Easter 2o11

 Excuse the poor quality of photos, I only have  a very short window of time while Jameson sleeps!

  

Mmmmmm... pretty shiny foil colours...

 

Well I got 'egg'cited, and decided to make the kids/friends some little easter 'baskets' filled with cheap eggs for easter.  I think they turned out well, I spend quite a bit of time cutting them out (on the cricut) and then sticking them together.  I think they look quite good!  Hopefully the kiddos will like them.

Happy Birthday to Jake

Our friend's youngest baby turned one yesterday, so I made him birthday card.  I really love the colours and how well they all came together in the end!

Happy Birthday wee Jake! x

My Thirty Years Of Smiles Album

For my thirtieth birthday this year, I decided that instead of the normal photo montage that you would normally have, I decided to make a small scrapbook to pass around at my party.  I picked up a GORGEOUS 8x8 gatefold album, and was wanting to  do something special with it, so I thought of a collection of 'me' photos that I could really show.  I decided on smiles.  Thirty years of smiles.  Cheesy I know!  (you will have to forgive the dodgy photos, it was hard to photograph this album as it was so full!)

Look at that goodness just bursting at the seams!

It can't contain itself any longer!  It's going to blow!!! ^_^  I couldn't resist covering up the front with that gorgeous paper!

Just a few snippets of pages...

 It's such a unique album, with 5 pages on each side, which you open out whichever way you like... I just love how 'interactive' you can be with it depending on which way you fold it.  I should get another one and be creative :P

This is the back of the album, I couldn't resist covering that too, as well as the two front insides!

Door Signs!

So I received a new Cricut cartridge the other day, and making a few animals I got inspired to make some door signs! 

These were sooo fun to make, will definitely be making more of them!  xxx

Jameson's Second Album

 

 

My Beautiful Family - Album Part II

One of the professional photos taken of Jameson when he was 10 months old :)

One of the very first photos I took with my new camera, Jameson was pretty young!  I called it protective, and the photo of this layout doesn't do it justice.  xxx

I do like the grittyness of this layout, the ripped paper really does it for me.

My Beautiful Family - Album

Title cover for the album - excuse the wonky photo!

Little Jameson gets into so much trouble, this double page is tribute to his many bumps and bruises!

Double page layout for Jameson's birthday page, on the first page you can see the invitation which was a mini book filled with photos and tags!

Jameson's lovely cake and photos with Dad!

 I love these photos of the little guy, very cute!  Toys are so Tasty!

Layout of Jameson with my Father!

The Story of Laura and David...

Simple but effective layout (I think!)...

I love this one, just simple yet tells a beautiful story.  xxx

Part one of a double layout

Part two of the double layout.  I went a little crazy with individual borders.  The whole pages are very heavy as you could imagine!!!

A fairly recent layout for this particular album!!

Double layout of my old home in New Zealand, I get quite homeseick for it a lot, especially lately!

The metallic paper didn't quite photograph properly, but you get the gist!

Scrapbook About Mum

Scrapbook about Mum...

She was so beautiful, it's hard to put into words sometimes...

The letters 'creative' were covered in paper by me, inked and it probably took me about 3 hours all up just for the letters alone.

Remembering Dragons...
