themselves here a fair bit. I really enjoyed it.
So I decided to try December Daily this year and as I was trying to work out how I wanted to create my album the new Catalogue came out and I saw the Holiday Happenings range and got really excited about this range for my December Project.
This year December will be different as I am introducing my children to some things I enjoyed as a child but most especially St Nick, I met my friend's Christine and Marianne when I was 6, there Dad was German and our Mum's became lifelong best friends. So some aspects of a German Christmas entered my childhood at this point and it just made things that extra bit special.
I am also (if AusPost delivers him in time) doing my own take on the Elf On The Shelf/Kindness Elf.
Now to what this post is about, my preparations for my December Project.
I watched a couple of Youtube videos, checked out blog posts and have drawn inspiration from them.
I have prepared the base cardstock of a 7 flap Waterfall, Cards for pockets, Fold out pages and Cardstock Pockets.
Love Waterfalls for adding extra photos.
I chose this page to add my Waterfall to.
Cards slipped into pockets for extra space for photos and journalling.
I am going to use the 12 pocket page for my Elf photos, so I have made a pocket on the page to it's left to hold notes the Elf leaves.
I added a some bling, really excited about getting my daughter's graduation photos so I can finish decorating my book.
I have made a simple fold out on this page.
I put a pocket on the inside of the front cover, for now it is holding my assortment pack and badges but when my project is finished it will hold photos or journalling.
I haven't covered it in decorative paper yet.
The paper added to the Glacier pocket is the only paper I have added so far from Yuletide Carol as I chose this pack as it is not only perfect for Christmas but also my daughter's Graduation, she Graduated 2 days ago, so I am waiting on photos before I do my layouts. I will upload my 12x12 layouts and my paper covered Holiday Happenings book once I have completed them later this week.
I have a few more fold outs & cards I want to do and to add a pocket to the back cover, I am hoping to finish my preparations this week and I will do a follow up blog post when my album is complete.

Portable crafting within the house.
I got 2 of these carts at Aldi some time ago for $13 each, one is used for general scrapping supplies that my boys and I use and this one just has current range CTMH in.
My space only 1 person can fit in to craft so I often move some supplies out to the Dining room to craft with the kids or with friends visiting, carrying armful after armful got tiresome so I set these carts up, when not in use I tuck it away in a nook and when I need it I either wheel it over to my desk or out the dining table and have it next to the table.
This post I am sharing my Aldi cart for my CTMH supplies as the other one needs a bit of a tidy so I wasn't comfortable sharing pics of it.
I would really love to Upcycle a Change Table as that would be big enough and sturdy enough to hold my supplies the kids and I use and my CTMH Organisers.
I hope it is a helpful post for those needed a portable crafting station.
Here is my little Aldi cart all packed with CTMH supplies.
Bottom is ideas books, if I have a catalogue I put it here also.
Middle is current stamps, next 2 months of Stamp Of The Month, wet wipes and under them is my CM personal trimmer.
Top has bucket full of paint brushes, scissors, pencils, etc (I use CTMH non stick scissors for cutting sticky things, grey handle scissors for cutting glitter tape, orange handle for cutting ribbon and white & blue handle for detailed cutting), stamp blocks, ink pad tower, versamark, stamp cleaner, piercing tool & mat, scallop border punch, adhesives, cardstock swatches, spare blades, eraser and business card.
In this pic I have removed my ruler and 12 inch trimmer to show the paper.
I am currently working on layouts with Whimsy Fundamentals, Brushed & Yuletide Carol.
Behind the paper is my versamat and behind this is the 2 ideas books I am currently using to save me bending.
Everything I need to work on the layouts I am working on with CTMH ranges/

Scrap Club July Layouts Featuring Skylark
I am still learning how to do work my blog posts, and it isn't fully set up yet but I really wanted to share my layouts. I am jumping in and doing 2 posts today so I can share my Scrap Club with you. I am sorry it has taken me so long but I felt overwhelmed by blogging, though now I am doing it I am so excited that I can't wait for August 1st so I can share my layouts for that month with you.
So here are the July layouts.
Note the Titles have been left off each page so you can chose which Title best suits your memories, you could also add more embellishments if you wish.
When you order the supplies to create these layouts I will send you instructions to complete them, and you will be able to access an exclusive closed Facebook group for my Scrap Club and Picture My Life Club members to share inspiration with each other.
There are 2 ways to order either through my online shop or directly from myself.
Here is the list of supplies needed for the 3 Scrap Club layouts:
Skylark Paper Pack RRP $14
Skylark Complimates RRP $6.50
Love Life Stamp Set RRP $24
Total cost is $44.50 plus shipping.
Extra items you may need if you don't already have them include:
4x5 Stamp Block RRP $21
Lagoon Ink Pad RRP $8
12 Inch Trimmer RRP $45
and you will need either Kraft Cardstock RRP $15 or Basics Cardstock RRP $22 for the extra brown looking background
Note CTMH Kraft Cardstock is acid free, which is fantastic news for those who like to only use photo safe items in their layouts.
To create the bonus layout you will also need:
Picture My Life Skylark RRP $35
Those who order both kits will receive a bonus.
Here is my post about with full details regarding my Scrap Club and Picture My Life (PML) Club.
Scrap Club/Picture My Life Club basic information.
Note all club orders count towards Stamp Of The Month and other company rewards.
The new catalogue will be available from August 1st so this will be the first month of the new Clubs
How it will work, each month a minimum 3 layouts will be created using a specific range, some months will have bonus layouts.
If you wish to complete the upcoming month's layouts all you have to do is go to my store at www.scrappingfun.ctmh.com.au and add your order to the Scrap Club EZ invite, you will then be emailed the instructions for your layout and given admission to a exclusive Facebook group just for my Scrap Club and PML Club members to share their layouts with each other.
There will be new layouts each month August to November inclusive, December and January will be a combined month and to round it out to 6 Scrap Clubs there will be what I am calling a roaming monthly kit, this is Birthday themed so you can order it any month between August and January but if you order it by September 20th will receive a bonus stamp set.
Each kit will have the paper, embellishments and stamp listed you need to order to complete your layouts, ink pads, tools and adhesive will be listed but are a optional extra for those who need these.
Those not living locally will need to click to have it delivered direct to you when ordering, there will be a delivery fee ($9.50 for orders under $150), each month the Scrap Club will range in price between $34 and $50 excluding postage. Locals will need to pay a $3 shipping fee.
Those who order all 6 kits will get a further bonus.
There are 2 ways to order- through my online shop or directly from myself.
The new Picture My Life Club starts August 1st.
I have selected a PML range that compliments the paper range being used each month, currently there are 5 PML club months and a lovely My Crush collection that I am suggesting as a roaming month that would be great for December Daily or just recording your Christmas memories.
Those who order all 5 and the My Crush suggestion will receive a bonus. Those who order the My Crush by November 20th will receive a bonus.
To order your Picture My Life Club kit just go to my store at www.scrappingfun.ctmh.com.au and add your order to the PML Club EZ invite, you will then be given admission to the exclusive Facebook group for my Scrap Club and PML Club members so you can all share ideas and inspiration with each other, I will post my PML layouts also.
Those not living locally will need to click to have it delivered direct to you when ordering, there will be a delivery fee ($9.50 for orders under $150), each PML kit is $35 and the My Crush set is $32 excluding postage. Locals will need to pay a $3 shipping fee.
And finally if you choose to order the Scrap Club and the PML club in any month you will receive a bonus mini stamp that will co-ordinate with your layouts and I will work on bonus layouts for those who order both.
Scrap Club members even if you don't want to combine with the PML Club I recommend the My Crush bundle as it is a great fun little project, if you add this to your November order you will receive a bonus stamp.
Scrap Club Members in addition to your basic kit and any ink pads you need I recommend adding the Whimsy Cardstock Pack to either August or September as it will open up extra bonus layouts through the duration of Scrap Club.
August Kit is $36.50 plus postage
September Kit is $39 plus postage
Whimsy Cardstock is $22. Prices of kits may change as I can't set them in stone until I receive my order and create the layouts and adjust any additional needs.
While you can order supplies in any month I suggest ordering in the month of that club.

Welcome to my first Scrapping Blog
Hi and welcome to my Scrapping Fun Blog.
Please bare with me this is a work in progress, as you can see by my Chewie the blind Cockatiel blog I am a blogging novice so I will be getting my 18yr to teach me more about how to use this site (create tabs for tutorials, add things where I want them to be, etc) as she has a few blogs that are rather successful. Hopefully I can get her assistance over the next few days. I would like to at the very least do a monthly Scrapping blog or even weekly if I can, with regular tutorials for you and/or links to useful tutorials.
I have been very busy planning workshops for the next few months, creating layouts and samples for you to enjoy, planning Scrap Clubs and working on a Virtual Club. I look forward to sharing this with you soon.
I have started a Project Life style album this year, I have already completed the first week, I love it and can't wait to get my Close To My Heart order as I am getting myself 1 of their new Picture My Life kits called Skylark. This kit will make my project much quicker as currently I am making my own cards with scraps from paper kits. I am having trouble remembering to take photos but hopefully it will become a habit to take a photo of my life each day. I even took my first selfie last night, I was home alone with my boys enjoying a Disney Movie and wanted to record this happy time so took a leaf out of my teenager's book and took a selfie since no one was available to take a photo of us together. I rarely have my photo taken so this concept is good as it will mean my children will have more photos of Mum.
Please bare in mind I do not like putting photos of my children on the internet so photos on layouts will be covered with cardstock or I will take a photo of the layout before adding photos.
I look forward to sharing with you.
