When I started scrapping I fell in love with Autumn Leaves stamps and collected quite a few of their sets, I would like £9 for each set plus £2 p+p, all of them are in mint condition and to buy new are approx £13.50 now.<br />

Scrapping has been such a passion of mine for so long I can hardly believe that the last page I created was way back in October.....that is until this week! To be honest part of me was worried about trying to scrap again in case I had forgotten how to do it or found that I just couldn't do it anymore. I have been off work for a few weeks after an op and kept looking at my mountain of paper but felt absolutely no inspiration or motivation until this week when I finally took the plunge and cut into some of my all time favourite papers.<br />
I think these Websters Pages ranges are Websters at their best, Ladies and Gents and Country Estate. I bought two collection packs of both because I loved them so much!<br />
I had a great time cutting out all the elements and layering them up on this page and then added this super cute photo of little Amelie taken last September.<br />

I cut the daisies and little butterflies out of the Perfect Motifs Pad, the larger butterfly has been scanned from an old Websters paper, I think it was from the Botanical Christmas range, and then reproduced in lots of different sizes. They are so useful, I have used them so much.</div>

Justin and I had a few weeks time off together at the beginning of October which was lovely and we had some lovely weekends away and day trips but all of that left very little time for any scrapping.<br />
I thought I would share a few layouts that I had published in the September issue of Scrap 365....<br />

Sue, Rachel and Irene had put together a wonderful weekend with lots of lovely treats for the delegates from cupcakes to fab goodie bags and some amazing classes from Michelle Mogford, Lisa Saunders, Elaine Rolfe, Penny Kafai, Sandi Vincent and Helen Beaton.<br />
I taught three classes and inflicted rather a lot of fussy cutting on the poor ladies, I think a lot of them will be nursing very sore hands today......sorry ladies!<br />
My first class was using some gorgeous Crate Pretty Party papers...<br />

I know that a lot of you know I was redeployed a few months ago and had to go full time, the job is fantastic but it has meant a huge drop in my free time and I was really struggling to fit in my scrapping and getting very stressed about it. I realised I had to make some changes and the only change I could make was to reduce my scrapping commitments. It was such a hard decision to make, one which I struggled over for weeks, but I have resigned from my position on My Creative Scrapbook design team and ATDML. I would like to thank Pam and her amazing team of girls for giving me such an amazing year on the team, Mel and Jill at ATDML for the opportunity to design for their shop and also you, my blog followers, for all the lovely comments you left on my pages. Thank you all so much.<br />
I will still be scrapping but just not as much (you haven't got rid of me all together!) you will still find me in Scrap 365 and I will definitely be checking out all your blogs to see your gorgeous creations. <br />

It was perfect weather, sunny and warm but with a lovely breeze.<br />
I had to stop here to take a photo looking back over towards Portland, the sun was shimmering on the water it was so beautiful.<br />

In 2011 a lottery grant paid to make the castle safe and now we can walk around inside and enjoy the gorgeous views.<br />

I worked with the Limited Edition kit from My Creative Scrapbook this month (only one kit for the time being until I get to grips with full time work and fitting in all my scrapping!!)<br />
Pam has put together a stunning kit featuring the beautiful Prima Fairy Belle collection along with flowers, trinkets, chipboard, ribbon and lots more.<br />
My first two pages feature beautiful photos of baby Amelie, her parents had a fantastic new born photo shoot with <a href="http://www.npnphotography.com/">NPN photography</a> and the results are just stunning!<br />

I did lots of fussy cutting on this page layering up lots of little details to give an overall 3d feel to the page. I scanned all the butterfly images before I cut into the paper and then resized them on the computer before printing them out.<br />

I tried to create a bit of a background effect on this page to mirror the grid pattern on one of the patterned papers. If you check out the <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/gallery/index.php?showforum=14">Tips and Techniques</a> section on the My Creative Scrapbook forum site in a few days it will show you how I did it along with some amazing tutorials from the other DT members. Well worth checking out!<br />

Yesterday Rebecca and I went over to Weymouth again and went out onto the stone pier to watch the sailing, I wish I had taken my zoom lens (bad planning!!) but I still managed to get some reasonable shots. We didn't really understand what was going on, the boats were going off in pairs at 5 minute intervals. Team GB were against Sweden and it was neck and neck for a while but on the last lap we got a good lead and held onto it winning the race. The atmosphere on the pier and beach was great and for a non ticketed position we had a great view!<br />
<br />

There was loads of activity on the water, I am definitely going to have to go back and take my zoom lens.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELis17qjvk2cy9TT-iFCoTlEFMqNGZK8A3Xp5HlVpAVUP9YSCNzWecrHc6h0pIyKEofRHRXK9OR2QeiP2l5EXpri0k-x36GvciEzJyr6PJ3kNPZYV8NzO80phxsYgtl119gkDl4IdutA/s1600/blog+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELis17qjvk2cy9TT-iFCoTlEFMqNGZK8A3Xp5HlVpAVUP9YSCNzWecrHc6h0pIyKEofRHRXK9OR2QeiP2l5EXpri0k-x36GvciEzJyr6PJ3kNPZYV8NzO80phxsYgtl119gkDl4IdutA/s320/blog+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
We also watched some of the Volley Ball on the beach on the big screens, team GB were playing the Russian Federation. Again the atmosphere was great and you could feel the tension mounting as team GB lost the first set.<br />

I remember when we were chosen to host the 2012 Olympics and thinking gosh the girls will be 17 and 15 by then, how quickly those years have gone by.<br />
We had our own opening ceremony in Weymouth on Friday which Justin and I went over to after work, there was a great atmosphere on the beach with lots of live acts performing and links with the opening ceremony in London on the big screen.<br />
<br />

We went up the Weymouth Tower and had a great view over Weymouth and Portland, the sun was really bright so there was a bit of reflection on the glass taking photos.<br />

We had a wander around the harbour and just saw the backs of Team GB going across the harbour making their way to the stage on the beach. All the boats in the harbour are decorated with Olympic bunting which looks really good.<br />

On Sunday we had a walk around the cliffs to see if we could see the Olympic sailing and we did catch a glimps of them out in the bay.....all be it a bit distant!<br />

On Monday we decided to go across to Weymouth again to watch the sailing on the screen and soak up the atmosphere. We were really surprised at how quiet it was, I think there has been so much info about how bad the traffic is going to be people are staying away. Anyone who has been to Weymouth in the height of the summer knows that it is usually pretty bad with all the holiday makers so the thought of it being worse than that has kept people away I think. A real shame because there is so much to see and do and it is so easy to get around!<br />
This was the scene at the Live Site on Monday...<br />

We were approached on the beach by the BBC and asked if they could interview us! We appeared on the news later that night, the girls happened to be watching it and recorded our 5 minutes of fame lol. I was so cross with myself later than night as I accidently deleted it!!! I couldn't believe it, I wasn't happy :(<br />

If you didn't see my last post Pam featured a new paper manufacturer....Carta Bella and their Beautiful Moments collection, it is a stunning kit and great fun to work with.<br />
For some reason I haven't really scrapped our pets before but I took so many really cute photos of Barney when he was tiny now is the time to start! I know he is a boy and this page is a bit pink buy hey I don't think he really minds.<br />

The 12x12 sheet of alpha stickers are fab, I especially loved this pink alpha. I matted each letter onto scraps of cardstock so that I could easily vary the height of each character.<br />

I love papers which have images that can be cut out, often the images are placed in a corner like on this<br />
Carta Bella paper, once they are cut out you are left with a piece which is triangular in shape. I find that these shapes can sometimes be a bit difficult to incorporate onto the page, to get over that I cut the image into three sections and layered them up giving a totally different shape and look.<br />

When Amelie was born I bought some material and got a friend to make her a special little Teddy, I had to take a photo of the two of them together and these papers were a perfect match. I cut out lots of the little banners, cut them into small sections and edged the photo with them.<br />

The element sticker sheet that is in the kit has got some really usable images on it which I matted onto cardstock and cut out. I always tend to do that so I can move them around my page without worrying about them sticking, it also means that I can bend and curl them to add definition and interest. It can be a bit fiddly but I think it makes the stickers so much more versatile.<br />

I will be back in a few days with the rest of the pages that I created using this kit. If you want to have a look at the rest of the Design Teams creations then why not pop on over to the <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/gallery.htm">DT gallery</a> over at My Creative Scrapbook.<br />
<br />
I am sorry I haven't been visiting as many of your blogs as usual, working full time is really taking its toll on my scrapping and internet surfing time!!! Hopefully normal service will resume soon. The job is going really well, it is very different and not in a field I have ever nursed in before but it is really interesting and I am absolutely loving it which makes the increased hours much easier to accept!<br />

I totally loved this paper range as soon as I saw it on the Websters blog and Pam teamed the papers up with some gorgeous Prima flowers, chipboard, lace and ribbon to create an absolutely stunning kit.<br />
I struggle to use more than one photo on my pages so I set myself a little challenge and I am quite pleased with the end result!<br />

I created the butterfly using a template I made from some other paper, I think it was Simple Stories paper, I cut the butterfly out to use on another page but really liked the page so decided to create a template before I added it to the page. I have used the template loads since.<br />

We weren't quite sure what to expect but we certainly weren't disappointed, we had a great time there. As you would expect I did take lots of photos but inside the studios it was quite dark and although I took my large flash it was still a bit dark to get good photos.<br />
<br />
The outside of the studios..<br />
<br />

After an introduction by one of the guides and then a short film presentation we were led into the great hall, it was just like stepping into the film (as long as you didn't look up, there was no night sky or candles just studio lights lol) It all looked so real, you could honestly believe that the walls were solid stone intricately carved, it was amazing!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt9eWsrKYq6usO22S8unfCB3nBPUQuksf3AwclVCOt9sXuA_u7GHIWd_pkEjaRnXoBNeP_-mnUSqo1B-YFgCjoVtSUM41HED9pQbOG4jsrL88JkCu-z5-ywe69tPFZuXt6fPWaurNoIo/s1600/mcs1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt9eWsrKYq6usO22S8unfCB3nBPUQuksf3AwclVCOt9sXuA_u7GHIWd_pkEjaRnXoBNeP_-mnUSqo1B-YFgCjoVtSUM41HED9pQbOG4jsrL88JkCu-z5-ywe69tPFZuXt6fPWaurNoIo/s320/mcs1.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />
Emily has a bit of a soft spot for poor little Dobby and we found him in a glass case complete with his blood stained shirt after being stabbed by Bellatrix. He looked so real and even had a hairy little chin which we had never noticed in the films.<br />
<br />

Outside we got to see the Hogwarts bridge, the Night bus, Privit Drive, the Weasleys car, Hagrids bike and side car and the Potters cottage. The girls thought they would go for a little drive in the car....<br />

We had to try Butter Beer, it was a bit weird I have to say, the top was like a creamy caramel and the bottom was a fizzy liquid which didn't taste like anything else I have tasted!! It was OK but not something we would rave over lol.<br />

Rebecca bought some Every Flavour Bertie Botts beans and when we got home Emily, her friend Bryony (also a Harry Potter fan) and Rebecca tried some of them.

</div></div><div>Don't for get to pop over to My Creative Scrapbook, if you haven't already, and check out the two new kits that Pam has put together. There is a Dusty Attic add on plus a Mixed Media kit and of course the four regular kits plus the flower add on......My Creative Scrapbook really is the place to go if you are looking for a great kit and an amazing choice!</div><div><br />
</div><div>On a non scrapping note I started a new job this week and for the first time in over 17 years I am working full time! The job is really really interesting and with loads to learn but it means that scrapping time is a bit limited which is coming a bit hard :( Hopefully in a few months I will have settled into a routine and life will be running smoothly again. </div><div>I did have last week off before I started the job and we went to the Harry Potter studios....I will be back in a few days to share all the magic!!!!</div><div>TFL</div><div>x</div>Rachael Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14907634831761368266noreply@blogger.com6
