Better Scrapbooking February Scrap Pack

Remember this I showed you back HERE

Well today the February Newsletter at Better Scrapbooking came out so I get to show you what I did with that Scrap Pack up there!!


The first LO I did was an old Positive Negative photo from back in 2008. The Journalling reads:

"There is a great big world out there, I hear it can be a fright. But take my hand and hold on - I know we'll be alright. Brother and sister we will forever be, I am so happy I have my best friend here with me. Our journey will be great, lots of fun, and even intense but how hard can it be with your best friend? xxx"

Looking for a title, poem, saying for your LO? Head over to Scrapbook.com and check out their resources! That is where I got the above poem!


The next LO I did was from 2008 as well! The paper in this pack was a boy paper range so of course I had to do boy LOs with it!! Jase and his Mom took Riley to the Webber Bros Circus when it came to Orewa. I sadly missed out because Abbey was too little to go but luckily they still got some great photos for me to scrap!! The light up sword Riley is holding was a favourite for AGES (until the batteries died!!)


I really wanted to show that even though this was a 'Boy' paper range that you can make it look girly! So I did a photo of Abbey in her Tinkerbell costume Halloween 2008 (hmm got an '08 theme going on so far!!)


Another 2008 photo! Fun paper needs fun photos and what is more fun than going SUPER high on Grandma's tyre swing!! Riley LOVES going as high as possible on that swing and it sure makes my heart pound!!


This LO was a pretty emotional one for me. I miss Jason more than I can even begin to describe. But so do my kids, and sometimes in my own grief I forget that. So I wrote this poem for Riley and Abbey about their Daddy ...

DADDY GREW WINGS
One day Our Daddy went away
We didn't see him going
He didn't want to go away
But he heard the angels calling
He grew a pair of golden wings
And flew away up high
And even though we can't see him
We know he's always close by
And when we need him he will know
He'll spread his wings and fly
And lift us up into his arms
Until the grey clouds pass by

The picture I used for this LO was taken the Last Christmas we had with Jase at the Pukekohe Christmas Parade. I am also planning to do a LO with Abbey & Jase with the same poem at some stage soon!

I have to be honest and say I am really NOT a card maker and I really don't like making cards, so I cringed a little when I saw the cards & envelopes in the Scrap Pack!! But I think I did an ok job on them anyway!!
