6x6 Scrapbook Pages - Part 1

My friend Judy has been visiting recently for one-on-one craft sessions. She wanted to make an album for her nephew who is 5 but as a beginner scrapbooker, had no idea where to start. So she bought a 6x6 album from me and here's what we came up with! I will do my best to remember all the colours/stamps sets etc! Where photos/mats have been cut to ovals, circles etc, I have used my Creative Memories cutting system and used the Big Shot too of course. Sorry about the quality of some photos, I was in a hurry!Stamps: Good Friend, Frames with a Flourish, So Swirly

Tri-Shutter Card

I've seen lots of beautiful tri-shutter cards on other blogs and SCS and decided it was time I made my own. This card is really in the "fancy-fold" category, but having said that, it was really easy to make! I followed the tutorial in SCS to make the card, and another tuturial to make the fan-fold flower on the front.Stamps: Punches Three, Curvy Verses, Frames With A Flourish
