It is half term here where i live, and that means Harry is off school and i have the week off as well!!! HURRAH!!!!!!!!

SO i finally got round to doing some scrapbooking. OF MY OWN!!! i used my own stash and everything!!!! ( unheard of)!!!

This page is very different for me, for several reasons...

Firstly, can you see???? only one, yep just one piece of pattern paper. I did have some more on there but for some reason i just went with the red. Normally i can use up to 4 different sheets on one page.

I used BRADS!!! i never use them. Dont think it was because i had none to use. Because i have a TON, but just never used them before now!!!

I did the 'cluster of flowers'. Now Zarah who is a online scrappy friend and a whizz with clustering flowers will be proud of me as i have never been able to cluster flowers before. Not sure why it always looked wrong.

And then i used one of my Mayar oad journaling tags. Have had those for ages and not used them either.

All in all a different page, but i loved doing it. Was really hard though as i am used to working with restrictions, only using the stuff that is given to me, so i think after more practice next time i will add more!!! lol

I know the UK scrappy talk at the moment is about scrapbook inspirations magazine closing down. I did alot of work for them over the past year, so i am sad to see it go, but not surprised. I did have alot of problems getting paid for the work that i did, but still sad that yet another scrapbooking magazine has gone.
But lets hope someone comes along and brings out something new and exciting for us to read!!!!

I am hoping to do alot of my own scrapbooking this week so hopefully will have lots to share!!!
