Scrapbooking galore

Portabello rd and kraft card worked great for this layout. This was the layout we did in our scrapbook crop in April.
Meet my grandaughter Paige and my son Oliver they will feature quite a lot in these pages as I hadn't started there scrapbook until this past month. shame on me she's now 18 moths old.
Lincoln linen paper work so well as I didn't want to be to use pinks or blues.
Both are forever Oliver will always be Paige's dad and that tattoo is there for ever. I should know!!!
This wasn't the actual first cuddle but it was the first one I was there for. Wellington papers and stamp set.
Boofle papers and ribbon made with 100% love.
Parkstone pink papers bloomers to celebrate the first night the little family went out together.Boofle buttons finished the bloomers off.
These next 2 pages were lifted from a couple of pages created by coventry-Ann on Docrafts site she does some really beautiful pages
And I just had to try and replicate them. Thank you Ann for the inspiration.
Parkstone pink scraps and stamping.
You would never guess it but I love this photo of maisie and I have scrapped it so many times All the products used in this are Docrafts parkstone pink and the stamping was a goody bag stamp of a cake!! bet you have it at home somewhere.
Oliver as a little man Boofle buttons, papers and embossing folder.
