Just a little craft dappling!

Over the Christmas holidays, I almost caught up with my kids photo albums and journals, I am now only a year behind.  AND, I have printed the photos, so ready to go again at any moment.

I spent the last week sewing!  My youngest needed a library bag, so I made both girls a bag.  It has their names sewn on and a pocket in the handle for their library cards.

I also made curtains for the cubby house, stitched a baptism card, made a "Nanna's Legacy" album for my mum's birthday, made many fruit straps (dried roll ups), and lots of pasta sauce from the many kilos of tomatoes we have grown.

Now that school is back, I can do a few more sewing jobs, and then back onto my albums (that is until I start work... which is.... soon-ish??)

Scrapbook page

I have only recently started dabbling in scrapbooking.  I love the idea of it.  I love how it looks, but struggle with how many pages I will need to include all my photos, and let's face it, it does cost a bit!  So, I am only doing special days- the rest of the photos are in the album, but just stuck onto the white paper- with labels or journalled bits- not fancy in the least. 

I like the simplicity of this page.

Exploding Box Card

I was asked to make a birthday card by my MIL for her niece.  Of course, it had to be a special one!

 

A pretty safe bet she didn't see this one coming!!
