Some layouts to share...finally...

Hi there. Here are a couple of layouts I had been working on a while ago. I realised I had forgotten to show them here. The kids first day of school this year was very exciting for all of us. I kept the layouts simple and rather than using all school themed papers I mixed them up with other ones and tried not to go overboard with the bottle green which is the primary colour in the uniforms - not one of my favourite colours...so here they are...

Also, I started this layout of my Mum a long time ago and hadn't finished it. I finally put a title on yesterday but still have to do the journalling. I love the story behind this photo. I have one of my Dad as well. My parents met in Perth when my Dad was in bible college and Mum lived in Perth. Dad was going home to Esperance and they both thought it would be nice to have a photo of each other as a keepsake. So they had their portraits taken. I think they are total spunks! (sorry Mum if you are reading this!) Here is the layout of Mums photo - not sure when I will get a chance to do Dads.

I have a few more layouts to share but just have to photograph them. Yesterday I had a very special day. Matt took the kids on a day trip and left me home by myself for the whole day to have a break and do whatever I liked. I got so excited (I do love them but need a break every now and then!). I couldn't wait to print photos off and get into some uninterrupted scrapbooking. I went for it and completed 4 double layouts (I'm a bit slower than Lis!) then completed the layouts shown here. I must say it was so good for the soul...and very addictive too!

I'll be back with more layouts soon. PS if you like any papers or products I've used and you would like some, email me and I'll let you know what I've got.
