I'm using an album I made with extra large brown craft paper bags. When folded in half, as seen above the pages measure 11" x 10" which should enable me to fit more than one day on each page??????? If not I have the added bonus of being able to put 'tags' inside some of the open ends of the bags. I'm really looking forward to doing one again this year as I know how much Faye and Ash loved last years which was Josh's First Christmas. They often take it out and look at it, so I think this will be great to see how much he has changed. To think last year he was only 4 months old, not really doing much other than eating and sleeping, now he is walking, dancing, feeding himself, drinking from a beaker and trying so hard to talk! He is so very special to us, an amazing 'little man'!
I've been back in 'Crafty Individuals' mode, preparing a few classes. The timeless large swirl stamp, acetate, cuttlebug and stickles.
Images are from the CI people and places books, altered slide mounts, hand made paper flowers,
I just love the effect of sanding back the core dinations card.
I had fun creating this accodion fold 'booklet'
using some of my favourite CI stamps, and just giving the images a hint of colour with distress inks and stickles.
The double sided card is Capella by Basic Grey, it's lovely to work with.
I'll leave you today with a couple of photo's of Cinders. I am amazed at how she loves the snow! She really didn't want to come back into the house.
She really makes me giggle!

You certainly have a lovely style Sue - your book is gorgeous! Re the DDA thing for Josh, it will be great for you all to compare the differences from last year - I hope you have lots of fun doing the album. x
Breathtaking .....as ever.
I just adore the texture in the CI project...........so beautiful!
You are obviously really proud of little Josh and the dog, (can't remember his name, forgotten it in 2 seconds)....(because I am in a different window to leave a message)...is so cute.

I want to start off by saying a huge thank you. I always love to read your comments Sue, you really put an effort into them and it always makes me smile. So thanks xx
I am so looking forward to seeing Josh's DDA come together. I can see why Faye and Ash love looking back at last years. I pulled mine out to take a look at and loved all the memories flooding back. I am sure this is the same for them and it will be for Josh when he is older. I plan to have mine out when Emily is a little older and will not just pull it apart.
It is looking gorgeous and festive but by the sound of it you will have to dedicate a lot of time to crafting over December.....I can think of worst things:)
I cannot believe you don't have your creations up, I was shocked by that. I don't really have many of mine up either though, just the odd bit....maybe we should have more up.
Hope you enjoyed babysitting Josh while Faye was shopping. I am sure it was fun.

Cinders is adorable, my little pug pup may not feel the same about the snow, this will be a first for her. Your samples are stunning, such gorgeous details and the album will be another fantastic keepsake. Tracy Evans x x

Just imagine in a few years Josh will be looking at those books and he'll be so proud of his grandma. They truly are works of art. Cinders looks adorable.
Just beautiful!!! It will be super especially with the added tags can't wait to see them!!!!! We really need to get all these photo's scrapped as they grow up so quickly and you do forget certain things so they are just a perfect keepsake!!!!
Love your CI work it so gorgeous and so much detail such a shame can't see it properly would love to have a feel of all the elements!! lol
Then on to Cinders!!!! She is beautiful my dog has to have a quick shove to go out!!! Love Chanelle xxxxx
Love all your photos in this post - the close ups of your art are amazing. Hee hee hee your dog looks like he loves the snow. Been wondering whether to let my house bunny loose in the garden to see what he makes of it!
Can't believe your grandson is walking and nearly talking already ... that seemed to happen very fast!
Hi Sue, that is absolutely beautiful,such a fabulous and timeless album.
I love Cinders,what a cutie !! My little Jojo loves the snow too but its bigger than him at the moment lol.
hugs June
Sue
