This was the first page I ever did. It took me for ages, fluffing over trim, cropping images, and trying to piece it all together as one unit.

Ephemera use in scrapbooking

Here I have used Dove of the East's trim, Prima Marketing acetate, Crafty Secrets images from their vintage booklets, Anna Griffin embellishment (fabric). This page I did for my Auntie (I don't have kids so I scrapbook her kides), and she loves ephemera but didn't trust herself to use it in her scrapbooks, so I did it for her! ... She liked it.

Angelic Days

Oh, I know my scrapbooking is not the conventional style, I love lots of detail and unusual objects on my pages .... here an ostrich feather, rubons, silk and paper flowers, rhinestones, even stickers!

Prima Marketing

Here I have scrapbooked a friend's family trip to Whangarei in New Zealand. As a fashion designer I adore using some fabric in my scrapbook layouts. Just a glimpse of toile. I love flowers too, and 3D effects.

Prima Marketing Paintables

I have just started scrapbooking using a range of ephemera (e.g. relief die cuts, vintage pictures from Crafty Secrets, etc).

Because I am new to scrapbooking I have developed my own ideas, so hope other people like them. Let me know what you think.

Here I have used Prima Marketing's paintable sheet coloured with Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels) and also some old scraps taken from a scrapbook I found at a flea market. I removed the scraps by first soaking in cold water for about 10 minutes, then gently removing them from the paper.
