Rach set a challenge as a flow on from National Scrapbooking Day @ The Scrapbook Outlet. I looked through my first album & have always loved these photos of Katya so I decided to re-scrap them. I had to scan in the photos cause I didn't want to look through all my negatives (digital is sooo much easier). Once in my computer I played around with them - lifting the colours for 'the blanket' and removing colour apart from Katya in 'fairy'.
It was a great challenge - thanks Rach! & I find that in re-doing them my journaling takes a whole new direction & I feel it is much more meaningful - especially as back then (later part of 2003) any journaling was the 5 w's & an h or two - though the 'fairies' LO isn't a good example of that kind of journaling - I had used a quote feeling that the photos spoke enough of my cute daughters.I'm looking forward to some bits arriving tomorrow -7 Gypsies, Bazzill & some Chatterbox (to help me decide to enter the make it meaningful competition) as well as some replacement Urban Lily - have used lots of the new ranges already.
Off to order some delish designs paint & a 'naked' book by delish for my MIM album! Jase has stuff on Saturday afternoon so I'll have an afternoon of scrapping I'm thinking.Enjoy your weekends & Happy Mothers Day to all you mums out there (hoping for pancakes & a coffee in Bed on Sunday Morning & am jealous that Trina's family does pancakes every Sunday - yum!). The bits I'm about to order will be my mothers day gift.

PS. I am busy working on my handbag album. Did one and decided I didn't like it so have done some things different. Will put is up in SO gallery when it is done. :)
Lucky you - scrappy Mothers Day stuff! I know my 2 have been busy making things at Cubs & Pippins so that will be pretty special!!
Have a lovely scrappy day tomorrow. Weather here is only good for indoors ATM!!!!
Thanks for the idea of the blanket LO hadn't thought of that my Arwen is a real blankie girl.
Your layouts are all gorgeous but I absolutely love the fairy layout, what you have done with the Urban Lily paper is just gorgeous, I hope, hope, hope you entered into the DT for UL.
All the best.

Happy Mother's Day to you, too. I'm off with 3 friends (all mothers) to a Ruth Pretty Cooking School class for the whole day - kind of weird not to be with the kids for Mother's Day but it was their (extravagant) gift to me. Can't wait.
I was reading your comment on my blog about your dish cupboard - I remember way back, if I knew a friend was popping in for a visit, we'd stuff the dirty dishes into the oven LMAO, worked a treat until my flattie found it, and nearly died laughing, he told me it was an oven, not a dishwasher LOL
Will catch you tomorrow night in "class"....still trying to get some Wholy Cow rub-ons! Just emailed Scrapbook Outlet so hope they can fastpost me some today but not luck as yet...fingers crossed! Can't wait to see what everyone does
