Scrapbook Thursday

It Grandson Tom's turn today for his

Halloween layout.

I did a double spread this time as I was sent

lots of gorgeous photos of him and Sean.

They had great fun with their Mum and Dad,

baking tarts, adding surprises, bobbing for apples

and playing spooky games in their Halloween getups!

You can see him reading the tag I made for their Halloween package

and one of the treats in his hand.

Their Mum said they were delighted with them.

Makes it all worthwhile to see a wee smile on their faces.

I followed this sketch from Sketches in Thyme

Scrapbook Thursday

 

It's Grandson Tom's turn for his October page.

Well one of his layouts as I want to add a Halloween one

to show how they are dressing up.

This page came about because he lost his very first tooth last week!

Look at all the size of it!!

He was chuffed to bits though as it means he gets a visit

from the tooth fairy!

I followed the same sketch as last week from

Let's Get Sketchy

I will add a bit to the side so his Mum

can record the date and what the fairy brought!

The papers and embellishments are all from Nitwits.

Here are some photos of the first fall of leaves in our back garden!

We have since cleared the same amount two days in a row.

I love the colours of them but seriously back breaking work.

This is only the top end of the garden, but you get the picture lol.

This layout is actually for Tom but Sean and Tom

never seem to get in a photo by themselves lol!!

These photos are showing their first day back at school

They were super excited but having spent

the last six months together it was going to be a bit of a shock

to be separated into their different classes.

So far so good.

I followed a layout over at

Scrap Our Stash

and you have to also include some

woodgrain and an animal.

I embossed the yellow paper using Pinewood Planks

embossing folder and stamped the cute

Meerkats from a retired stamp set.

The papers are from Paper Pizzazz.

The miserable weather has arrived.

The heating is on and a thicker top is worn lol.

Hope your weather is still warm where you are!!

 

Scrapbook Thursday

I have actually made two layouts for Tom's book today

as when I was checking through it I had left a space to do

a double layout and never got round to the second page.

So here he is in all his glory!

He loves a carry on and is always getting into mischief

so when his Dad sent me the photo of him sneaking into

the jar of Nutella I just had to use it!

The clown face just says it all and works perfectly

with the title as he is a real wee entertainer.

I followed the sketch over at Sketches in Thyme

My second layout shows Tom having fun on his holidays.

Typical Ireland weather which leaves them all

wearing their wellie boots, including Mum.

I followed a layout from Scrap our stash
and you had to use ink or paint along with stripes.
I inked up some stripes on my circles to cover both.

This week I have used the same sketch to make a double layout

for Tom's July page.

The sketch is from

Sketches in Thyme

Again I am working my way through retired stash for these pages

along with some stickers, punches etc.

The stamp is from Whiff of Joy.

I am really enjoying making these pages

and the books are all filling up nicely.

It's Tom's June page and the photo I have

is of him doing his home school work.

Again I have used retired papers and followed the layout over at

Let's Get Sketchy

I found an old box of stamps from QVC (so long ago)

and one set was for school so I used that to fill in the white background.

I also found an old paper pack from Paper Pazzazz

and used the word plates and alphabets from that.
