'Pride and Prejudice' SMASH page

Hi All

 

Most of the day has had me planning lessons, making resources and marking books to prepare for the week ahead but I managed to grab a couple of hours to do a bit of SMASHing!

 

My favourite author is Jane Austen and my favourite novel is 'Pride and Prejudice.' Many of my SMASH pages are dedicated to her but I decided to dedicate a whole double page spread to her fabulous novel as it turns 200 years old on Monday! There are many reasons why I love this novel but the main reason is for the character of Elizabeth Bennett. The 1995 BBC version of the book is my favourite and Jennifer Ehle plays the character just as I envisage her in the book! So my page is a bit of an ode to the book, the 1995 version and some of Elizabeth's best quotations! I hope you like it.

 

 

 

 

(Apologies for the quality of pictures....my camera broke a little while ago and so I am using my mobile at the moment!)

 

I am also going to celebrate the birthday by trying to read the novel, once again, during the day tomorrow.....may be a little challenging as I have work and a meeting after school but I will persevere!!

 

Thanks for popping by!

'Together'

Hi All

Well, here is my first post with some scrapping goodness in! I have sorted out all of my scrapping/smash stuff today....getting myself organised! So thought I would have a go at a scrapbook page....might even do a SMASH page later....creative juices are flowing, best make the most of it!

Here is my page that I have called 'Together.' It is of my husband and I on our recent trip to Canada at the top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff. The views were incredible! I have used a layout inspired by a design in the latest Scrap365 magazine....not sure if I have done it justice though! It is a completely different style to what I normally would do so would appreciate your comments!

 



Hope you like it!

Brand new blog adventure!

Hi All

Finally I have managed to create myself a new blog! I have been having major technical issues but hopefully have got rid of the gremlins!

My crafting seems to have moved in a different direction over the past few months. I have found the world of SMASHing which is so much fun, messy scrapbooks....my kind of style! Love how you can do it however you want and it still looks great, there are no rules! As well as SMASHing, I am loving getting back into scrapbooking and have recently made one on our trip to Canada for my mother-in-law. Will try and share some pictures soon....

I still love cardmaking and I am sure they will crop up from time to time but I wanted to start a fresh with a blog dedicated to my new craftiness!

Hope you will all continue to follow me and I hope to visit lots of new scrapping blogs (as I often need the inspiration!)

Thanks for popping by!
