Happy to help helping_hubby, although my style seems to be quite a bit different to yours!

Just popped on to your blog, you've got some good makes on there, I'm now another follower! :beer:

It would be good if we could get some other of the Liberty Cottage scrapbookers on here, giving us some tips and showing us some of their layouts too.

Yes, I have a habit of going very simple and clean I think. Too clean. I'm trying to work on this. But I get scared of putting things on the page! Also I just feel that nothing I have co-ordinates with anything. I need more craft stuff!

I bought some Black Magic Core'dinations a while ago and I finally got some fine sand paper today. Hopefully I'll have some time this week I'll have a chance to emboss some and try sanding. Have no idea how I'm going to use the paper though.

Quiksave - its when I look at other people's layouts that I get intimidated - I decided to make a card instead - I find it easier at the minute because there's a smaller space to fill!!!!

Helping-Hubby - love the metallica page - that green looks fab against the black background!! Your other LO is lovely too - very subtle and classy! I always feel that my pages look too plain but I never know what to add to them!

Maybe, melissa, to start you off you could follow sketches like helping_hubby. I've never done that but fancy the idea. I would like to put less on my pages not more!

helping hubby - what beautiful pages :T
I intend to really do it 'proper' this year -do a sort of family scrapbook for my two sons for christmas covering all sorts from my childhood through till now..........bit of a chore maybe but if I keep it fairly simple I might be able to get it all in.
Must keep an eye on this thread;)

Quiksave - I've tried using sketches for my cards and they really help - I don't think I've ever tried with a LO - I'll have to give it a go!!!!

You should join Liberty Cottages (jamtarts) BY2010 project. I'm not really following it strictly but it's good to have some support and we're only doing 1 page per month. Although I'm trying to squeeze more in.

Hey guys

Complete scrapbook novice here............and I mean complete! Hoping someone can help me though, I was thinking of starting small........maybe a little book of quotes or something? I have lots of papers and some embellishments from some other projects. My problem is that I dont know where to get the little book thing (see I dont even know what its called!) I have tried looking on ebay but since Im not actually 100% sure what Im looking for it makes it hard :rotfl:

Can anyone help me?
