Layout - Let Your Light Shine Through

Love these photos of Braedon taken last year when he was in a real co-operative mood with the camera.

Can you believe I used the rest of my Daily Grind Papers. Plus lots of other products in this layout, all of which I have tried to list below. This layout has been sitting on my desk for about 3 weeks. I just wanted to finish it before we left on our trip. I love the MME Diecuts and thought they would go very nicely with the pictures of Braedon - the circle diecut I thought was appropriate and stamped the arrow pointing to "sitting", which is very unusual for Braedon.

I still plan to do atleast one challenge before we leave, will see how we go. lol - I haven't even finished packing yet.

Anyway here is the list of products.....

Finally some scrapping

How did that happen p - slip of the finger and the post was posted without any content.

So here are some of my latest layout -Braedon at the beach, I love the hues in the photos caused by the light on the sand. I found some old hessian in my stash, I must have about 2 mtrs of it. We must have collected the biggets bucket of tiny shells which I also used. I'm just waiting on a sea charm to arrive in the post to finish it off .

Again I used a lot of my scrap papers a bit of Basic Grey, Kaisercraft.

The diecut on the left is here in the store. I also used my fav white American Craft Thickers

Braedon now camera shy

Braedon just doesn't like co-operating as much as he used to when it comes down to having his photo taken - gone are the days where he would just smile nicely for the camera. Atleast I got one reasonable pic.

Like the colours in Braedon's new T-shirt. So I took a few pics of him wearing it... Telling him to try and look natural.

Hmmm.................Talk about bunging it on

New Years Resolution

I think I'm in that mode where I don't really know what my New Year's resolutions are...

I'm still thinking about priorities. Trying to figure them out. Some I do know are.

Try and keep hubby healthy.
Enjoy life and be happy - focus on important stuff.
Cherish time with BT, teach him the important stuff -
Spend time with my grandchildren (3rd one due Feb )
On the scrappin front...Will particpate in Craft a Live regional scrapbooking exhibitions just NSw and ACT
Finish off all unfinished projects in between scrapping new layouts. So today I finished off a mini album . Something I started a while back. Random pics of Braedon as a toddler. He was so gorgeous.... still is I mean,,, take a look.

Firstly a different take on the paper bag album which is what I made - unfortunately no pics of the album under construction, but its as simple as..

I used three paper bags.

Fold them in half - so the bottom half folds up to the top. Undo your fold and placed double sided tape down each side (left and right). Refold the bag up. Fold the bag in half now from left to right. Now you have a number of pockets in your album to place tags, other photos or other bits and pieces. If you album is going to be lumpy and bumpy you will need to bind the pages on top of one another.

I filled the pockets with the journalling on different tags. one tag are his fav things at age 2. The other tags are really just stories about the things he used to do.

Caution...If its not going to be lumpy bumpy you can fit the pages inside each other. Decide before you start making your album or your pages may be in the wrong order.

Lesson learnt...... ummhhh the hard way... mine was toooo lumpy
