Well it's a new year and I've decided to try my hand at a bit of scrapbooking!!! I've never been a scrapbooker but then 18 months ago I wasn't a card maker either, and it's a new decade so time to attempt a new challenge!!! I decided to use some of the gorgeous DPs and embellishments I had in my DT pack from The Stamp Spot - and came up with a page for my first DT day back there - this is an 8"x8" layout - start small - LOL - I have a whole Debutante Ball album to begin soon........
I had also bought some wonderful Kaiser rub-ons from The Stamp Spot last year - I've always loved the look of rub-ons but have had "issues" transferring them properly - but these worked fine - maybe because I didn't leave them to last and then worry I was going to stuff everything up if I messed it up - and then messed up because I was stressed about it - LOL!!!!
I chose a couple of pictures of my son and nephew spending time together at St.Kilda beach on New Year's Eve - my nephew was staying with us from London so wasn't used to hot walks along the beach at this time of year!!! We had planned to go for a swim after a wonderful lunch and before heading home, but the beach was strewn with jelly fish - YUK - check out this picture of my son dodging them. The storm clouds were starting to roll in so it was all happening - the storm hit later almost causing the midnight fireworks to be cancelled!!! The CS is from Stampin' Up but all the DP's, rub-ons and embellishments are from The Stamp Spot Online Store. I hope you pop over to The Stamp Spot Blog and check out what other fabulous inspiration the DT are coming up with too - the rest has done everyone's mojo the world of good - LOL.

Your page is amazing! you deserve extra credit for creating something so great and not being a scrapbooker :) It definitly has WOW factor. I really must start scrapbooking again, I have been thinking about it lately, but since I found cards it has taken a back seat
Hi Deb,
Your page looks great. The colours are perfect.
I don't think I've ever seen so many jellyfish.
Luvya,

What an AWESOME page Debbie! LOVe the layout and colors! I am SO not a scrapbooker...I am afraid of all that space to fill! LOL!
Debbie, what a wonderful page. Yep, the jelly fish can be a bit of problem hey? They are up here too.
WOW,what an amazing first page,you are a natural!!! The only thing I have trouble with sometimes,is switching from a small 6x6 card to a large 12x12 page so much more room to decorate.....lol.....

Wow. Love the scrapbook page. Great first attempt. Oh how amazing all those jellyfish. I have never seen that before on the NSW beaches. Is it normally like that?. Nice to see you back with more inspiration.

Wow congrat's on your scrapbook page. You did a great job. Whatever you turn your mind too you can do.
Yuk, yuk on the jelly fish. Creepy little critters.
Okay, first of all, you are already a PRO at scrapbooking! Look at this!!! It's amazing! And isn't it fun once you get started? I'm missing my scrapbooking. If only there were more hours in a day.
And look at all those jelly fish. I've never seen such a thing in my life! What happened? Is this common?
