my first scrapbook


















































































































































































































I decided to make a scrapbook for my brother's 40th birthday. I have been 'thinking' about it for ages and eventually plucked up the courage to put it on paper. it is alot less fancy than most but my brother isn't really an embelishment kind of person. Also I found it quite hard using an 8x8 scrapbook as once the photos were on there wasn't much room. I am really pleased with the way it has turned out and hope my brother will like it.
just noticed the 'A' on the america page is not on properly but did correct it before I gave it to him!
I bought the alphabets from Caroline (CT1972) and they were brilliant. it was so good to have the alphabets on hand and to be able to cut them as and when I needed them. so a big thank you to Caroline for your perfect timing
