Sall the Crafty Baker

I'm rather nervous of this as it's a gift.  I  know it will be well received, I know it will be appreciated but what makes me anxious is that scrapbooking seems to be out of favour, cards are popular with the odd bit of altered art or jouranling but the days of scrapbooking seem to be long gone.  I don't really know anyone who still scrapbooks, maybe the odd one or two but that's all.  I just I guess I'm worried this is one more thing to alienate me from everyone else and the pressure for what I should be making feels huge right now.  I don't really want to give up on scrapping, it's something I enjoy but I do feel conflicted at the moment.  So here's the latest scrap album. 

I wanted some "hello" cards and they needed to both quick, easy and look good so I opted for my trusted  Hobby Art  stamps. I stamped, heat embossed in white embossing powder and then sprayed the watercolour card with water before adding brushos. 

Last Thursday marked the first of hopefully many more Thursday Adventures.  I took myself and the camera to see the sea and the autumnal waves were magnificent.  There was a fabulous piece at the mouth of the river Axe that combined with the incoming waves created an almost whirlpool that had me transfixed.  As ever stormy weather had created a lot of washed up debris.  I was saddened and almost shocked though at the sheer number of cuttlefish remains in amongst the debris.
