Hi these are actual photos (telelphone box & guard) not very pleased with this one to be honest,the layout isn't right, Still learning.the union jack is clip art printed off in various sizes for baking photos. The paper is just plain card. the bus isn't named as i get lots of embellies from craft shop and in clear pkt the bus was 2 for 60p. gd buy I thought loads of stuff like that. The bean paper from my candy papge is from a spring stack by DCWV as is the other paper used hope this helps. keep up the great work ladies.oops sorry and gentlemen

I wouldnt say that Dawn. I think it looks very good. I realy like what you have done with the picture of the guard and telephone box. This maybe an idea that I can include in some of my holiday photo. But the one problem is I need to go on holiday to get the photos first!! Laughing

I thought I would post this picture as everytime, either myself or my mum take my scrapbook to the shop for a scrapbooking demo many people comment on this.

It is a picture taken from a bridge looking over the town of Benodet (France) and out to the Bay of Biscay. I actually cut up the photo into the sqaures to make the mosiac affect (i did number the squares though to ensure that when I put them back together they where right!).

Wow, I love looking at scrapbooking pages!!! I'm too scared of doing it wrong so I have only done a couple * very embarrased*
These pages are BEAUTIFUL Dawn, They works really well together and I've just sat here looking at them for about 10 minutes and Im sure I could more much longer!!! I just keep spotting new things!!! Like the brads in the corner of the animals page and the glitter on the EM page!

there really is knowthing to be scared of, its all about playing around with different layout etc. I would suggest to do this before comitting with glue/double sided tape! Also there really is know right and wrong, after all it is your scrapbook!!!

I have found that if you only have one copy of a photo it can be best to scan then into your computer to take a copy (to be on the safe side!).

Thomas Very Happy

Thank you I have only been doing this a few weeks I'm sure you can do it too have a go! I keep looking at lots of peoples work too it's so nice i thought Terrie's was also beautiful.

I bought A camera for christmas and this makes life so much easier but I have scanned lots of my boys picks so if i do make a mistake i haven't lost the picture, and I do spend ages with all the bit's like a jig saw trying to fit it but as people keep saying there is no right/wrong way it's if you like it, when you have finished

I've got the "How to Scrapbook" book from Search Press from CC. Its got lots and lots of ideas for layouts etc within it, in fact it was this book that made me do the Mosaic picture.
