Banks Family - 1959

Another layout done at the January CTMH workshop.

I think this was taken in 1959.... Here are my parents, brother and sister, and of course, me.

My Parents Wedding - 1952

This layout was done at a CTMH workshop in January.

The wedding party included my mother's parents, her sister and niece. The other people are friends of my parents.

Meeting Alaina - December 2006

I forgot to post this 2-page layout I did in 2009. It was done with the September 09 digital quick kit by Jenny J of Scrappers Guide.

This was the first time we met our new great-niece at Christmas 2006. What a cutie!

Fave Gift - 2009

The photo in this layout is of my favourite gift received this Christmas (shhhhhh....don't tell the others.....) It's a felt brooch based on one of my Tammy dolls, handmade by my niece, Melanie. She did SUCH a wonderful job with it - she is so talented!

The layout was done for a challenge on The Paper Passion to use "pleats". There's a couple of things on this layout that I don't usually do (besides the pleating):

- stitching around the outside
- kraft cardstock
- one photo layout
- stickpins

Diamond Head - 2009

This first page is a digital layout done with the January 2010 kit from Scrappers Guide. It is based on the Jan. 2nd sketch from The Paper Passion.



The 2nd page is using the Quick Album from the same kit only I changed the background paper to match the first layout.

2010 Calendar - Part I

For a Christmas gift, I made my parents a 2010 calendar from one of those Basic Grey kits. I didn't have up-to-date photos of ALL the family, so decided to use older photos instead. I didn't want to post these until AFTER my parents received their gift so here they are now. I will post four months at a time....

Cover Page:


January - my sister and I on a snowy day in the late 1950s


February - my parents on their wedding day - 1952

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thanks to all of you who popped in to check out my work in 2009.

Hopefully, I'll have lots more to share with you in 2010.

May 2010 be happy and prosperous to all of you!
