A few pictures

Sorry it's been so long, again, since I last posted! I haven't managed to do any more scrapping but I have managed to take some photos of the album I started that uses the Ciao Bella papers.

I've made a few mistakes on the front cover but these will be covered up once I actually decorate it. I've covered the whole picture of the bird with glossy accents and I really like the affect. The only problem is it caused my paper to shrink slightly hence there are some wrinkles but I can hide them. I was also impatient to dry the glossy accent so I decided to use my heat gun. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying enough attention and it started to bubble as I got it too hot oops! Again I will cover this with flowers or something.

On the first page I did lots of stamping and embossing which I was really pleased with. I have decided that this album is going to be really fussy seeing as though it is for me lol :-)

Anyway, thanks for looking and hopefully next time I will have some more progress for you.

Quick Update

I didn't realise how long it had been since I last posted so I thought I would just check in. Unfortunately I haven't done much scrapping lately. I have started on the album for myself and I had a change of mind about the paper. I have decided to use the Ciao Bella paper by DCWV. It's a 12" x 12" and it really is lovely. I've had it for quite a while and this is the one that gave me more inspiration.

Now for the bad news...my camera has died! I'm gutted as I always like to have it handy to take pictures of my kids. You never know when they are going to do something that just needs capturing and, at this age, they change so much so quickly I like to keep a record going (plus I need something to go in these albums lol). I don't know if I can get it fixed but I'm trying to sort out some sort of replacement for now. I'll try and post some pictures as soon as I've sorted something out.

Well that's all folks
