So how has everyone's week been? We've been quite relaxed but we've done a few things as a family. It's also been Craig's birthday this week ... number 47 to be exact. A little bit scary thinking we are getting closer to 50. But after all, it's just a number right?
When I first decided to print these photos for scrapping, I thought "what paper will I use" ... I did remember Kaiser had recently released their range Hummingbird, but to be honest I wasn't that fussed on it. Anyway, elements of it suited my layout so I went with it. The background page is a piece of Bella that I've had from a few years ago. I knew when I bought it I would use it one day hehe (isn't that what every scrapper says?)
These two are some serious sweeties. My son Cam is about 5 months younger than Amelia. Our friends Stew and Teesh had two girls, and we had the two boys. Their other daughter Issy is about 5 months older than Bai. So all the kids have grown up together, and they are pretty solid, good little friends. No romance ever I have told my boys - I value my friendship!!!
These photos were taken on the 23rd December at Stew & Teesh's place for our yearly Christmas catch up. I absolutely love the photos ... the kids were great for my new camera and got some of the most adorable, gorgeous photos ever. I certainly had a hard time choosing which ones to scrap.
Melissa K loaned me some of her Spellbinders while she is away so I used the circle scallop die cut ... they're so pretty. You can't really see the embossing - but it is there. Such a great product, and so easy to use are Spellbinders dies.
When I was fussy cutting the yellow leaves, it bought back a flood of memories of when I would sit at Kaiser when I was on the DT, and cut out stacks of stuff. I don't enjoy it as much as I used to, and am avoiding it. My cutting is definitely not as neat and precise as it used to be hehe.
I'll be back next week with a new layout. Hope you all have a great week planned ahead. My hubby is back off to work - and I'm truly going to miss him a great deal. We've had some good fun together. Take care of yourselves.
