I've gone back in time again for this page, with a trio of 1980s photos of my siblings on Cannock Chase.
The page was triggered by a challenge from The Cut Shoppe to use one of their cut-files on the vertical. I chose Very Squarey, which is a square file, sized it to 8x8 to fit the width of my Portrait and duplicated part of it to make it 8x12.

I realised that the file and photos would work with a Starting Point from Hey Little Magpie, and followed a This or That challenge from Lottie Loves Paper when it came to embellishments. I chose spotty paper, handwriting, enamel dots, word stickers and arrows.
Finally, I linked up with UK Scrap Addicts who asked us to scrap photos from an outdoor game (among other options).

Time for a celebration, this is my 100th page this year. As I have 30-40 pages in an album, I should have finished three by now, but I haven't. I do enjoy jumping from project to project, scrapping whatever takes my fancy, but I sometimes feel I should concentrate on one album at a time. I was hoping this would be double celebration as I am close to finishing my Norway album from 2009, but I am waiting on my husband's help with the journalling as the last pages relate to a hike he did with our son.
My 2012 album is obviously a work in progress, but I also have albums from 2006, 2007 and a Far East holiday that I have started, plus one from a Baltic Cruise last year where I have done a few odd pages. In the spirit of concentrating on one album at a time, I pulled out 2007 over the weekend and turned to photos from our holiday in the Peak District. I had a selection of portrait photos from the Manifold Valley, which brought to mind the six photo layout from Shimelle Laine's 4x6 Photo Love class last year. I only actually had five photos but I replaced the sixth with a large journalling box:
These papers are from an older collection but they are a recent purchase. I had previously dismissed them as a 'Pets' range, but when I saw them in my LSS I realised that the colours are great and while carefully avoiding the paw prints and cute animals there are still enough patterns to be versatile.
