LOL.....I am so proud of myself! Truly I am. For those of you that are a regular visitor to my blog, will know that I don't scrapbook. I have done some pages in the past (a long time ago) with the latest being the 6x6 swap I was involved in a few weeks ago. Oh my, I haven't posted about that swap yet (naughty me!). Will do.
Ok, so it is not finished......just need to add the journaling at the top. Bit nervous about that as I don't want to stuff it up and ruin the whole page. :-)
What do you think???? I suddenly had the urge to scrapbook last week when I was going over photos of when Emily was born and came across this one. I just stared at it for a long time, looking at Oliver's beautiful smile. I then thought, I want to scrapbook this photo and straight away came up with "precious moment" as my title. To me this is a very precious moment.....Oliver showing his love through his smile while holding his brand new sister in his arms.
Oliver is such a beautiful child - I don't mean cute or good looking but beautiful on the inside (although I could argue that fact lately!!). He is smart, but cheeky. Keeps people laughing and entertained and doesn't stop talking!! LOL. He is also very sensitive and gets upset when he thinks he has hurt Emily (most of the time accidently). Thank goodness, we seem to have turned a corner with his behaviour at school. He hasn't had a stop sign for a week now! LOL. There is one child who he has issues with at school and as the kids were going to their assembly on Monday morning, this 'said child' kicked Oliver in the leg for no real reason - I did see this but couldn't get to Oliver quick enough before he was kicked. Argh! I spoke to his teacher about it. I am hoping that this issue won't go on for the rest of the year. While the kids have been told to say "stop, I don't like it", I also won't tell Oliver that he is not allowed to stand up for himself. If that means getting a stop sign, so be it. Oh, the joys of school! LOL
In many ways, Emily is much the same as Oliver. She is now days away from turning 9 months old and as of Tuesday this week, she officially started crawling!! Look out! She also has a beautiful smile and will even smile after only having a cat nap....I'm also smiling because I know that her next nap will be a very LONG one!! LOL
I've use the big flower in the pretties kit with the clear rhinestone. I sponged the edges with my dauber using the Rich Razzleberry ink.
I again used the flowers from the Pretties kit and coloured 3 of them with the dauber and Rich Razzleberry ink. To get a more intense colour, you can press the flowers straight onto the ink pad or use your re-inker to colour the flowers. Another way is to use your aqua painter as well. So many different techniques. It all depends on the colour you want.
You also must know that I like a bit of 'bling'! LOL. So, naturally there is some glitter on the page too. I used my 2-way glue pen on the white swirly bits of the dsp and went to town!! ha ha. I first had the title going horizontally across the page, then thought it would look better going around the circles.
Of course, I couldn't go by without a close up of that smile! :-)
I have had poor Oliver home from school for three days now with a viral infection. I'm not feeling so crash hot myself. Quiet time and bed is where you find me over the weekend!!
Happy stamping,
