The Promise 6x6 Mini Album

Hi all

Today I have something very different and new to share with you all, well it is not a new creation to make but is something new for me to make, A beautiful 6x6 mini album which I have made by hand.

I have really been looking forward to sharing this with you all and have been working on this beauty bit by bit in-between my other projects and Design Team projects.

So here it is The Promise 6x6 Mini Album

The cover of this beautiful mini album has embossed designer series paper on the front and back and a beautiful pearl flower trim down the edges.

Now for the inside of the mini album

As you can see there is plenty of space on the pages to add photographs, journal-ling and much more each page has an insert which also has room for photographs and journal-ling.

This mini album has been made from scratch including the album cover, this has been made with a lot of love and care and I am so proud of this piece as It is my first ever mini album and most certainly will not be my last

This would make a perfect gift for a wedding due to the beautiful papers which have been used all the way through the album.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at this mini album as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to life and I hope it gives you lots of inspiration.

The Great Orme 12 x 12 Layout

Hi lovelies

Welcome back to another of my scrapbook layout blog posts. Todays post carries on from the Pistyll Waterfall layout.

On the same day of going to the waterfall we also went into Llandudno for the day and went to the top of The Great Orme, what a spectacular view it is and I loved seeing the Hill Of Names

Here is my layout

For this layout I used some of the now retired Up and Away Designer Series Paper

Thickers

Glitter Card

Doilies

Paper Snips

Tombow Glue

Craft Foam

Stampin Trimmer

I hope you have enjoyed seeing this layout as much as I enjoyed putting it together I thought the paper I used for this layout fitted it perfectly.

Pistyll Waterfall 12x12 Layouts

Hi all

Today I have a couple of scrapbook layouts to share with you all from our visit to a beautiful waterfall in Wales.

Here is the first layout of us at the Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall

We had a wonderful day out in Wales and this waterfall was beautiful to see, just a shame that while we were there it was raining

Now for some close up shots of the layout.

On this layout I used some of the Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers which I think fitted these pictures perfectly. Behind the last photo I slotted in the parking ticket we saved as I knew I wanted to include it on this layout.

Now for the second Layout of the Waterfall

Of cause we both took plenty of pictures it was just too beautiful not too. We only got to look at the waterfall from the very bottom and look up to the top as to get to the top would have taken 20 minutes walking, which due to having fibromyalgia was a no go for me :( boooo.

Now for some close ups

Again I used some of the Tim Holtz Small Talk Stickers which I thought fitted perfectly with the layout and pictures. I also used my corner rounder on the pictures.

Products used for both layouts:

12x12 Papers

Tim Holtz Small Talk Stickers

Flower Stickers

Thickers

Corner Punch

Foam Tape

Tombow Glue 

Paper Trimmer

Canon Selphy Printer

We also visited The Great Orme in Llandudno on the same day which I have also done a layout on and I shall be sharing that with you on another blog post. I look forward to sharing that layout with you all.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my two layouts and they inspire you.

Cherish Those Memories

Hi all 

Welcome back to another of my blog posts.. Today I have some more Scrapbook layouts to share with you all.

So here they are:

Grandad's Girl

 This layout is of me when i was a baby and toddler with my late Grandad, I was the apple of his eye and he was my everything... Best Friend, Hero and like a second Dad to me. 

This layout is of my Nan and Grandad

These wonderful people helped to raise me and what a fantastic job they did I wouldn't be who I am today if it was not for them and my dad. All I have ever wanted to do is make them all proud especially my Grandad as he is no longer with us. It is so hard some days without him. They loved and still do love each other un-conditionally the greatest couple I have ever known and love.

Like Father Like Son

And last but by no means least here is a layout I have done of my Dad and Grandad. They are so alike it is un-canny everything about them. My dad has so much of my Grandad in him even his ways from sense of humour to being a family man and more.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing more of my layouts which I did on Wednesday while having another scrappy day with my bestie... I sooo blame her for me getting HOOKED on doing this hehe.

I will have to admit thought that some of these pictures have been so hard to do a layout on not because of how to bring it together but due to the cherished memories and looking at my Grandad knowing he is not with us in person anymore. There will be a few more layouts to do with my Grandad but they will be the hardest of all to do.

Until next time :)
