You may have arrived from Courtenay Heuston in Australia or this may well be your first stop, but either way, you are very… Read More »
The last time I made a scrapbook page was the last Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop I took part in – isn’t that terrible!? This summer has seen a multitude of packing and unpacking with a house move. However, I am delighted to have finally unpacked my craft room so that I can create and take part in this month’s hop. Our theme is What little Boys are Made of,… Read More »

You may have arrived from Cynthia or this may well be your first stop today, but either way you are very welcome with me, Eimear Carvill. I am a Stampin’ Up demonstrator in Wiltshire UK and… Read More »
I just received my Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday. I must admit that I was not expecting to love it as much as I did. For me, this kit is worth it for the stamp set alone and at £20, it’s an absolute bonus to have all the card bases, envelopes, ink spot, adhesive and embellishments included!! Today, I wanted to show you a Hugs from Shelli alternative… Read More »
I had this idea in my head for a while and today was the day I decided to get inky! I saw a Pinterest page that I loved and wanted to do something similar for this fab photo of my little girl jumping in the air. Instead of just using a stamp in the background I really wanted to give colouring embossing paste a try. It’s super easy and really… Read More »
I’ve really gotten quite a kick out of scrapbooking my favourite photos recently. I don’t know about you, but I like to scrapbook a particular favourite photo and use a memories and More pocket scrapbook system for a series of photos. I know a lot of people do one or the other, but I like to mix and match. That’s the beauty of scrapbooking, there is no right or wrong… Read More »
Saturday was International Scrapbooking Day so I took the opportunity to create a quick page of a favourite page of my little boy at the beach. The Best Route Memories and More cards were the perfect colours to match his digger, the sand and is shorts! I do love using Memories and More cards in my memory-keeping, but they also work great as quick and easy cards, here is an… Read More »
This month, we are using Spring Flowers as our theme for the April Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop.

For my page today, I have chosen two different Spring Flower products; the Colourful Seasons stamp… Read More »
This month our theme with the Scrapbooking Global team is to create a Mixed Media Scrapbook page. You may have arrived from the lovely Liz Yuille, or this may well be your first stop on today’s Scrapbook Hop but either way, you are very welcome with me, Eimear Carvill, a Stampin’ Up demonstrator in the UK. I have to admit, I hadn’t really a clue what Mixed Media involved and… Read More »

I got to choose the theme and with Valentines Day being in February, I opted to make a Love and Marriage Scrapbook page.

Welcome to our very first Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop and welcome to my blog. I am Eimear Carvill, a UK based demonstrator. I’m a fairly new convert to Scrapbooking but loving it so far and jumped at the chance to show you my take on this months’ sketch. I chose my photo first and based my choice of supplies around this photo. It was taken after we hung a swing… Read More »
Yes and Why Not?! Lately, I’ve been really enjoying creating scrapbook pages. In fact, I’m so obsessed with looking at images of pages on Pinterest, my Pinterest feed is now full of them! I saw a layout recently on Pinterest that I wanted to recreate with Stampin’ Up! products. The DSP and ribbons have recently retired but the two stamp sets; Artisan Textures and Tabs for Everything are current. Artisan… Read More »
The Let’s Get Hopping team are hopping again today and this month’s theme is Memory Keeping. There are many different ways you can preserve your memories, whether scrapbooking, using Memories and More pocket pages or even creating your own albums from scratch. For this month, I decided to make a Rooted in Nature scrapbook page. Rooted in Nature is not the only stamp set I’ve used, you may noticed another… Read More »
Welcome to the Let’s Get Hopping May Blog Hop. This month, we set ourselves the challenge of making a set of cards that could be given as a gift. I made something yesterday but I really wasn’t satisfied with my project. Being really pushed for time, I had literally a 15 minute window to change my project or I had to go with the original one. I am eternally grateful… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme this month is April Showers. This month we are joined by the very talented Artisan Rhoda McPherson, delighted you are hopping with us Rhoda. I have ‘loosely’ interpreted the theme this month and have used the fabulous Sunshine Wishes framelits together with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks to create a scrapbook page. The photo was taken in Cornwall last… Read More »
I’m getting into a weekly routine with my Scrapbooking. It’s not as quick as Memories and More, so I don’t want to replace my favourite Memory-Keeping method but this Delightful Daisy scrapbook page is going to be a perfect feature in my album. I’ve used both the Delightful Daisy DSP and Daisy Delight stamp set with it’s matching punch to embellish my page. This stamp set and punch are available… Read More »
I’ve been scrapping with my friend again and this time I wanted to create an Epic Celebrations Scrapbook page to scrap a fab Chic concert from last summer. My sister treated me to the gig in London and we had Triple A passes – hence the close-up photo of Nile Rodgers! No long lens needed, we were that close! I followed a sketch – well, let’s rephrase that… when… Read More »
I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for almost 5 years now and I have never made a traditional scrapbook page… until now! I love Memories and More and am more of a pocket scrapbooker but my friend Vic, set me a challenge to complete a traditional scrapbook page… and I did it. I piked a DSP and stamp set that I felt complimented my photos and my Pick a… Read More »
