Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Memories.
Here’s what I came up with. I am still sorting through Mum’s belongings since she passed away last June. There are so many photographs to sort and share out among the family. These were among the pile with me in. I haven’t made a scrapbook page since lockdown so when I saw our theme is memories I decided now was the right time to get another one done.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s Memories projects.
Here we are with our March 2021 Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop! This month the lovely Sharon Dalton has given us a mood board to inspire our creativity.
Isn’t this a beautiful board she has created? It made me think of Sunny Days and happy times spent with my grandchildren, blue skies and the happy feeling that watching butterflies floating around gives me. In short time with my grand children and butterflies bring me joy.
This is the page I was inspired to make – I have used the colours from the mood board which are the colours in the Hydrangea Hill Suite.
Here are a few pictures of the page being built up. I think for me the butterflies are a symbol of the freedom to fly where ever I want to which is not possible at the moment and I am yearning to fly to Australia to visit my other 2 grandchildren there! Be gone darn virus!

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop July 2020 – the theme is ‘Monochromatic’. I’m so glad you have joined us and you will be as excited as me to see all the pages in this hop.
So this is my second entry to this hop with my very first layout with real people and memories. While I was considering what monochromatic meant I remembered about a photo book that had been found by one of my Dad’s sisters in what was their family home where they grew up. He must have left it behind when he left home. These pictures invoke all sorts of emotions for me and I wanted a way to share them with the whole family. As I am a beginner I have kept this layout very simple but I think it gives us a little window on Dad’s time in the jungle.
I have used a sheet from In good Taste Designer Series Paper which is mostly Basic Gray and textural, I stamped on it with Basic Gray using stamps from Timeless Tropical, Beautiful World and Wildly Happy. I chose 8 pictures and 1 scrap of whisper white card stock and cut them to 6.8 cm squares and matted onto 7.2cm squares of basic black card stock. I arranged them in this grid pattern as i see it a symbolic of a windows into the past. All the products I have used are available to purchase from my online shop by clicking on the product pictures listed at the bottom of this page.
Oh my goodness I thoroughly enjoyed this process – it is so therapeutic I am already working on a layout with pictures of my maternal granny. This journey has only just begun!
I hope you will stay and have a look at all the pages in the hop. Make yourself a cuppa, get comfy and click below to see Sandra’s page which I know will be amazing!
