Altered book page and a mish mash mess!

I have finally got onto my altered book, and it's taken me ages to do just one double page. It looks really bright here, but in real life is far more muted. The page on the left has metal on it, and when I was taking the photo the bright sunshine reflected the red from my top at the bottom of the page.

I was unsure what to theme the book on, so thought I would use some of my favourite word stamps. As a last minute thing I decided to add photo's of 'couples' from our family so in future it might be more meaningful and we can have a good old giggle at the photo's!

I have enjoyed splodging paint around. I even used my redundant 'Ten Seconds Studio' stuff and added a bit of heat embossing.


Well here's the mish mash. Believe it or not I am hoping to transform it into something for a challenge on http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com/
I will keep you informed on its progress, if there is any lol.


Finally, little Josh, the light of my life! He had his second lot of injections today and we had him weighed while we were there to find he is now 13lb 12 ozs. WOW! I call him my chunky monkey! He's such a happy soul and giggling away now. I just melt whenever I see him.

Paul has a week off from tomorrow, so I'm sure we will be spending some time together with our little grandson, BLISS!!!!!!

Glad you've got your book out and made a start, it looks great already. Will be a nice family momento when it's finished.

Good to see Josh is doing ok and putting weight on.

Will keep a look out for the mish mash!!!!

The altered book is fabulous, my first attempt didn't quite work out and I've not tried another since, but now I've seen yours it might encourage me to try another!

Wow how Josh has grown. Emily still does not weigh over 20lbs. She is so delicate. They do grow up so fast though and I am sure you will cherish each moment.
Loving the altered book too Sue, it is gorgeous.
