In the beginning...

These are the first few pages from my Dad's 60th birthday album. I am using a 6 x 12 format, and a Halfmap sketch from Pagemaps. I am loving how quickly it is coming together, and I am using up alot of scraps from my scrapbox too - the only thing I have purchased for this project so far is the album itself - a 6 x 12 Landscape album from Bazzill!

I have done a few more pages to my Learn something everyday album too, although I have ground to a halt again after nearly catching up... Life just seems to get in the way... Oh and the fact that I am helping Jemma make an authentic looking 1800's highland croft out of a shoe box and copious amounts of raffia.....

I have also been rekindling my love affair with Pink Petticoat this week, I have lots of their CDs and downloads for papers, image stamps, bag and box templates and sentiments for card making and other papercrafting projects. I have been printing out, colouring in and punching out lots of lovely images, just need to sit down and make them into cards !! I have just got the new Lola Rose image stamps too, and have printed off some christmassy ones and birthday ones for me to sit and colour in tonight whilst watching Michael Palin embark on another journey;)

I got the stamped images back from the Bella stamping swap I was in on UKS, and again I had a ball with the watercolours! I just need to make those cards up now too LOL
