This layout took me 6 years to finish...

When I finished this layout in 10 mins (after starting it so long ago) I had a giggle. How come I had left it half finished when the photos were so cute?  The products used are from a birthday kit but I hope you can excuse me for not remembering the name after all those years. The layout stars my now 11yo son, Jack, turning one. Putting the finishing touces to this layout sure too me back in time...

New start to a baby album...

Since stopping scrapbooking five years ago alot has changed in our family namely, a third child, Tom.  Tom, who is an outgoing and fun 2 year old,  needs a scrapbooking album just like the other two children.  So I have started...

Kaiser Craft Skull Lazy bones patterned paper; Grace Taylor Blossom Pack orange paper; Tristan Tags embellishment card "Story Time"; Prima Alphabet Stickers



There is nothing like scrapbooking a baby album and I am delighted to be able to unexpectedly scrap one again. Thanks for stopping in for a peek...

My scrapbooking bug...

...has returned!!!  I am so excited to get back to scrapbooking after a 5 year break.

What changes will there be in the way I scrapbook now compared with then?
 
1. I will not use paint or emboss as it was the mess of this that took away my love of scrapbooking)
2. I won't scraplift as often and trust in my creative abilities
3. My layouts will be more simple and less fussy. I have had a laugh at some of my lumpy and really bumpy pages from back when. I now think dominoes are too fat for pages but I had to try right?
4. I won't spend as much money on embellishments. I have discovered the world of free printables.
5. Journalling boxes, boxes and more boxes. I can barely remember seeing these 5 years ago.

My 13 yo daughter has a passion for dance and I have a gazillion dancing photos to scrap.  Here is just one:

Grace Taylor Blossom Scrapbook Pad, Kaiser Craft Hummingbird Sticker Sheet, Papercraft rub-ons

I have posted a little about myself in the About Me link. I am hoping to get to know some cyberscrapperbloggers. Please say hello...
