Hiddy ho!

We have had a relaxing few days!
Both yesterday and today have been pretty low key... and I have loved it!
I am still cleaning and sorting my scrapping area as I go however I have been scrapping as well- woo hoo!
First share- Rusty...he is just too cute not to scrap! I could eat him up, he's so adorable! Infact he slept on my lap, while I scrapped for about two hours on Saturday! I have heaps of photos of him so expect to see more!

Next, I scrapped this mini album. This was a class that Erica Glover taught over at Scrapboxx last year sometime. I bought the kit however missed the class so thought I would finally get around to making it up. Inside the album are decorated tags ready for photos and journalling. Cute huh?
OK-this album I decided upon today. Despite the fact that I have been scrapping for six and a half years I am WAY behind in my scrapping. Sometimes I don't think I will ever catch up with the back log of photo I have.

So.... I have decide to scrap a sort of visual diary for this year. This is a 7x7" album, which I made myself and I'm going to scrap things of importance through out the year - birthdays, holidays, achievements, special events etc. Whatever I feel like putting in there.

Excuse the missing letters in 'favourites' but I really wanted to use those particular letters and I am missing a few- grr. I will add them! I am also missing a person. The yummy Basic Grey rub ons that I used had a Dad, a Mum and a boy and a girl...well my family has a Dad, a Mum and two girls ... so I will get another packet of those yummy rub ons and add another girl- LOL. Notice- two dogs (Chloe & Rusty) :)
Here is the inside cover- not sure if I'm going to add anything more or not.
Taa daa- here is my first page. I wasn't sure whether I should start with our New Year's Eve celebrations or not- I can still go back and add them if I choose however I decided today to scrap a photo I took of 2008's first sunset!!

The album is held together with two metal rings so I can add as many pages as I choose to. I decided to make the album 7x7" so I could easily add 6x4 photos in either landscape or portrait.

And lastly- this is a kit by Clair Bremmer which I bought through Blue Bazaar. I had every intention of having the mini album finished before Christmas so I only had to add the photos- yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

Well, I have now done the front cover- taaa daaa!!! The girls and I are off to Bunbury tomorrow for a few days R&R with my Mum and Dad so I'm taking this with me and hopefully by the time I come home it will be all finished!!!

That's all for now.

Stay safe.
