Acting Our Shoe Size

I'm sharing another Twilight Crafts DT page today in the catch-up of recent pages. I used the Numbers Background cut-file with photos of me and my mum on the swings earlier this year. 

I cut the numbers background from kraft cardstock and backed the open parts with patterned papers. I also added strips of the same papers to the top and bottom of the page and ticked in a couple of label stickers wthe the date and location. My title is inspired by the old saying 'Act your age not your shoe size' which I twisted round as we are definitely acting our shoe size here.

Paper - Heidi Swapp Hello Today
Labels - Jen Hadfield

Capture the Moments

I've sat on this page for a little while as I wanted to finish sharing all my Oslo pages first. This one is for my 2023 album and is a DT page that I made for Twilight Crafts and Jenny Wren Cut-Files.

I used their Circle of Circles cut in kraft cardstock with two photos of my daughter and papers from both Simple Stories and Vicki Boutin. The photos were taken on a walk we took together at the end of August, probably the last time we will do something like this for some time as she left home in September. The ephemera piece that says 'Capture the moments' made a good title.

Paper - Simple Stories Simple Vintage Lakeside, Vicki Boutin Fernwood

Radhus & Around

Things have been pretty hectic here recently. I've still been scrapping, but only slowly, and I haven't had the time, energy or inclination to blog anything. Now things have eased, I'm back to share those pages here.

Last post I was in Oslo, the first port of call on our summer cruise to Scandinavia. I have two more pages to go from that day, two pocket pages that will sit back-to-back in the album.

I used a pocket page with six 4x6 landscape pockets. The front is focused on the Rådhus (Town Hall) and the surrounding area. I used two 4x6 photos, smaller photos in two pockets, and used one pocket each for title and journalling.
