Srapbooking Monthly

If you are all like me you like to experiment with new things and gain knowledge. So I have started this section with the idea of completing a page or two each month. I haven't thought yet how this should take shape and form and as usual I am open to all suggestions, so get those suggestions rolling in. Whether you prefer a layout sketch and/or a colour scheme and/or a theme and/or an event. Do you want a schedule for the year month by month? Let me know what you want.

Liz, if you need any help with this please let me know, I have been Scrapboking for about 12 years and have done it both here and in the USA

That would be great as I am not a scrapbooker! I started one and admire others work but that is far as I go!

oh this is fab Liz. I have set myself a promise of a page a month so I would love to join in.
Sketches sound an awesome idea xxxx

I'm not a scrapbooker but I love sketches. Maybe the card makers could have a go at the sketches just for fun?

Sounds all good to me. I will perhaps send an email to everybody to get a general feel about scrapbooking as I am in the dark a bit and make sure nobody has missed the thread - in fact I will (being positive).

Liz, I cannot remember how to upload a picture can you help please.

Hi Pam

This is what I do. Click the Host an Image button above the comment box. In the pop-up box, click browse and choose your photo. Click open. Click Host it. 3 lines of code will appear. Click Copy next to the middle line. Close the box by clicking Host an Image again. Paste the code into the comment box.

Such a good idea sketches would be a great idea I sorted all my photos and that is as far as I got

Thanks for your help Kerry.

I thought I would set the ball rolling with a page I did last week.

Lovely layout Pam, it's great what you can make a game out of

Thanks Kerry, they are my Grand-daughters and we were waiting for a train to go back into Sydney and they decided they were cold so put my coat on, the little girl in most of the pictures is only 4 and is full of mischief.

What a lovely layout Pam, Im going to have a go as well

Lovely page Pam, have you got a few more to inspire us before we get going?

Hi Liz, I have got about 10 albums of pages so will post one or two for you in the next few days.

That sounds fab Pam. Thank you.

Hi Liz, I like getting the email. It reminds me to go on the site and see how others are coming along with their scrapbooks or sketches. The layout Pam put on is adorable. Thanks for having this forum. Elizabeth (Idaho)

I love this idea. I like to work from sketches but also like having a theme. It would be good if we could know a few months in advance so we had time to plan. Will there be a time frame for posting?

This is something we are mulling over the exact set up of the scrapbooking section which is why I asked for everybody's opinions/suggestions can go in the melting pot.

Pam, I love the layout you have done, where did you get the ideas from? Is there a site that is better than others for layouts? Upto now I have only done two or three and two I put on my blog that I did at Embsay with Virginia at Click on Crafts. I must admit I do love scrapbooking but more to see what other people have done, I don't seem to have much idea with putting things together (story of my life), I am hopeless with colours.

How are things with you Pam, anything growing in the garden yet, our pots have a few tiny Pansies coming through but I think they want to stay in the soil nice and warm!

Hi Carol, I get the ideas from looking and the photo's mostly and pooling ideas with other people. I am fine and my DH is getting ready to plant the potatoes.

Oh Pam, don't mention potatoes, I still have the scars from last year, when I am cold and turn a heater on you can see the purple bluish tinge to my skin where I had that awful rash. This year I am going to buy an all in one Homer Simpson suit!

This is a layout I did for my God Daughter, I always plan it out on Photo Shop, to see how it would work, I scrapbook the page done with paper and embelishments.

Hope you like

Chris

Opps hope this time it comes through lol

Fab layout Chris. Tell us more of how you plan you page in photoshop - perhaps a mini tutorial on it would go down well!!! Please pretty please.
