Beamish Woods

We have always liked to get out and about for a good walk with our dog Star. The pandemic put a hold on that for a while. The world is slowly going back to some kind of normal and so today we went for a walk in the woods

The woods we walked in ate Beamish Woods only a 10 minute drive ftom our house.



Looks like this tree may have suffered from a lightening strike at sometime in the past.



Star was loving all of the new sniffs.



She had great fun



I spotted this nest in a tree. I'm sure it is to big to be a crows nest. Dave thought it might be some kind of raptor nest. So long as it's not the Volocoraptor type I'm OK with that



There were lots of diffetent twisty paths to go along



I was getting a bit worried about what might be following us as this is like a scene straight put of Jurassic Park.



Bit of a splash about before we headed home.

We had a lovely walk  but it did make me realise that lockdown has done me no favours, and I am now very overweight and very unfit.

When we got home I got out my My Peak Challenge Programme and have decided that from tomorrow I am going to start off with some yoga and some calorie counting. I really do need to do something 😕

Christmas Mini Album Page 1

Today I have done the first page of my mini album. It's a simple gatefold page. I cut the page to 7.5x7.5 ins. The two side flaps are cut at 5.5x5.5 ins and scored at 1.5 ins on the short side. I stuck the flaps at each side of the page to form the gatefold. I chose complimentary papers in traditional Christmas colours from rhe Classic Christmas Collection by Hunkydory. I cut all of the papers .25 of an inch smaller than the pages and flaps to give a border all of the way round. If you are using magnet closures remember to place them before you add your decorative papers. If you would like to see a video showing how I made this album page here is the link  page 1 I have also done a short video showing how I add my album pages which you can find here  adding pages to album Until next time Happy Crafting

Christmas Mini Album

As part of my Christmas in July Event I have today started work on a new Mini Album The papers I am using for the Album are The Classic Christmas Collection from Hunkydory. I have the Hunkydory at Home usb so I can print as many sheets as I need which is a good thing. I started with the cover today. The album is 8x8ins so I cut a piece of gold mirri card 7.75x7.75ins to go on the front. I then cut a piece of paper from the Collection 7.5x7.5ins and stuck it on top of the mirri card. I chose a topper to match the paper to add to the front. It's worth adding here that I cut the topper out on my scan and cut. All of the Hunkydory at Home toppers have lines that in the original die cut toppers were where you popped out the different layers. If you scan your sheet and use the direct cut function your machine will recognise these lines as cut lines and cut the toppers out perfectly. I added handmade paper poinsettias and Holly leaves that I had in my crafty stash. Now it just has to dry ...
