I used this 'Starting Point' from SHIMELLE
and came up with this
and then, using this sketch from SKETCHABILITIES
came up with this one
I have left the journalling blank once again, but will be able to fill it in soon, as the Birthday Girl is having a pre-birthday, post-exam break here in just a couple of weeks time....beds are going to be in short supply here by the end of the month!
Thank you all for your supportive messages after STORYTELLING SUNDAY... as SIAN commented, 'what a wonderful bunch of people scrapbookers are'...to that I add bloggers too!
Thanks for dropping by!
take care of you
Alison xx
Beautiful layouts Alison. I love the one from the sketch.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely LO's for your niece's album :)
ReplyDelete2 more lovely layouts,Alison.
ReplyDeleteIt's exciting to see the blank spaces for journaling and to imagine her pleasure as it gets filled in!
ReplyDeleteYou may live "alone" but not too often!! Great job Alison :)
ReplyDeleteLove these layouts Alison. I adore Shimelle, and her starting points are fab. And you really did an amazing job with the sketch.
ReplyDeleteBy the results, it looks like you are having a wonderful time with these photos. And I couldn't agree with you more about grandparents and grandchildren being gifts to one another-that was certainly the case with my parents and my youngest sister's children. Mom and Dad were as good as a second set of parents and the grandkids added a lot of joy and (hectic) activity to their lives.
ReplyDeleteI love the Great Grandparents page. So pretty. Your niece is going to love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pages and such great colors! A new baby in the family is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMake sure to take a photo of the completed album, won't you? It is coming to gether so well and your pages today look fantastic!
