Change of Career - Cosmo Cricket Upcycle

I have been eyeing off these papers for a while now but felt a bit challenged by bright colours particularly girly colours.  So decided to tackle them over the weekend and here is the result.

This a photo taken of me when I was in labour with our 1st son - early stages of course since I was smiling and of course I had an epidural in!  If only I knew just how much of a career change having a baby would be!  TFL !

Boy In A Bucket

Just finished a layout I started on the weekend.  I found the inspiration from a digital layout I saw on Two Peas.  Yes, another nude photo of my son - as cute as we find it I hope it is a habit that he grows out of before he has a drunken night out !  TFL

Some time off to scrap

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas day.  Hubby took the boys to the farm for a couple of days so I went over to a friends house and did a few pages - so great to get on with some scrapping uninterrupted!

Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 - Just love this line - so versatile.!

This one is Webster's Waiting for Santa.  Also really lovely papers.

Echo Park - Little Boy

Just finishing off another of us all on Christmas Day so will be back to post this one too.

Recent projects

Thought I would start a separate blog that was just for me. Hopefully I will find the time to post here as well as the shop blog, Facebook, Newsletter, Two Peas and the list goes on! I think at time we have become social media addicted! Anyway . . . back to the post - here are some recent projects to kick my blog off.

Now, the next one I am happy for you to give me some ideas on how it could have been done better, I think personally the photos should have been smaller, somehow it didn't have the 'look' I was hoping for. Another thought was that it should have had a solid mat around the whole layout? What do you think?

The below project would be a total departure from my usual scrapping style - I have always admired similar projects others have done and thought that looks simple yet striking. Well when I went to put the page together it wasn't that simple - it is amazing how the simplest looking things can take the largest of effort!

TFL - now off to spread the word about my new blog to my friends!
