And I finally finished this mini book, all about dd1's day out at the sea for her birthday this year. Not sure if she will keep this one or give it to her friend who took her out, so may have to make another one soon!















Had a lot of photos from my sister recently, so here are a few pages done for her!

Her dgd1 wanted a fairy themed birthday this year, so got a few good photos for this!

More tags for 52Q challenge.
44 - what was I doing this time last year?
43 - which is my favourite holiday?



Here is a mini book I made for my dil as a memento of her pet rabbit Winston who had to be put to sleep recently at a grand old age. He was a present from my ds to her in the early days of their relationship, and was a much loved pet!






















Two small tag books for my cousins, inside are photos of their parents taken years ago. Unfortunately when their parents were widowed and their lives moved on they got rid of all their photos so the children had no reminders. These photos were in my Mum's albums.

As it has rained most of the day here I have spent my time scrapping these photos for my sister.


This week's challenge on UKS, to scrap about something you take for granted, this beautiful canal, always available for walks whenever I feel like it, use old stash, think I have had that mosaic paper almost since I started scrapping, and the paper clips are a few years old, use a vibrant colour, orange couldn't be more vibrant, and use circles.
Have been very remiss at uploading for the last couple of weeks. However I have completed Shimelle's Learn Something New Every Day, but won't bore you with the pages.
