This has been a very busy week with our big boy turning 8 and our middle son turning 6. I cannot believe how time flies. I have been busy yes as mommy but i have also been journaling in the wee hours that i have time to myself. I definitely do not look in the mirror the next day lol. i wanted to share some works i completed at the end of may. these were little smash books for both my sons teachers for their end of the year present, which was greatly loved and fawned over. I was just thrilled they even new what they were, i think they were a smash(no pun.. you know what i mean). I came up with the idea when i was browsing my local scrapbook store that i just discovered(which i had no idea was here for 2 years, oh the wasted time hahaha
www.stickledpink.com ). I didn't have much cash on me to buy the one from the store so i set out looking through all my scrap booking materials. so these are filled with lots of goodness, stamps, pockets, postcards, note cards etc. i actually used a catalogue that was made with very good paper and i used that as my base for the pages. I know my binding could use some work, but this is a start for me. Definitely my first time trying anything like this. so i hope you get inspired, because i know i was. Now go and be CREATIVE...Lilian
