Scrapbooking kids albums

I have had a sore wrist for a few days. Actually to say its sore was an understatement. I think maybe a pinched nerve or something. It's all better now. Weird!!!

So I couldn't knit or sew ........ then I remembered the photos our new children came with.

So I am in the process of making smallish albums (cause that is what I had on hand). These photos are of Peanut. Isn't he a cutie.

Homemade birthday cards

My friend Dee brought me some blank cards so I can make my own. She had already bought some for herself so I asked my husband to grab me some while he was out. Long story short, he couldn't find them and so Dee came to my rescue and found me some (at the same shop he was at). I know.... shouldn't send a man to do women's work ;).

Here's just a small sample of what I have made so far.

I am trying to be more organised and so I have made cards for all the upcoming birthdays this year, popped them in envelopes and filed them in birthday order.

Mini albums

Another gift finished. For a few family members who wouldn't appreciate a photo key ring I have made these mini albums.

Very simle but effective.

Photo Christmas Presents

This is my latest idea for christmas presents for the family (so family, avert your eyes now).

I printed out passport size photos of the children and grandchildren etc. and laminated them.

I then joined them together with these keyrings (10 for $2.00).

I really wanted to make some mini albums that I saw on sew-funky's blog back in January, but sadly, I realised, I am not going to have enough time :(

So, this is my compromise.

Card Making

Just whipped up a few cards for those times when you think "I wish I had a card!!!!"
