I have had a husband working late and weekends for a few weeks now - we have both had enough now! So my week has been a bit all over the place. I have been trying to keep my sanity but we all miss Dad and are getting very frazzled.
I have been scrapping and scrap lifting a lot. I am behind. Because I didn't scrap when I was pregnant with my second bub I am trying to catch up. I know most people would say don't bother, but I actually enjoy it. Mostly I have notes to work from that go with the photos and sometimes it is fun to just write a memory down with a photo of the era not necessarily the moment.
I just received my last lot of photos to scrap to be caught up or close too. There is a lot but they are so much fun to look at. I will share some as I get them done.
Below are some of my pages from October last year.
Sorry it is not wonky in real life. It is a lift of Di Herman's page 8.5 x 11 page called Winter. I am pleased how it turned out. The story is about our everyday jobs Kate and I often do on Friday's.
Next is just a photo I loved, capturing our time hanging in bed in the mornings.
Who doesn't love it when you can just hang out in bed in your jammies!Oh sorry it is a lift of Nicole's page and it is just stuck on a 12 x 12. I was really happy with how this came together. Love the colours and sometimes a direct copy just works. Last one for tonight. I have some more but it is getting smokey here and I have to check out where the local bush fires are, we back onto bush and are close to national park area too.
Not sure this photo does the page justice. I am really happy with this page and the colours. It is about how Katelin sleeps in a sleeping bag and she had just gotten concerned about where her feet go. Such a cute memory and I am sure she will think it is funny later on. This is a lift from Di, who I think lifted it from Nicole.
Anyway happy weekend - good one for indoors and scrapping in this heat.
Next post I will share a layout of my girls room and a canvas I have made for her.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my clog today. Stacy's tags are just bulldog clips with metal rimmed tags tied to them and a pretty piece of ribbon attached. She has punched out circles of coloured cardstock to write her categories on. They are great aren't they - I'm planning on doing a similar version for my albums. The course doesn't start until the 12th of Feb so there is still time to join if you'd like to....I'd love to have someone I know on board to discuss the course with as we go along.....no pressure, but have a closer look and let me know if you decide to sign up. I absolutely love the pages you've posted here! Aren't Di and Nicole fantastic sources of inspiration?! You've done a beautiful job with these - I love the colours in the last one - and your title looks awesome too. Great work.
Hope you are keeping cool today. It is ferocious here. It's 45C, with a roaring north wind and I can smell smoke in the air.....the sky is glowing yellow. I am very worried. Stay safe. Anita. xxx
Sorry Shannon, just went by Stacy's blog and saw that registration is closed. Bugger! I will keep you posted on my progress with the course and maybe you'll want to take it next year......please excuse me for calling my blog a "clog" in the comment above! I hate typos! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in these pages Shannon!And the photo in the fridays page is lovely...really need to take one like that with my girls!
