Lately I have been making a lot of cards & gifts for birthdays & Christmas. It's been a lot of fun! Jordan always enjoys making things with my arty crafty materials too. He made this card for my mum's birthday all by himself- design, colours the lot! It's good isn't it?

This is what he wrote inside for his Grandma. He always signs his name 'Jordan D' as there are two Jordans in his class at school! Sweet!

I made my first a mini photo album recently, also for my mum's birthday. I bought the little yellow leather album in Asda ages ago but it took me ages to pluck up the courage to use it! (I don't know why but the idea of making a whole album of scrapbook pages scares me a little!). Anyway, inspiration came & this is what came into being.....



.... 24 tiny pages of photos of my mum's children, grandchildren & sons in law! (Just realised I have left out the first photo but never mind!). If you click on the photos you'll be able to see the pages in more detail. Each page was very simple as the album didn't allow for much bulk- just putting a photo in each pocket made it hard to close! It was really fun to make! I wish I had bought more of the albums at the time because Asda don't sell them any more! Oh well!
Hope all who read are well. Do leave a comment if you're passing by- it's always nice to hear from you. Now I'm off to spend some time with Lee & watch the new series of Smallville which starts tonight! (Have I told you how much we like Superman???!!!!)

oooh I do like Jordan's card for his grandma! He has the artistic flair most definitely! And the photo album is lush too!! It's great to see you doing lots of arty stuff ~very inspiring! xxx
Sorry I forgot to say that I LOVE the album and card very, very much; I look at the little book every day. Clever old sticks the pair of you.
