From the Scrapbook #4

Hello lovely blog readers,
I am so happy; today I became the proud owner of a gorgeous dark blue leather Osprey London handbag. I am in love with it! And after being good and saving a lot of money lately, I thought I deserved a treat :) Isn't it beautiful?

I think we're all rather fed up of winter now and are looking forward to spring arriving so for this week's From the Scrapbook theme I chose Pastel Colours to create some pretty bits and pieces for you to use.

This sweet blog header suits most colour schemes and can be personalised by adding your blog name to the empty purple backing and also by adding a tag line along the floral banner. I like the simplicity and I can't get enough of chevrons at the moment. This scrap can be saved as a JPEG or PNG file.

This scrap is perfect for adding to any scrapbooking project. The shield frame is left transparent so that you are able to add your own photo and the speech bubble allows you to add a description or quote. I have also kept the chevron pattern light so that text can easily be added here should you wish. Save this scrap as a PNG file.

Finally, this little tag is a sweet addition to a scrapbook page or could even be used as an invitation to a tea party where you can hand write the details on the back of the tag or something like that. I've been looking for an excuse to use the little purple tea cup for a while now!

So there we go for another week. I hope you like these bits and pieces and, as always, I'd love to see them in action.
Have a nice evening :)

From the Scrapbook #3

Hello,

The time of week has come once again for another From the Scrapbook post. With valentine's day almost upon us, this week I have put together some Valentine's themed scraps for you to use.

This sweet "forever yours" tag was made using the Shabby Blogs Madelyn Kit that you can download for free over at their blog. It would look adorable on your valentines gift and the light colours make it a less garish choice. Save as a JPEG or PNG file.

This polaroid style photo frame provides a cute way to scrapbook the perfect photo of you and your loved one on valentines day. Save as a PNG file to keep the frame transparent for your scrapbooking needs :)

 This tongue in cheek gnome tag is perfect for a less serious gift. And who doesn't love a comedy garden gnome? Save as a JPEG or PNG file and then print for the perfect comedy gift tag.

Finally, we have the virtual love note. For those of you not lucky enough to be able to see your loved one this valentines day, I have created the virtual love note which has space for you to add a photo, a small romantic message or caption for the photo and space for you to add "10 things I love about you". I think an email containing this would be a lovely treat on Vday. Save as a PNG file.



I hope you like this weeks offerings, and as always, I'd love to hear if you use any of these creations :)
Have a great day!

From the Scrapbook #1

Hello!
 I's so excited to say that today is the first installment of "From the Scrapbook" a weekly feature dedicated to the wonder that is virtual scrapping :)

This weeks goodies are all about: Travel
Simply save them as a .PNG file on your computer and away you go.

First we have a lovely wide blog header that includes room to add your own photo to the polaroid frame and add your blog name to the floral postcard.

Next we have a cute post pretty where you can add your own holiday photo to the polaroid frame and then use the grid paper in the rounded frame to tell your blog readers all about what is in the photo.

And finally we have a sweet little gift tag, decorated with a hot air balloon and the phrase "last night I dreamt I was flying" which would be perfect for a going away present or for anyone with an interest in traveling.

I'm particularly keen on the gift tag myself. Which is your favourite? I would love to see if you use one of these freebies so it would be great if you'd send me a link :) Hope everyone has a lovely sunday, I'm off to make a chicken pie (yumyum!)

A Lovely Sunny Sunday ♥

Hello!
Today has been a lovely hot, sunny day here in Somerset and provided the perfect backdrop for a day of happy things.
This morning I visited a wedding fair in Homewood Park, a beautiful house surrounded by amazingly pretty gardens. It is the perfect place for a fairy-tale wedding and looked lovely in the sun. We were plied with free bucks fizz and met lots of local suppliers selling a wide range of things including a lady who designs bespoke dresses for brides for incredibly affordable prices and a four piece jazz band who's music suited the venue perfectly. I came away with loadssss of information and business cards ready to share with future clients :)

This afternoon provided another fun experience as I visited the Bath V & A Antiques sale in Green Park. It was amazing and I was like a child in a sweet shop surrounded by all sorts of beautiful, vintage furniture, clothing and jewellery. So it's no surprise that I came away with a big bag of goodies including two pretty scarves, a pashmina, four cute ice cream glasses and a purdyyy teal nibbles dish. Soooo happy :)

I will be visiting again next month for sure! And I would hugely recommend the market to any other person who likes antique and vintage items. It takes place every last Sunday of the month in the Green Park Market here in Bath :)
I'm off now for Sunday dinner with the OH's family.
Toodles,
