After an absence of a couple of months, my scrapbooking bug has returned. Maybe it was something to do with being stuck inside all last weekend, but I was on fire, finishing 5 single layouts, and 1 double layout (including getting started on my 2008 in Review album).
I was inspired to start this 2008 in Review album by the latest copy of Simple Scrapbooks. I liked the idea of doing a layout for each month, with some bullet-point journalling. It allows me to scrap photos that I might not otherwise scrap.
I don't really like how this layout turned out, and it was one that I had sitting ready to go for ages. I did some experimenting with texture paste (to adhere the 'australian' ghost letters, and to stamp the question mark), but I didn't really like the messy way they turned out. I chalk it up to practice.
This is probably my favourite layout from the weekend.
I have never scrapped a layout about myself. So I thought as I'm almost turning 30, it might be an opportune time. Jason took this candid photo while we were waiting for Renee to get her camera for the photos on the following layout.
Renee and I had a great time when she came to stay for the Australia Day weekend. I loved catching up with her and having a lot of laughs (and food)! The layout used one of the TLC Hot Fudge kits, which I'm not a huge fan of, but it really suited these photos.
This layout also used a TLC kit, but one of the older QuikPage kits. Again, I had this photo and kit set aside for ages, and finally finished it.
