Dinosaur Passion

Here is a layout I completed a couple of days ago. Lachlan loves dinosaurs, in fact, he loves any animals. What 3 year old boy doesn't love tearing through the house, with a dinosaur in each hand, helling at top note Rrrrrrrrrroar" !!!!!!

He spent so much time playing with them. They went to bed with him, sat quietly on the floor while he read a book or watched a DVD, went outside to play in the sand pit and even went shopping with him.

As a rule, I don't like my pages to be quite this busy but I had a set of Basic Grey that fitted in with a "dinosaur" theme and after all, I was looking for a rugged look.

Ben's Mini Album

Here is a little mini album I made for Benjamin's 1st Birthday. They had just spent a week down on the Gold Coast and my daughter Debbie phoned to tell me that she took plenty of photos with "Scrapbooking" in mind, bless her little heart !!

Like most kids these days, they have so many toys but fortunately, both Benjamin and Lachlan love to read books, so I thought that a mini album would be a good idea. It would be something that he could keep.

I spent the best part of a day in Rockhampton searching for the perfect papers. One of my downfalls is that I am too particular in what I look for. Close enough is not good enough. Ahgggggg. I finally settled on two different sets of papers but when I got home, they didn't match the photos all that well so.............I ended up using papers that I already had at home. LOL.

Mini Album

Earlier this year I made my first mini album for my very best friend. The photos I took back then were pretty average but last weekend while I was staying with Trish, I managed to get some better shots.

Since 2002 our friendship has grown into a strong bond and for her last birthday, I want to give her something special to show her how much our friendship means to me. It turned out completely different to how I first imagined it would be but I really liked how it turned out in the end.

When I walked into her home last Friday, there it was sitting on the sideboard. I made a comment about it being brought out because I was there but Trish assured me that that is where the album always stays and anyone that comes through the front door gets to look through it .
