Precious Pages

Yes it’s been a long long long time since I’ve been on the blog but I’ve been so busy with work, uni, the new man and basically life in general to try and do a bit of scrapbooking.In that time I had Precious at the panel beaters getting her re painted and all pretty for me, I was away for a two week course in Wollongong for a mollusc course at Uni and one thing after another.

So here’s the first page of Precious after she’s been painted and brought home to me.Started with a piece of white Bazzil, then the photos matted in black. The houndstooth paper is Heidi Swapp with the numbered piece of paper is KI Memories. Towards the right hand side of the page is the most busiest. I have used three ribbons across the page all from back in the day at Blossies. I still have quite a stash! The alphabet I have used is Heidi Swapp hot pink adhesive chipboard, it’s really getting toward the end of those letters, anyone know where i can get more from?! I’ll certainly be using more hot pink with these car pages. Pushed through one of the knots of ribbon is a Bella! pin with a gem on the end. In the bunch of “stuff” on the bottom is A Kaiser felt heart, Spotlight heart and button, black button from the stash, a hot pink felt flower with a rose on the top is covered in Stickles to make it look more sparkly. The black flower and pink sprig is Green Tara and the other hot pink flower I can’t remember! I’m out of the loop now and need to get back to it! At the top of the page is another rose with stickles and the tag is a Bella Blvd sticker. It is attached to the page with hot pink brads.

The second page created today was a few photos of when I was away in Wollongong studying, it was quite hard to be away when i knew my baby would be getting done and i couldn’t come visit like i did before. These are photos my sister and the panel beater sent to me while I was gone, there of course was more but they wanted to try keep it a secret until i got back. I used a piece of lace i bought from Spotlight and a ribbon back from Blossies. The alphabet is Pink Paislee (small letters) and Bella! for the larger ones. A few buttons next to it to just keep the page simple and focus on the few photos.

As I have many many photos of the car as she was getting done it was hard to choose photos to use and with the amount to get them all scrapbooked as part of the whole story. So instead I’m using up some pages from We R Memory Makers they have slots in them for photos so I’ve cut up mine and fitted quite alot into it, and because they aren’t the most glamorous photos but show the progression of her it was a great way of displaying the photos. Of course i haven’t finished these; still have to journal and add some bits and pieces to them.

I will be back on here soon!
