The evening was spent eating a most delicious meal of sirloin steak, new potatoes, mixed veg medley and peppercorn sauce cooked to perfection by my hubby, and swilled down with couple of long, cool and very weak glasses of Southern Comfort and lemonade, courtesy of Polly and Steve. This was followed by my fave programme of all times, the X Factor. Yeah, sad I know! I don't watch much TV, but I just love this programme. It had me laughing and crying as usual, but the highlite was Daniel and his version of Joe Cockers, 'With a Little Help from my Friends, I thought it was amazing!
This is a real simple couple of layouts for Josh's album. I wanted to add his scan photo's, and I spent hours and hours trying to make the pages more interesting by offering flowers, swirls, words, chipboard, contrasting papers etc, etc, all to no avail . In the end I just left them really plain as I couldnt get anything to work with the photos.
Three of the photos are from the 12 week scan and the bottom right one is the 20 week scan. Like Paul said, the main thing is that they will be in the album.
The photo I used here is the first time I saw Josh. He was just 5 hours old, and this was the first photo I took of him. His temperature was a bit low and the midwife had put this little hat on him to help him keep warm, aw bless him......... The care given to Faye and Josh whilst in hospital was second to none, everyone was brilliant.
Now just a few photos, me and Josh........
Faye and her amazing 'Hearing Dog' the lovely Disney..................
Ash, looking proud as he feeds his son........................
And Faye, who looks to be enjoying a cuddle as she feeds Joshua.........
Finally, Grandad alias 'GRUMPS' requiring L plates as he has his first drive of the pushchair, lol. He's so besotted you wouldn't believe it!Well, enough now, don't want to bore you all too much, but it's still early days, we are still buzzing!!!!! I will calm down soon, no, sorry, I don't think I will ha ha ha........

Love the minbooks, wish I lived near you I would love to come to some of your classes. Ann xx
I agree with Ann - your acetate book is amazing - I bet your friends simply loved it! I've only ever made one as a gift which I then obviously gave away but you've inspired me to have another go. As for your news and photos there of - they are great, I love hearing about other peoples lives in their blog it makes their scrapbooking make even more sense - so you continue letting us know about your extended family! The layouts of the scans and first picture are gorgeous and a great start to the album!

Such a gorgeous mini book and the layouts of Josh are just too cute. I am sure Faye, Ash and Josh will tresure these precious reminders of his life, as you and Paul will.
It is amazing how all you want to do is brag when you are a parent/grandparent, Yoyu have every right to do so Sue and I enjoy hearing about his life.
Gorgeous pages Sue...you're creating a lovely story even down to you being the proud grandparents. The acetate books look great too...love that your hubby prepared the meal for you all
I think those layout pages are perfick! You don't always need loads of 'stuff' with them, the pictures tell the story.
You look a very sexy grandma there and all those photos with his Dad, Mum and granddad are gorgeous - you'll need a whole new room for your scrapbooks!
Oh, nearly forgot, great books too!
