Unruly PaperArts and Addicted to Stamps
I have never been a fan of scrapbooking or journaling but since looking at some of the challenges I am beginning to see it can be a nice way to pass the time.
At Unruly Paperarts you are asked to create a scrapbook page and as an extra challenge include some journaling. Fortunately they had an article explaining what that was so I have had a go. My own writing is so bad these days that I have printed my text onto acetate--hope that counts. Fastened it on with some sandy looking brads. The peel-off letters I stuck on acetate as well. If someone had asked me if I had any letters peel-offs I would have said no and when I searched I found hundreds :(
At Addicted to Stamps they have a scrapbook challenge each month which got me started on scrapbooking again after not doing any for ages.This month the challenge is holidays so I couldn't wait to get started.
I digitally painted a sand/sea background for my page. Added photos and the great tickets that my friend Janet sent for me--thanks Janet.

Sorry Kylie for my title being the same as yours--mine was going to be 'Girls just want to have fun' and I had all the letters ready and then they wouldn't fit in:(
This is a little feature--I left the top of the one of the photographs unstuck then added a few more pics into the 'pocket' they can be easily pulled out with the shell shapes.
Best thing is it brought back wonderful memories of a great time we had last year and also thoughts of a few weeks time when they are coming to stay with us again :)
Hi Chrissie. This is fabulous. Love everything especially the little pocket with the extra photos. You definately should do more scrapbooking.

Like you I'm not a great one for scrapbooks just making pages of the cats now and again. Love your fresh happy family page and the way you have tucked some extra piccies behind is a lovely addition XOXO Zoe

I'm so happy you went back to scrapping as this is a wonderful page. You created such a lovely beach/water background, and I love the shell "pull tabs" on the extra photos. The journaling idea is wonderful. Thanks for being Unruly and entering the RAQ at Unruly PaperArts! Helene
