This marathon thing has me obsessed - witness now my scrapbook pages about it!

Pretty much since I came back from Florida I started working on layouts for my WDW marathon album. I think I spent a lot of those long training runs planning layouts in my head for such an album, even though I really didn't know then what photos I would have or what products I would use!

Here's a small sample of the layouts I've done so far (all 9x9):



I love this layout below - I think it shows that this was one of my favorite parts of the race!

The layout below is all about 'Sharpie signs' which were little signs placed along the course on one of the most boring parts of the race. These signs ranged from funny to interesting to make-you-think signs. I wanted to convey on the layout that miles 13 to 16 were really all about the Sharpie signs as there wasn't anything else to look at.





Most of the album so far has been put together using a few elements: Bazzill or DCWV cardstock (cut down to 9x9), Christina Cole, Scenic Route and DCWV papers, journaling block stamps by Autumn Leaves, letter and number stamps also by Autumn leaves, MM wordfetti (sports), Sandylion marathon stickers and Heidi Swapp ghost letters. Oh, and a lot of journaling in my own handwriting and using my trusty Zig pens!

Copacabana: mystery solved

-
It is no secret (perhaps it should be!) that I really like Barry Manilow's music. So I was listening to Copacabana for the millionth time today and I remembered something I've pondered for a long time: why can't anyone figure it out? If you know the story - and you know you do - we have Lola and her boyfriend Tony who both work at the Copacabana. Rico turns up, starts flirting with Lola and the boys fight. Then "there was blood and a single gunshot, but just who shot who?" This is the part I don't get. I mean, it works out as a lovely rhyme but it really shouldn't be that difficult to work out who shot who! There was a single gunshot and we know from the song that Lola "lost her Tony" so surely Rico shot Tony. Another possibility could be that both guys ended up dead, in which case the body that has the GSW was shot by the other one (and in that case, how did the non-shot person die? Punched to death?) For some reason EVERY time I listen to this

Running around Bancroft - photo blog

Inspired by RLSoccerMom over at www.disneyrunning.com forum, I finally got my finger out and took some photos while out for a run... This is my house and where the run started from. It was an unusually sunny Sunday lunchtime and I didn't have plans to run but it was so nice out that I thought - why not? The run took me mainly along the redways which are the pride and joy of Milton Keynes: cycle or walk ways (some are even red!) that criss-cross the entire city. It is possible to get from anywhere to anywhere on these routes and sometimes you don't see any cars! This is the redway that goes along the front of my house and where I started first with a brisk walk to warm up. Not long after I started I got to one of the infamous overpasses in MK. They can be a little scary at night but they keep walkers and cars separate so I don't mind them much. Milton Keynes is pretty flat so this is one of the few 'hills' I have to negotiate on the route. It is hard to tell from t

I could have scrapped all night...

I came back from Scrap-a-ganza Holland with around 10kg worth of new stash – and I consider myself a restrained scrapper. The bulk of the new stuff came from class kits. They were pretty generous (some more than others) but honestly, I can’t complain. In most kits not only did I get enough to complete the project but also enough to do a few more layouts or at least enough to embellish a fair few extra layouts. Everything in the photo below either came from a kit or was part of my welcome present (including that lovely tote in the back!) The hotel was a different one than the one SAG used previously and it was very, very nice. My room was simply enormous, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom very spacious. No complaints there. The hotel facilities were very nice too and I even had the chance to use the pool. The hotel itself is pretty huge and I kept exploring it to find new nooks and crannies. It was all very modern and posh. The corridors were full of light: It was located a bi
