..over at the Quirky Kits blog today. I'm cutting up photos right here
with a page about the fun we had on Deb's Pot Luck Bog Hop (remember, in March?). Come and see!
This page will make an appearance too:
with its journaling:
"So you are on the school trip, having spent the last month with your Mum telling you it will be freezing and you need to wear a vest. Where do they take you? A rugby stadium. Sure enough, it's perishing and your camera battery fails and you do wonder where the fun (or the "education") is in that. But all the same, you save your ticket and you come home and you have develpoed an interest you never had before..boys, Rugby, which came first?"
Leo has opened up subscriptions for the next round of kits which will be going out at the end of May. All the details are here

Thanks for those links & at the risk of repeating myself...Great Cropping!! :D
ReplyDeleteThe house-shaped photo is wonderful and I like your distressing on the second layout!
ReplyDeletewow these are fantastic layouts Sian - even the shaped photos look good, like everything else I am sure they will make a come back.
ReplyDeleteLike what you've done with that lovely photo - gosh, isn't the Little One not so little now! Boy ... rugby ... I'd be guessing the former first! (No personal experience, of course!).
ReplyDeleteGreat layout - Definately the not so small one now! Off to see what you've been upto.
ReplyDeletei am so in love with mini camera images at the mo. love the picture of the not so small one on the house, she is so beautiful,
ReplyDeletejo xxxx
ps just in case best tell the tall one he's rather attractive too xxxx
Great looking layouts Sian and the house photo works so well cut in that shape. I used to do titles from pictures years ago and can definitely see me doing that again.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner Sian, it's fabulous
ReplyDeleteOh my - welcome to the next stage of the girl's life! Off to check the other blog.

Have never thought of cutting a title from a pic!

Ooh more lovely quirkiness to check out ... great way to preserve the ticket!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! Great LO's :)

Your LOs could convince me :) The shaped photo title looks great and the photo of TSO is beautiful. It is a very ingenious way to include another photo on your LO as a kind of embelllishment.
ReplyDeleteBoys and Rugby, a great combination for a young girl. Welcome to a stressful time in her growing up! Have never thought of cutting photos into shapes but how effective it is. I shall have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteBoth gorgeous layouts - as usual - but I'm especially loving the Winter In Paris layout. I love how you've made such a colourful page, without using a photograph and that it still has such focus and style.
ReplyDeleteYou've got class lady!
So many clever details on these layouts, and what a good idea to document our blog hop!
ReplyDeleteOh, funny!
ReplyDeleteI would say that interestes are quite different at our place! I dare say it won't be long!
Cutting up photos was something I never did (I've not been scrappin' that long ;) However, like I said on the Quirky Kits post, I would have no problem cutting up photos because they can always be printed again! I love your idea of using the photo for the title.
ReplyDeleteOn another note - do you know if Scrap 365 will make their issues as digital downloads? I'm starting to do that more often now.
Clever ideas with the photos, it's great that with digital cameras we can cut into them without worrying about spoiling the original if it doesn't turn out how you imagined.
ReplyDeleteI love the story that you tell with this LO. I only got into rugby after I met my other half!
ReplyDeleteOoooh LOVE that wood effect paper. Is it Echo Park's This and That?
ReplyDeleteShould I confess to remembering shaped photos the first time around? No, didn't think so ;)
ReplyDeleteBoys and rugby, well I liked one of those. Do like these quirky kits but don't get through the one kit I've signed up for.
