Some challenges to share ...

The NCJS group had its monthly Cybercrop two weekends ago and I finally had the opportunity to get some scrapping in (even with a trip to the country on the Saturday!)

This one is a double page using more than 5 photos. Keeping it simple and uncluttered was my goal.


This layout is based on a monotone design - the photograph of my Great-Grandfather is in beige tones so I decided to keep with that colour in different shades.



I thought I'd save time and do a Digi Layout - not as simple as I thought. This one took me about 2 1/2 hours (I did lose my work once when Photoshop crashed!) It was a bit of a play - not quite turning out as I imagined but I learnt some more things along the way.


Till next time ...

Happy Birthday Chris!

It's my baby boy's birthday today! Well, he's not really my baby as he is 36! But, for all mums, we know that our children will always be our babies no matter what age they are! Chris is my eldest and my only son. He is now married and I am waiting to hear the big news that he is going to be a father.

Here is a layout of Chris aged 4 - he only rarely had a sad face but it usually meant he felt really sad!

This next layout is one page of a double - I am still waiting for Chris to give me back his baby photos so that I can scan and scrap them. It shows his growth over 35 years.

I spent this afternoon at Paper Heaven, with my wonderful friends, doing some scrapping. Each month, for the past 20 months, we have been meeting to focus on an album that is about our lives - we are the About Me group. So, it has been a natural progression for all of us to get to know each other very well and to become buddies! I was doing some photos of 70's weddings! Love the fashions! Will share them when they are complete.

I'm off to complete two cybercrop challenges, courtesy of No Crap Just Scrap and the generous Anna Costello from Anna's Craft Cupboard. I always love a good challenge!

So, till next time ...
