Cute n Crafty & Birthday Scrapbook Page

Today I went to a scrapbooking class at a wonderful craft shop not far from where I live. I discovered Cute n Crafty about 4 years ago when I found a flyer on my windscreen, they were advertising cardmaking classes, I'd only made a few bad cards at that stage so I thought it might be fun to find out how to make cards properly. The classes were so good & such fun, I've never looked back. The shop is owned by Kirk & Roger who are lovely and very good at making tea! They have a website but if you are ever in Lichfield in Staffordshire, pop in & say hi, chances are I'll be in there too!!!

Just after Issy was born, CnC started doing scrapbooking classes and a real obsession was born. I must remember to forward all complaints from my bank manger to them!!!

Chrissie runs the workshops & is brilliant, this is her looking really embarrassed!

She has been a real friend to me, particularly over the last year which has been hard for various reasons.

Today I decided to scrap some photos of Issy's 1st birthday back in September, unfortunately I wasn't very well at the time, so we had had a very quiet day, just the 3 of us. I was surprised how hard I found it to do the page, Chrissie was great with lots of encouragement and ideas. I didn't finish the page in class but I have finished it tonight

and now it's finished, I'm really pleased with it.

Issy darling - you will have the best birthday party and a really special cake for your 2nd birthday, to make up for not having them on your 1st birthday xxx
