Scrap Stuff & Me

I thought it might be fun every now and then when I do a post on my blog, not just to share scrapping stuff, but to tell you something about myself (when I have the time). Sometimes big stuff, sometimes just something random! So this weeks 
'About Me' is..
.Do you know that my name isn't actually Georgia? Well not legally anyway...My birth certificate will tell you I'm Georgina. The name Georgia came about when I first started working as a teen and I got one of those funky little name badges, well they missed the N and soon enough everyone started calling me Georgia. Apart from actually preferring it, there is one big thing I noticed that not adding a N in there does. Everyone just uses 'Georgia', not every variation known to man that comes about when you are a Georgina. 

I got called "George" which is fine if you are...


Or there is "Georgie", which is only cute if you are...


or my all time hated variation "Gina" which brings about images of....



So apart from a few old time rellies, no one ever calls me Georgina (or variations) anymore...thankgod!

Now onto the scrappy stuff lol. This is a layout I did for the December sketch challenge over at Handmade By Suzanne. I have used the new Echo Park Times & Seasons ( yes it's not Webster's Pages lol) along with a few hybrid elements. 






Well time for me to get my ironing board out, hope everyone is having a more exciting weekend than mine!!! TFL xox
