What a fantastic scrapbook bunbun and sooo quick as well.

I think i`m going to look more carefully at my camera`s settings, but I tend to get confused and forget alot of the time what the different settings are for, so I end up giving up with it and just stick with one setting.

Made a layout tonight, not my usual style as all the pages I have previously done are quite bare in comparison! but I quite like it.

Honest opinions please

Rusty that is beautiful!

Im still 'crafting away' my living room resembles..........well I had probably best not describe it as its a disaster!

Am making a little heart shaped chipboard book for my sil. Getting there........slowly.

My local craft shop is closing down and currently have a huge reduction on just about everything! Paid a brief visit on Tuesday but DH was waiting in the car outside so kinda felt slightly rushed!! Am going to go back tomorrow with my super talented nannie (an unbelievably fantastic card maker!) and spend lots of time looking and buying!! :j:j

They had some beautiful 12x12 papers were 90p a sheet an they are now 6 for £1.50!!! Not sure what I will use them for but hey its good to have a little stock! Or at least thats what I keep telling myself!! HaHa!

Was wondeing if any of you make your own scrapbooks? I have been looking at some of the chipboard ones and my daddy has said he will have a go at cutting me some. Just wondering how I join them all together?!

Love your pages Rusty. How do you do the scallopped edges? Or did you buy it already like that?

I've done my BY2010 February page but need to wait to the end of the month before I post it.

I'm currently working on Document:2010 and doing January's pages. This project uses page sleeves that have 6 6x4 pockets, so it's quite fun I think.

Rusty - thats brilliant. Your really giving me some inspiration:T

Rusty - your pages are fab!!! I love how you've torn the paper on the first one - and I love the colours on the second - Maddison's coat looks great against the brown cardstock.

LoopyLinz - you are lucky getting all those bargain papers!!! You could join your scrapbooks either with book rings (after punching holes) or ribbons.

Thankyou ladies I am trying with them, OH likes them both which is a good thing considering they are in his scrapbook :rotfl:

the scallop edges I bought in a big pack for £9.99 from craft superstore. I gave some away to my friend Jane and still have loads myself! ... only used a couple of them!

I have pictures of DD on her first day at nursery and the same for DS on his first day in year 2 so I want to try and do 2 pages exactly the same but a mirror image so they can sit side by side and the only difference hopefully will be the picture Need to think it through first though!

Rusty - sounds like a great idea.
