I'm pleased to have rediscovered the urge to create a few more 12x12 pages (although that's not to say I haven't enjoyed working with pocket pages recently). I added one double spread to this year's album about Guernsey - there was no need to add more, as the trip is recorded in its own album. … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #8

It's been three weeks since I posted about about a scrapbook page (or two). That's because I haven't done any scrapbooking. This week, however, I set myself a target of two layouts.I saw a post on Shimelle's blog about using triangles on a page and there was a sketch to try.

To round off the 4x6 Photo Love series, it was a case of getting 12 photos on to a layout. I didn't think I'd like Shimelle's idea of creating a stack, but it turns out I do.A good way to take care of numerous photos of The Boy Child opening presents. I must share with … Continue reading 4×6 Photo Love: Twelve
