    Hi Scrapbookers

    People that have seen my blog will have seen this but I thought I'd show it on this thread.

    It's a very simple type of scrapbook with no journaling because it was made as a gift for my children's great grandma's 90th birthday (So simple I made it in just over one day!)

    I used a ringbound chipboard album that I simply covered with scrapbooking paper, photos, basic stencilling and a few embellishments:

    Some of the other pages:

    and another couple of pages:

    There were some other pages (not shown)

    This was the back page:

    It just shows you (and me!) what you can make for others at the last minute (well, day!) if you need to ;)
    I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful

    qwiksave - thats brilliant :T Can't believe you did all that in such a short time

    I'm still to get out and get some more ink for my printer so I can copy some more photos for the ones I'm doing for my two sons
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    This thread seems to be unloved :(

    I've been scrapping still and I've updated my blog for the first time since March :o Been doing the Document 2010 pages from UKScrappers. I've finished May's. So a bit behind. I've been using the kits from Scrapaholix, a crop I've been going to.

    No progress on my wedding album. However I'm hoping I will get time to do some as I'm having a baby and start maternity leave after Christmas, so I could have a few weeks of free time to do nothing but craft :D

    Hope everyone is well :)
  • I love both card making and scrapbooking.

    helping hubby -your scrapbook is beautiful:T

    I've just finished two for my sons......they're sort of 'family tree' ones and I've left the first page blank to put some sort of phrase or quote in and for the love of me can't find anything that's really what I want. Any ideas of sites where I might find something ? I've tried the usual 'quote' ones and there's a lot of small ones but none that say what I want to say if you know what I mean:)

    Have you seen these Mary?

    I guess it's a deeply personal thing but a few of those hit me as relevant to me :)
