LoopyLinz - looks fine to me........:T

Been doing one for mums friends niece -yesterday sorted out photos of mum -that was the easy part..........sorting out all the little embellishments I want to put on that compliment the photos was the hard part......................can't believe its taken me nearly all day. Mind you had to sort through them all..........OH bought them for me for Christmas so it was a real mixture. Think I've sorted it now............not much more to do except add some ribbon to the front cover and couple more flowers.

Loopylinz - the photos are quite small, so apologies if you have done this already (I can't see), but I would put some journalling on the page, and dates and names (even if estimated). You may know who or what the pages are about, but if someone inherits them later they might not have a clue.

Onw way of journalling is adding text that goes all the way around the photos. See if I can find an example...OK I can't find exactly what I mean, but this i the jist: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/userfiles/352421/Whistler(WEB).jpg

I'm having real crafting block at the moment. I'm struggling to do my BY2010 page. I sewed a flower onto the 12x12 page and now I don't know what to do!

As for Februarys Document 2010, all I've done is print the photos and chosen the colours (going for pink and black).

So much to do.

Anyone live near Fleet, Hampshire? Scrapaholix are starting up a club there one monday a month. Am thinking of joining, but am scared!!

Finished scrapbook for Mums friends niece :j She'll be thrilled with.............least OH says she will...........lol
Got bargain on Sunday at boot fair -found 12 x 12 scrapbook for 50p.............no paper or anything but its a really nice one. I really ought to get started on one of them (3 big ones waiting in the drawer)............not sure where to start or quite what to do.
Was going to do 'family' type going from my Mum to present day but then I thought for my two boys I could do an 'all about you' scrapbook...........photos of them from baby onwards................umm..............might have to toss a coin to choose

On the plus side - thats £25 more in your purse. I'm sharing one with a friend - under strict instructions that I'm not allowed to open it unless she's there
