My First Dt project for Scraptivate





Well.......I've been given the OK, to show my 1st DT project for Scraptivate. Natalie gave me a great kit, which had in it, a Prima Canvas album. I was a bit nervous at first.....I had never decorated one before (although I do have one tucked away in my stash).....but it was great fun !!!!! Inks, paint....stamps.....ANYTHING....I had a ball !!!! I glued, stamped and stapled on every spare space......
I decided to do a Heritage album....I have loads of Heritage photos.....and have been involved in tracing back, and recording my family History. For me it could be an old song, a whiff of old lavender perfume....or the smells that remind me of when I was little. I remember, many times....Mum cooking something or other, and her saying to me......I remember MY Mum....your granny.... making this when I was a little girl. These are the memories I hold close to my heart.....and having lost, my beautiful Mum, nearly 3 years ago......They are precious to me.....and I want to keep these memories alive for "my" daughter. Now some of the recipes in this book....I probably wont recreate.......such as the "Haggis".....But it is a part of my family Heritage....and needs to be remembered !!!
My Recipe book has many pages....so please call in to Scraptivate to have a closer look........Or if you have a "hankering" for Haggis......feel free to copy the recipe !!! NOT !!!

I am currently working on my next DT project.......and really looking forward to this one !!!!! Its base is one of my favorite things.....
So....when it's finished.....and I get the Ok from the boss......I'll be back to show you.....Meanwhile....have finished a few Twiddleybitz projects, but not allowed to share yet !!!! So ....Bye for now.....
