Bathtime Ari



Ari's childmider is on holiday in September and Mummy works in education so is not allowed holiday so

Ari is going from pillar to post being look after by various family  on Tuesday it was my turn .



At home they only have a shower or the Belfast sink in the kitchen so the big bath at Nana's was an adventure



There were  baby bubbles and some ducks to play with.



The book was cut at 9" on the Cricut I used the deep cut blade for the first time

it worked OK but did not cut through the mount board I was using so it was finished off with a scalpel



The pages   were made from 1 sheet white card sandwiched between 2 paterned  papers

the papers were from QVC and I bought them when I first started crafting.




I cut a total of 36 ducks to make this book



Filled it with photo's and embelishments




A record of a funtime




He was back on Saturday showing Mummy how much fun it is in a big bath,

My Tag Book – Baby Tale

Mel81pop is a very talented scrapper and she has a number of  friends who are at various levels of Scrapbooking from beginers to quite advanced, to help those starting out she has been holding classes and as we all enjoy a good chat and some new challenges I went along  below are  the pages from my tag book  started during the class and finished at home.




Here is the front cover of my book, The title was set by the alphas I used, as they were too big to fit Babies Tale on the cover.

The reason for the book was that there had been a lot of babies this last year or so, we had managed with only the one Grandchild for 14 years and then like buses 3 came along in quick succsession. Don't get me wrong I would not part with any of them but it was all babies so to be able to compare them all easily I made a book of babies,


Starting with my Husband Roger in 1948


 
Then there was me  in 1957






Then our first Daughter Laura 1976




1978 saw the arrival of Abigail




Then in 1982 our son James




First of the Grandchidren was Philip in 1995




More pictures of Philip 




Then Nathaniel arrived a brother for Philip in 2008




Then in 2009  a little sister for them both with the arrival of Zoe




Then a month later Ari was here




This was a lovely project to do and for a little book there are so many surfaces to  add picture and embelishments too, Thank you Phillipa
