Story Stamps - Click

The story stamp for April was click.  Having the photos and a kit ready to go with the pages and embellishments for each I was sorted when the stamp set arrived.  Didn't mean I got on to doing the layouts straight away though.  So hard to set aside the time.

Story Stamps - Magic

The story stamp for March was Magic.  Lots of fun stories to tell.  I had the photos ready to use and made the most of the {inter}national scrapbooking day to get the stories told.

This challenge was the Project Life style pockets with a twist.  This year I want to keep on top of my pictures and stories and am opting for the pocket style pages.  I got as far as putting in the photos for this challenge and need to go back and add the extras!

Challenge Eight - Go bold

I went bold with the colours and the photo for these layouts

Loved this layout that I had pinned on pinterest.  This was the perfect challenge to try it out on

Challenge Ten - Less is More

Another fabulous round of challenges and layouts to add to my albums.  Great motivation

Party time

One of my biggest projects has been catching up on the stories that I want to tell.  Birthdays made it to the top of the list.  I have been having fun telling the little stories but I want to make sure that I have all the big stories too.  We have lots of fun at our boys parties and I want to remember them.

I had pulled all my birthday related products together and went from there.  Seems the grid theme is working for me at the moment.  Especially as I have lots of photos for the parties.

I am pretty much up to date on birthdays now.  Just this year's to go!
