It's been awhile since I made a heritage layout, also a while since I used Thickers lol. While searching for an old photo which was already photocopied, I came across 15 unfinished layouts, most of which were barely started. They were all put away because I got stuck on ideas etc for them. I made a new goal to get round to finishing most of them one day. Anyway, I took this old photo from one of them lol. 

Also, my Grandma recently turned 90, so I made her this quick card.

I'm 3 weeks into my course and im currently swamped with homework. Gonna do a huge catch up this week, enjoy the 5 day weekend, and then get started on the next assignment, which I will be more productive on and use my time wisely.
I'm also starting to fall more behind on project life, so I'm going to start setting time aside most nights for scrapbooking/pl.
tfl.

After hours of searching for inspiration for a valentines gift, I came across a blog with book of notes by oh, hello friend. I figured it would be perfect since I wanted to write a love letter anyway, so I could put that into an envelope.

So I searched through my stash of products, even old stuff I constantly forget about, and love quotes etc on pinterest, and this is what I came up with.
I love looking through this book and flipping up bits and pulling things out lol.

I also made him this card. I didn't realise how hard it is to make a lovey dovey girly kind of card for a guy lol. I took the photo while we were setting up for our romantic outside dinner.

some christmas cards i've been working on:

i still have have 3 more to make

i decided to make a december daily this year so i finally got started on that last night. and i've been making an attempt to clean up my scrap space so i can put some pics up, it's slow progress though lol.

a couple of months ago i came up with an idea to sell framed art on etsy, but i gave up after making just a few because international shipping etc seems too complicated lol. and so i'm finally getting round to posting these, plus a card i made for my bf's birthday.

so it's been yet another month since i've blogged lol. i haven't really done much scrapbooking in the last 2 months because my room is a pig sty and it's winter, so i'd rather sit in the lounge each night infront of the fire place than sit in my cramped cold room lol. i'm getting the urge to do some more scrapping, so i guess it's time to clean my room, and since my brother's moved out, i can use his room for storage. i'm gonna have to do a huge hunt for photos that i haven't scrapped yet.

anyway's, here's pics of what i've been up to lately:

last week's assignment was a magazine assignment and i chose to do mine about scrapbooking. it was so much fun and it turned out awesome. my tutor is into scrapbooking too lol and took a copy for herself coz she loved it.

those are the first ever sketches i've made lol. just a quick 5 minute job in adobe illustrator, but i guess they look pretty good for a first time.

and this was for the me, myself and i assignment, which i did in the style of a scrapbook layout.

and lastly, a card i made for my brother.

tfl :)

some more layouts and a card i made for Scrappin Patch.

i bought myself an 8gb ipod touch today :) the shop i saw them on sale at was sold out and i was left extremely dissapointed, but i tried another shop and was amazed they had them on sale for the same price, and i even got a half price extended warranty. oh, and i went to my graphic design interview the other day. i went to the wrong floor and got completely lost *cringe* and had to ask one of the students where the reception is, luckily he was really nice and showed me the way. 46 people applied and there's 40 places available, pretty sure i got in coz i showed creativity and a willingness to do the next level course, i should find out in the next day or two. fingers crossed lol.

I started making this layout about half way through last year and finally finished it a week ago, lol. I wanted my Dad to find out how old he was when he got his childhood dog and when they gave her away, but he kept forgetting to ask my Nana or it just wasn't a good time. Then when we saw my Nana for christmas, it turns out she can't remember, so I just got my Dad to write down a couple of thoughts about Penny and I used that as my journelling.

And I made this card for last months kaisercraft monthly sketch challenge. I think I'll give it to my cousin for her 6th birthday in July.

yep...more christmas cards. i've had a lot of fun making these over the last couple of days.

anyways, i'm going on holiday in 6 days (yay, roadtrip). i still have a couple more cards to make and a bit more christmas shopping to do. oh and i still need to find someone to look after the mice. hopefully someone at my dad's work is willing to, otherwise i'll have to leave them home alone for almost 2 weeks with a huge bowl of food, and spend the whole time worrying about them :(

 lately i haven't been able to do much scrapbooking coz my dad took the laptop out of my scraproom/bedroom so he could convert tapes to mp3s or something. the laptop holds all my sketches and inspiring layouts, so it's kinda difficult scrapping without it, and he just doesn't understand that lol. but at least it's given me a chance to make some christmas cards, i still have about 5 more to make.

and in the spirit of christmas, here's an awesome song by an awesome band:
