I hadn't really intended to be participating in Journal Your Christmas - despite my love for all of Shimelle's scrapbooking classes - but my lovely friend Cheryl bought me a class pass as an early Christmas present and I started receiving e-mail prompts in my inbox this morning! What a lovely gift!
I've been busy 'shopping my stash' this evening, pulling out random bits of stash that I am hoping to sit down and combine into an album sometime over the weekend. I absolutely love the beginning of a project when I can have a really good rummage in my papers, embellishments and ribbons to make my very own little kit! I wish it looked as cute as this one - maybe I need to stage all of my own photographs in tea cups?

Expect some updates on my progress throughout the month - but not every day - I'm not a speedy enough scrapper and I need to have my photographs printed. Just every now and then, deal?
isn't it lovely to have such marvellous friends. glad to see u joining the rest of us shimelle stalkers again,

You are very welcome hun, looking forward to seeing your pages and hope to catch up before christmas x
ReplyDeleteI'm doing it too! Be good to have a blog buddy with me! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how I'm doing it too - getting photos printed every few days, and doing a two or three pages at a time. I find it gets a little hectic and I always get behind in about the third week of December (too much else to do!) but this is my third year and my first two albums are among my most favourite things I have ever made :0)
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a deal!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan! I like that you are being realistic about this project, Clair, and I'll look forward to seeing your progress...whenever you want to post...no pressure! xo
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your album. I have a surprise for you on my site ...
ReplyDeleteHi Clair, I've been checking out the new MTDS DT members blogs and have been blown away by some of your photography. Your blog is beautiful....and full off great ideas. I'll be sure to pop back often. :-)
ReplyDeleteDeal indeed, so glad you're in the class! Can't wait to see your project xx
