Twenty twenty

I was inspired by an article by Sian from From High In The Sky to try twenty twenty timed scrapbooking.  It initially caught my eye because it uses the same principle of twenty minute segments like Gilly Cook's keep fit classes but probably less tiring!  

I was at a local crop - so pleased to have found something near to home to maximise scrapping time! - I had about half an hour left which wasn't enough time to make a page so I used 20 mins to plan a page then twenty minutes at home to put down the basics and a further twenty minutes to embellish it.  Well actually it was more like 40 minutes because I did it while I was watching Jenny Jones win her gold medal and had to keep stopping to watch her!

What do you think of my page?

I really liked this way of scrapping and it fitted with my lack of time for complex pages.  I like that I can put things together in a bag with a basic sketch (or one of the hundreds I have pinned!) and then quickly pull something together that is really me.  It shows all the little bits I like to collect and this year is the year of using things up! One in one out policy is in full effect!

Craft space

As every other craft blog I read is full of glamorous photos of beautiful, well organised craft rooms I thought I would share my craft space too!  

I am currently sharing it with a birthday present half wrapped, the children's craft box, a colouring book, the phone and a briefcase/man bag!  I will shortly be moving all this for breakfast to take place :) One day I will have one of those white rooms with lots of cute vintage storage and a desk I can leave things on to come back to, you need a dream!

We did have fun last night making pictures with washi tape though, it is one of those things that I don't mind sharing with the children as I have so much and it doesn't make me wince as they pull off metres of it for each page!  

Can you tell who did which picture?  Art is very revealing of character and personality!
