Bathtime Ari

Ari’s childmider is on holiday in September and Mummy work in education so is not allowed holiday so

Ari is going from pillar to post being look after by various family  on Tuesday it was my turn .

At home they only have a shower or the Belfast sink in the kitchen so the big bath at Nana’s was an adventure

There were  baby bubbles and some ducks to play with.

The book was cut at 9″ on the Cricut I used the deep cut blade for the first time

it worked OK but did not cut through the mount board I was using so it was finished off with a scalpel

The pages   were made from 1 sheet white card sandwiched between 2 paterned  papers

the papers were from QVC and I bought them when I first started crafting.

I cut a total of 36 ducks to make this book

Filled it with photo’s and embelishments

A record of a funtime

He was back on Saturday showing Mummy how much fun it is in a big bath,

My Tag Book – Baby Tale

Filed in Mini Books

 

Mel81pop is a very talented scrapper and she has a number of  friend who are at various levels of Scrapbooking from beginers to quite advanced, to help those starting out she has been holding classes and as we all enjoy a good chat and some new challenges I went along  below are  the pages from my tag book  started during the class and finished at home.

Here is the front cover of my book, The title was set by the alphas I used, as they were too big to fit Babies Tale on the cover.

The reason for the book was that there had been a lot of babies this last year or so, we had managed with only the one Grandchild for 14 years and then like buses 3 came along in quick succsession. Don’t get me wrong I would not part with any of them but it was all babies so to be able to compare them all easily I made a book of babies,

  

Starting with my Husband Roger in 1948

Then there was me  in 1957

Then our first Daughter Laura 1976

1978 saw the arrival of Abigail

Then in 1982 our son James

First of the Grandchidren was Philip in 1995

More pictures of Philip  

Then Nathaniel arrived a brother for Philip in 2008

Then in 2009  a little sister for them both with the arrival of Zoe

Then a month later Ari was here 

This was a lovely project to do and for a little book there are so many surfaces to  add picture and embelishments too, Thank you Phillipa

Tiddy Jiggy

Filed in Jigsaw Pieces

 

6 X 6 Jigsaw Swap this is the third anmd last part of the Jigsaw Swap we started with a 12 x 12 then we did an 8×8 and lastly we are doing the baby one at 6×6.

 

no1 is Frances’s Klimt, she posted a pic of how our pieces should be here and she has said, “I fancied a jiggy that glowed!”

no2 is kikimama23 * Nature/Texture and she said, “I want a lumpy/bumpy touchy feely jigsaw” and ” I don’t think I have any preferences, I love most colours”

 

no3 is sabulous * Masquerade – W’eve got her piccy for inspiration and she said: “Thinking masks etc and very colourful…”; “I’m thinking lots of colours, bits&bobs and different textures/materials. And masks of course”

4.Terris Chocolat’s theme is Ammonites – “Natural colour Browns, Beige, Taupe, Black and greys. Fossils can feature as well the Fish skeletons and Trilobites kind please”

5. Pip = ‘wings’. “Be as imaginative as you like but could it be vintagy please rather than too modern other than that I’ve no preferences”

6 mel81pop = metal grungey -pieces “I would like metal grungy – and also I am not going to use my pieces to reform the jigsaw – they are going to be embelllishments in a mini book for my teenage son – so you can do them any way up, back to front and have anything sticking out, or hanging down (yes please!) – as chunky as you like thank you”)

7.nettyb, a Steampunk theme – “Victoriana meets mechnical – pretty roses, butterflies, corsets meets cogs, clockwork bits and bobs etc. ”

8. dusty fairy = flowers please –”i’m thinking metal,ribbon,felt,clay etc etc pretty flowers really girly please,lots of colours and texture please”

9. ginger66’s theme is Vintage Love again I’d like blues/reds/pinks/metallics. Lots of texture, embellies, altered
