Holidays

Finally got round to posting - still having computer problems have reinstalled everything and have switched and reinstalled browser and it still seems to be very hit and miss when it comes to blogger grrrrrrr. Anyways not really had much time to get on here the last few weeks anyway, as I've started my college course - doing my AAT at night school so that keeps me busy 2 nights a week. Also been away to Turkey for a week - it was lovely so nice to get away and relax in the sun.

 

It was so lovely, had a view of the mountains from our room.

I want a pool at home (well a pool and nice sunny weather lol)

And a picture of us :)

Anyways I've managed to get a few projects done, still loads to do but finally feel like I'm getting somewhere with it all. Anyways this is one of my first projects, it's a mini album for my friend for her wedding, it's been finished for weeks but I've still not remembered to get it in the post doh - brain like a seive at the moment.

I kept the colours and embellishments the same all the way through so it didn't get too busy, just lots and lots of gems, red daisies and red ribbon. Here are a couple of the pages

 

I would like to enter this project in the ABC Challenge - A for Anything Goes

Right well that's me for now, really hoping that this will post and I'll be able to catch up on some of the posts - fingers crossed lol XOX

Pixels

Just a quick post cos in the middle of tea.

Yay I've got my photo editing program installed so I can pixelate the photos of some of my scrapbook pages so I don't get in trouble with the owners of the babies lol. So I can finally show you the card/mini book that I made for a friend when she had her little girl.

I love these layered word albums, this one was done to make a mini album (but I have seen them made as cards too), it had pictures of her first week, and the usual date of birth, weight, mummy and daddy info.

The Front Page

The last page

The back cover

Supplies: MAMBI baby paper pad, Papermania clips and metal charms, Flowers, Ribbons, Gems

For something a bit different I added information about her star-sign, the chinese year she was born in, gem stone for the month etc etc which I know I had in the baby book my mum had made for me. Before she was born I gave her mum the idea to have everyone guess boy/girl, date of birth, time, weight. She then added future occupation. Her future god-father said next female PM or a lap-dancer, what was funny was that when I was looking up the info for the back page was that on the ideal occupations bit the first 2 listed are politics and entertainment. Not sure which is best of those two (I guess it depends on whose legs she's inherited) lol.

Right I'd best get going my tea awaits XOX
