A little bit of scrap to brighten the day

Had the day off yesterday which was lovely because Sunday was such hard work! My boss is on paternity leave, so there's lots to do! I'd been admiring Leanne's gorgeous pages over on her blog and had to have a go scraplifting one...mine looks rather different now but all the inspiration is thanks to her! This is Leanne's page.

And this is my page...


I did a similar grid background with 3 pieces of patterned paper and like the slanted picture and journalling. This photo was taken of Grannie's 80th birthday, she looked so happy and twinkly all evening!

This is the rest of the gang...



I saw on SJs blog the 12x8 photo on a LO idea- her page is beautiful...just had to be done with this photo of our meal, maybe one day I'll be able to scrap as well as SJ but I'm quite pleased with this first attempt...as usual my in-laws are messing about but it shows everyone having fun!


In other news: We put the deposit down on a new flat today...yipeeee! God is so good, we'd prayed for a new flat that would be just right for ages and we got one...it even has a fireplace! yay! I'll show you some pictures on moving day...think the living room may need some bunting...I'm off to investigate!

bye for now! x

Neeeeed to scrap!

Grannie - in- law has just turned 80! We had a lovely meal together and I can't wait to scrap the photos! Feel like I haven't scrapped for ages!
