"Hello, Grandma"

This is a very simple layout done using a metallic marker. The title doesn't show up very well on the computer, but it's clear enough on the page.

Wheels on the Bus

This uses some printed journalling that I typed up on the computer and torn cardstock.

Older Pages

This is my favourite layout, with the first ever pictures of Zia.

This one isn't a very good layout, but I was more interested in getting all the photos on the page than in making it look great.


Neat and simple ...


This was a fun one to do.


I downloaded the lyrics from the internet, but did the journalling by hand.


These are such cute pictures. I like the multicoloured shapes, cut out to match the photos.


This is just cute. I love the middle picture.

Honorary Grandmas

This is the first time I've used patterned papers for a layout.

Choir Practice

I might add some journalling to this, but I didn't want to miss out any of the cute pictures. I'll decide later!

I made the keyboard by hand, just cutting out rectangles of black and white paper. I think it looks very effective.

Pretty in Pink

From the Dollar Store:

- 'BABY' cutouts are confetti-style shapes.

- Title is from a vellum sheet of phrases, stuck over pink cardstock.

- Words are stencilled in coloured pencil, using tiny decorative metal 'tags'. Not really intended as stencils, but they can be used with a lot of patience!

- Butterfly punch. The butterflies above the photo are cut out of the pink card so the white shows through.

All the butterflies are raised off the paper, using tiny pieces of the thick sticky 'dots'.

Fun
