A Mothers Love

I have been wanting to make my mum a scrapbook of my sister and myself for a while now, but hadn't found a pattern for the book that i liked. I saw this idea in the latest copy of "Scrapbook Inspirations". I really like the way it all folded up into a 5 1/2 inch square book but unfolded so there is loads of space to put photos. I started out with photos taken when Tanya and I were little.

In this picture I'm the one screaming not the one with the Belgium bun on her head (that's Tanya). I did a few pages with photos of both of us and then a page each .

Tanya's page and my page Then I added a few of us with our Hubby's

Finishing off with a Mothers and Daughters poem (downloaded from the internet).

I hope Mum likes it, I'll find out when I travel up to see her next month.

I had another look at this early on this week and decided to add some lettering to the cover.

Gracie nose you know!!

I just love Gracie's nose there's something about the really short, soft hair on the bridge of her nose that is almost velvety. I loved these papers and as soon as I saw them I thought of Gracie.

She's all girlie and pink looks great on her.

I'd been saving all these buttons to use on something special, something that was just right Gracie is very special to me so this was the perfect layout to use them on.

can you spot the ladybird?

My Beach Bunny - Maggie-Mae

I love these photos. They were taken on the first daylight walk that Maggie had when she arrived on the island. After spending 15 weeks in kennels due to our relocation here i think she was pleased as punch to be out on a walk again, but to be at the seaside for the first time in her little life was just the icing on her cake. Maggie has always been a swimmer right from early on but she'd never been to the seaside so this was a real first for her.

I really enjoyed making this layout, I choose all the bright colours because they are a real reflection of Maggie's personality.

First Post

Hi All

well i'm not really sure what to write about for my first post..........

I suppose I could post a piccy of the double layout i did yesterday.

So here goes.........

With our next Cockers on the Beach gathering just few weeks away, I thought it was about time I scrapped my photos from the last one we held back on October 2007. We took so many photos at the gathering it was hard to choose just a few to use, so I decided to use a layout where I could use loads of smaller photos.

Looking at the layout now, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. however I think I'll make sure i use a ruler next time as at a closer look some of my photos aren't quite as straight as i would have liked.

No ladybird on this one, i just couldn't find one the right colour that would blend in nicely.
