THURSDAY, APRIL 30TH, 2015

Here is the reason why I have been absent for so long from my blog.

I have been studying for my "Life in the UK" test so I could eventually apply for my UK Citizenship.

And I have to say that I am over the moon that I not only passed the test but more recently, that I attended my naturalisation ceremony at the local registrar office and have been sworn in as an official UK citizen!

This is a life event that is definitely worth documenting!

I feel like they're not the best pictures of me but as a scrapbooker and the picture taker we have to learn to become more comfortable in front of the camera as well as behind it, so there you go!

Happy Scrapping!

JUST BAKE IT OFF LAYOUT

TUESDAY, 17 MARCH, 2015

Well, it seems like once I got going with creating traditional layouts that the creativity just kept coming. 

So I went with it!

Sometimes if I want to get completely lost in the process of something I will do a bit of baking. I find it a bit therapeutic. I seem to be able to switch off and get completely absorbed by whatever I'm doing. Like I'm sort of on auto pilot, which is nice.

I have to say that the inspiration for the title for this layout came from Taylor Swift and Jamie Oliver somewhat. They did an advert in the UK for Stand Up to Cancer sung to the tune of her song 'Shake it Off'.

It's really quite cute.  You can find it here. Hence the title "Just Bake It Off".
