& ME @ RAGLAN BEACH

When looking at this months sketches I saw that the first two at Scrapmuch were very similar

 
and so I used similar photos

just this time it is me at Raglan Beach instead.... same time, same venue... and again one black 'n white and one colour.

And because it is me... a bit more flowery.

JEFF @ RAGLAN BEACH

Love the sketch over at Scrapmuch

 

I have used these photos of Jeff when we were over at Raglan Beach for our 25th Anniversary in April.... I like the way I have used a coloured and black 'n white photo.... I had two coloured ones but enjoy mixing the two.

Again I have used the lovely Stampin Up Winter Frost DSP.

MISS JOHNSON

On a recent trip to Auckland, Jeff & the kids went to MOTAT  (Museum of Transport & Technology) and Monique has her photo taken in the school room......

Sketch #49 over at My scraps & more sketches worked perfectly for these photos....

 

 all very appropriate really as she is training to be a teacher...

I am really pleased with how it all came together, and Monique loves it too.

It is amazing what you can put together with a few "scraps" paper.

Thanks for visiting.

49 TODAY

I love multi photo sketches and so when I saw this on over at My scraps&more sketches

 

I was very keen to partake in this challenge
 
 These photos were taken when we were down in Nelson ..... and taken on the day of my 49th Birthday.  I saw this title in the silhouette library and knew it was just the perfect title for this page.... when I show Monique (my daughter) her response was "yeah right!"    I think it is just perfect... and that's what counts.

I have used the lovely Stampin Up Winter Frost Specialty DSP... which is currently available in our Holiday
Catalogue.

ME!

As I have said previously I am trying really hard to get in front of the camera instead of always being behind it....
The Sketch over at JAI....
JAI Scrap October 

worked really well with one of these photos....

 Kylie was in charge of the photo at this time.... It is a bit up close and personal... but not all that bad (if it was it would have been long deleted by now).

I have turned the sketch around and I am really pleased with how it has come out.

5 DAYS OF NELSON

In September Jeff and I went down to Nelson to visit our daughter, Kylie, and to celebrate our birthdays.  Both Kylie and I September babies.

For the photos of this holiday I have done them in the "project life" way... being divided pages and then I have done a couple of special 12x12 pages ....

...... rather than post all the pages separately I have a collated 3 pages to show you all...

 
 I really enjoy doing this type of scrap booking as it means I get to show off so many more photos.   It is like doing lots of very mini pages.
