A mini album for my sister…

IMG_49771

When we were growing up my grandparents lived in a different city, we lived in Oudenbosch and they lived in Rotterdam (the Netherlands), and then when I was 7 we moved to Australia. All my other cousins were spread around as well.

To keep my Oma and Opa up to date with their grand kids,  my parents and Aunts and Uncles used to send photos to them regularly. So my Oma started a photo album for each of her (at that time) 25 grandkids.

Not long after my Opa passed away in 1984 she gave us all our albums back which we have all treasured.

Unfortunately my sisters was one of those sticky paged ones, so I offered to remake it for her. Last week it was finally that time! Here is what I created for her….

p.s. Yes I know there are not  a huge amount of photos… but while we were growing up not as many photos were taken as these days 🙂

I haven’t included all the pages as I really wouldn’t want to bore you too much!

My sister doesn’t like fussy pages, prefers the simple but nice look. Hope she likes it! (it’s on its way in the mail right now!)

Pocket Page Scrapbooking – Singapore

IMG_4901
This weekend it has really cooled down and we have had a nice downpour of rain making it perfect weather to sit inside and finally scrap those photos I have from our Singapore trip last year.

To give my kids a little more one on one time I promised to take 1 at a time on short holidays. My middle child was first and we flew over to Singapore for 4 1/2 days. We left Geraldton after Hip Hop on Friday night, met my parents at the airport and flew to Singapore on the 1am flight.

We arrived in Singapore at 6am and to make the most of our few days there we had a BIG day!

In total I took 815 photos! So the only way to scrap so many is the pocket page style. Here are a couple of the pages: (not all as I wouldn’t want to bore you!!)

I have already completed 20 pages – and I still need to scrap Lego Land! (another 150 photos!!)
