Time for a Clean Up

Since moving I have had to change my internet provider, therefore I have had to change my email address etc. I felt it was time to clean things up around here. Do you ever find that you start all these things (like numerous blogs etc) and it ends up very very messy and you can never remember how to 'sign in' etc.

So I have had a little clean up. I will no longer be posting here but will continue this blog over here at www.alexhughescraft.blogspot.com

Come on over and have a look around. If you have me saved to your favourites (maybe that is just my Mum and my friend :) then please delete this web address and save my new one. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come see me at the my new blog.

Bye
Alex

A need to scrapbook....

I feel the need, the need to record more memories.

My scrapbooking has taken a backseat to just about everything lately and I miss it so much. So now that we are getting settled and life is not so chaotic I want to concentrate on getting more photos onto pages. Here is my attempt last night:

I used some Teresa Collins paper, Tim Holtz tags and lots of bits-n-pieces that I have lying around. Amazing how much craft stuff you can accumulate :) While downsizing my craft area I have had to have a major clean out. I am yet to decide how to get rid of the excess?????

Thanks for stopping by,
Alex

Hello Ian

....he's my DT submission for The Stamp Spot blog this week.
I have to be honest and stay that I found him a challenge as it is not my normal 'style', if I really have a style. But it was fun to watercolour him in and I really enjoyed working on this card. He comes from The Greeting Farm stamps (will show you some more over the coming weeks). He can be purchased from The Stamp Spot along with Anya.

I found it amusing this week to see that the other girls from the DT picked Anya to feature on their cards and I picked Ian. (You can see the others at The Stamp Spot Blog.) Does that say something about me with my three boys, I just gravitated towards the boy image? Weird, considering I love all things girly I looked at the girl images I was sent and didn't know where to start with them. There in lies my next challenge, watercolouring girl images. Will get on to that this week and see what I can come up with. Keep watching..................

Bye,
Alex
