BABY GIRL CARDS

I thought I would share these gorgeous cards I did a few weeks ago for a class.
They are a beautiful soft pink and with different paper would suit just about any occassion.
The papers used are making memories.
Believe it or not, but I've only used 2 double sided pattern papers for both of these cards.
I like to use the reverse side of each pattern so I get the most out of the paper and am not wasting any of it.
A chipboard heart and some ruffled ribbon finish off the cards. I'm not one for putting titles on my cards as with classes it can be quite hard to accomodate everyone, so I leave them blank. You could slip a small tag label on the cards with your title on it, or you can leave them blank and put a fitting verse on the inside.
These cards will be available for purchase in kit form soon at
'Scrapping on the Avenue'...

SKATE PARK

A new skate park has been built down the road and it has a wonderful park for families and the little ones as well.
My youngest, Riley loves getting on his scooter and racing around the skate ramps. Of course he thinks he can do it when the bigger kids are using it but they do tolerate him while he has his 30 secs of fame on the ramp.
My eldest, Zachary loves skating the ramps but also loves helping his little brother ride. If you don't watch riley, he shoots off without you knowing about it and skates the ramps on his scooter.

I love how the two boys love to play and hang out with each other. Even though there is a 10yr age gap, zachary doesn't mind playing with his little brother. The have a strong brotherly bond and it's more evident when they are apart.

They are both characters and even though the can be very tyring, I wouldn't change them for the world. I love them to bits.
Both my pride and joy....
