I am super nervous today as I am organising and chairing a University wide event at Mappin Hall in Sheffield. The event is for all parents and parents-to-be in Academia, and as such is not related to my main area of work (Cancer Research) at all! I think that is probably why I am nervous about it. The event hopes to raise awareness of the issues faced by parents who are academics and to try and improve policies and implementation of the policies in the University. I hope that it will be good...wish me luck!
Here is my workdesk as part of
WOYWW. This is all the papers ready for a scrapbooking session. As you can see I will be using a mixture of brightly coloured papers most of which are scraps left over from previous scrapbook projects. At the back of my desk there is a series of brightly coloured dragon cards which use a digi stamp from a fellow WOYWWer,
Spyder. These are just waiting for Alex's signature before they can be sent. The two stamps beside the cards are left over from Alex's crafting session yesterday morning, and the mug of tea is sadly empty and in need of a refill.
This is the finished layout, about 1 hour from the time the last photo was taken. It was made following sketch #206 from
Creative Scrappers, and features Alex hiding in a ball pit! For me he is my greatest treasure, hence the title of the layout 'this boy...hidden treasure'. I didn't feel that this page needed much in the way of embellishment as the photo is quite strong and so I just used some die cuts (large circle and flourish) and punches (small circles), ribbon and two brads. This layout also fits with
Lasting memories 'Something you Treasure',
Crafty Cardmakers 'for the boys',
SSSS 'a kaliedascope of colour',
CCC 'Ribbon',
PTW 'Anything goes', and
Fussy & Fancy 'Punches & dies'.
That is all from me for now. Think of me between 9.30 and 12.30 today (Wednesday) as I run this event!
Love,
Caro
