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,
