These are the first couple of pages I've done for Josh's album. This photo was taken last Tuesday when he was just 5 hours old. I used a shape cut from the cricut as a template and added gesso to the page. This acted as a resist to the distress inks which were added with cut 'n' dry foam. I also distressed around the edge of the inner page, the sheet music and the doiley.
On this photo Paul was having his first hold of his new grandson. He was 10 hours old. The swirls started out as a frame, again from the cricut. I altered them to create swirly corners. It's more than a year since I bought the cricut, and I'm just pleased to have done something with it at last. 
I reckon that scrapbooking might become a bit more regular now J. J. has arrived.Sue x
