Love this paper!

I think thispaper must have been brought out especially for my scrapbooking. As many of you know I'm making a dance scrapbook album(s) for my dancing granddaughter Molly. I've already filled a 8.5 x 11 and having done that size once,that was enough. I really can't get the hang of this size but it was a dilemma regarding the size of the following album. 12 x 12 was a bit too big and would take up a lot of storage space so I decided to go with an 8 x 8 size instead. So, as I said these 6.5 x 6.5 paper pads from Kaisercraft are ideal for this size layouts.

Here are a couple of layouts that I made with this " On Stage" paper. The first one is a bit of a scrap lift of one that Pam Thorburn made for the Merly Impressions blog.



I can see this paper together with the "All that Glitters" that Kaisercraft have also brought out becoming very useful to have with all these dance photos!

Crop Time

I was really ready for a lovely day at Merly Impressions crop yesterday. I've had the decorator here for a couple of weeks so scrapping has been put on the back boiler. As usual we had a lovely time with two fabulous layouts designed by Chrissy using the recently released Shine Bright range

For the first time ever ( I think) I managed to virtually finish both layouts at the crop. I had a little retail therapy at the wonderfully stocked shop so I went ahead and made a couple more layouts last night.....strike while the iron is hot so to speak!!

This one I made with some of the papers I bought yesterday, another recently released range called Oh so lovely lovely lovely range and very girly and delicate.

It's hard to believe looking at this photo of Emily that she was 14 last week, how time flies!


Just one more that I made with some spare bits of paper of Sophie to fill a gap in her album.


That's it for today,thank you for popping in.
