Hobbies and Crafts

Hi all,

I'd love to get started on scrapbooking, wpuld it be possible to view any of the blogs? Your descriptions of the works you have done sound very nice

Hi all, Linda thank you for your kind words, I always view the pic I want to take from various angles, when I was learning photography many many moons ago...lol.... I was told to use a card frame to look through before taking the actual pic, and it is still in use today sometimes the different views show an entirley different aspect of your subject, of course different cameras make a difference too.the new ones these days are very good so you dont get a lot of camera shake, practice practice practice is the answer, but now doubt our lovely Ann will have more advice her pics are always spot on...
re; cardmaking, if you can scrap you can make cards, so go for it , what have you got to lose, be sure we get to see them please happy crafting...

AG I have some pages out of a scrap book mag you are welcome to have if you want p.m. me your addy and I will send them on...you will get hooked in no time there are some pages on Anns blog and I have some 8x8 pics to send so you can see how easy it is ,

love Jean xx still learning ....xxxx

Amazing Grace I have sent you the url for my blog.


Linda, what camera do you have? A lot depends on how good the camera is. Does your camera have a zoom?
When you say your photos are not as good do you mean not as sharp? or not as well composed?
What sort of editing do you have on your pc for photos?

If the photos are not sharp they either may not be in focus or the camera may have 'shaken'. If the latter try to brace your elbows against your body when taking, or lean on a wall or something. Of course we should all use a tripod but I don't suppose we do. Would you believe I can't find mine anywhere so that shows I don't use it.

Anyway, let us know the problem, or even send me a photo of yours and I'll try and help. Let me know if you have not got my e mail because you will need to e mail the photo to me.

Jude I have sent a few more photos for your blog.

JAN good to see you, I'll give you the addy of my blog if you'll give me yours Lol!!! How are things with you, how's the house. Glad youa re still crafting and do visit us more often.

How is Mags by the way as well?

goodness Jan that blog of yours is very professional looking, mine is more or less thrown together as people wanted somewhere to showcase their work to other GR members. You have progressed well in the crafting world too haven't you, well done.

Hi Ann,
I seem to be unable to find your blog, I have tried the address you gave me it takes me to a page with lots of blogs, does your's have a special name? need help, I tried putting uk after the au but it still went to the same place..Marie.

Marie the blog is actually called Anjie Scrapping and crafting. Try pasting the url into word, press return then press control and click the mouse at the same time. That works for me sometimes.

The house is at last resembling a house , Rick is as we speak decorating one of the spare rooms
. Cant belive our Grandaughter is now over a year!! She was a little poorly and had a spell in hospital she is mended now touch wood.
Glad you liked my blog I love it , its like my holiday home lol I spend so much time there :-)
Mags is good funny enough Im seeing her tonight

Just wanted to thanks all you ladies who gave me advice some time ago on making my first scrapbook for my nephews 18th birthday.

I was really pleased with the end result and, more importantly, so was he!

Pammy, well done, It is great when the recipient is as pleased as you are. Will you go on to make more now?
