Welcome !!


Hey guys, welcome to my new blog !!!!!  After many years with Typepad I decided that it was time to move on and enter the land of blogger.  My old blog looked so tired, and it desperately needed a new look and different energy, so i spent a couple of weeks developing this one, which i really love, the header designed by itkupilli !!!  It still needs a bit more tweaking and more information added to the sidebar .... but we are 90% there and ready to roll..... !!

So - news ......  after 9 years of published works in various publications I was thrilled to be asked to submit a Prima Layout for the Fall Edition of Somerset Memories.  Somerset has always been an aspiration of mine, but I have always felt that my work was never "arty" enough to be considered, so I never bothered applying.  So ..... Yipeeeeeeee !!!  Happy Mail..... Doing the happy dance here !!!!!  Thanks Somerset ..... I was so thrilled x






Another project i have been working on is a monthly class I teach at Seriously Scrapbooking called "Make Pretty Stuff".  The class is basically just an excuse for me to sit down and have me scrap time, to  create with whatever products I want to and just have fun.  This is a little Marie Antionette booklet I made for the girls using some gorgeous downloads from Etsy and lots of pink !!!






This is a pretty pastel tag envelope, using the beautiful Melissa Frances 5th Avenue Collection.


And another little spool, this one with sweet little velvet flowers, hat pin and tag.



A couple of class layouts from last month .... 
my Boys to Men class .....



and my White with One class for September.  The color we choose was a soft and subtle moss green mixed with a little teal.  I added my signature layered clusters, I so love creating these.






If you have followed me over here .... thankyou !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please feel free to leave any positive or constructive feedback about my new blog, i would love to hear what you think.

Unfortunately my Google follow button has reset, all 400 readers, so if you were a reader please add yourself again to receive notification of new posts !!!

Thanks so much guys, have a great week, and I will post soon ...

  7. HISteph! I've been following your blog and your artwork for so many months, since I began scrap...that was in 2010! Because of lack of time, both in scrap and in "blog comment", I have never written any comment since today... So I take the creation of your new blog to let you know how much I LOVE everyhing you do, and I must say that each creation is a kind of work of art! So, just know that, even if I don't write very often, you have a big fan behind the scene! It's easier for me to be a follower of your blog via bloglovin', cause I don't have any account on Facebook or Pinterest or even a blog (no time...), so I am not on your follower list, but I am here everyday waiting in a new project! Many people have already said the most beautiful things about your talent, so I just can't repeat the same...but I do think each project is stunning! AndI enjoy your new blog;). Corinne

  9. Wow, your new blog looks awesome! I also love your new blog title:)
    Your first post on this blog is already full of the most amazing creations! I remember you told about the masculine lay-out on Facebook. I think it turned out amazing! You do masculine as beautifully as you do feminine for sure!
    Big congrats on the publication too. Your lay-out is gorgeous and it really shines in the magazine.
