Paper bag books and more layouts....

... I finally finished it - yay me !! The infamous paper bag book of our cat, Pickles. It covers the first year of her life, but somehow I don't think it'll be a yearly occurence, seeing as it took me nearly a year to finish it ROFL!!



I used 3 paper bags for this book, and the main thing I used for decorating the book was a DCWV cat stack, plus some extra cardstock, and some ribbons.

Managed to do 2 more LOs this week, so my LO totals are looking pretty healthy at the moment :)
This is another LO using my 1973 Christmas photos....

I based this LO on a Jan 08 pagemap, converting a 12 x12 map to 8.5 x 11 :) The card is bazzill, the paper and alpha stickers are Basic Grey Fruitcake, and then lots of blossoms, primas, snowflake brads and a bit 'o bling!!

This next LO is based on a December 07 Pagemap (that Becky Fleck is a heroine/genius in my eyes!) The photo was taken in the Storm Room in the Antartic visitor centre in Christchurch, New Zealand. I don't think Mark was quite prepared for how cold the wind machine would be LOL. Plus he was at a small disadvantage in that the coats the centre provided for you to go into this room were too small for him and it didn't do up at the front.....

The card is bazill again, the papers are Sassafrass Lass, and the alpha stickers are Making Memories velvet stickers....

I also managed to use my Sugar Nellie stamps to do the Christmas thank yous from the kids - I printed a short letter on the back of a 6 x 4 plain index card, and then added a stamped image and "thank you" on the other side :) Typically I was in such a hurry to get them in the post, I forgot to take photos.....
