Flanders Scrapbook

I recently took a tour around the First World War battlefields of France and Flanders. I learnt so much from our excellent tour guide and was lucky enough to find the gravestone of one Great Great Uncle and a memorial to another who was killed in the fighting.

I came back with lots of photos, as I wanted to put together a scrapbook and so these are the first few pages - I bought a set of clear stamps from Hobby Art Ltd called Commemorative which are ideal to help illustrate it.

This is still very much a Work in Progress, but at least I have made a start on the scrapbook to keep my memories in. You can read a bit more about the trip and also my  recent craft room injury on my other blog - 50 New Experiences



  

Upcycled Christmas Cards

A couple of 2014 cards made using last years Christmas cards - I'm lucky that several people save their cards for me and I have great fun cutting them up and reusing them!

I also went to a willow weaving wreath workshop yesterday and for the first time made my own Christmas wreath - you can read more about this on my 50 Challenge blog here

Little Wooden Embellishments

Love these cute garden themed wooden embellishments that I picked up in the Range recently!

As I recently celebrated my 50th birthday, I decided to have 50 new experiences over the next 12 months! 

I have set up a blog to recount these experiences and if you are interested - you can find it here!
