Old Photos to Scrapbook

I've got so many photos I need to scrapbook, and lots of old papers to use up, especially before the craft show in London.

once again thank you to Shimelle and her Starting point.

For this one I've used lots of Basic Grey's Euphoria collection from a few years ago

This one has a bit of Studio Calico B side and some of American Crafts Dear Lizzy's new range which I absolutely love. Its Shimelle's from last week.

Crazy Hair Day

Maddie had a crazy hair day at school last week to raise money for charity.
she insisted on yellow hair, even though hers is blonde anyway but I managed to convince her to have pink ends.

Las Vegas Wedding

I came across these two photos on Sunday of my baby brother and sister-in-law, I've been meaning to scrap them for ages.  I've been thinking about them a lot lately and can't wait to see them at the end of the year.

I came up this layout thanks to Shimelle and her sketch of the week.

Warm March

A few photos from the past week, we've been making the most of the unseasonably warm weather and spending lots of time outside.  We even had a BBQ tonight, 21 degrees unheard of for March.

12 photos on the 12th of March

I'm not a very good photographer, but I do have aspirations be be a better photographer, one day  when I have more time.  So when I saw this challenge on my Elizabeth Kartchner's website my favourite scrapbooking blog, I decided to give it a go.  Just 12 photographs, I tried to take the photos from different angles, just photos of my everyday stuff, mainly in our garden with Caleb.
