Birthday LO's

Until recently I'd only done 1 LO of the kids birthday parties. Matt and Sarah's first one. On Dan's birthday, when they were all looking at the past years of birthday photos I realised how important it was to get them into an album. So started the process. It reminded me why I don't do them. Getting the photos sorted and printed is the worst part. And of course as we take so many photos I'm then 'forced' to do a double LO and that's with really small photos! And I've got to admit I much prefer to create single LO's.

Anyway, I've now got two done.

Dan's first birthday:

 

and a couple of close ups

 

 

and then this morning I finished off this one for Matt and Sarah's 2nd birthday.

 

and a close up

 

So I've got 3 birthday parties done and only 5 more to go before the next birthday hits.

I've now got a seperate album for these pages and the kids are loving looking over the pages again and again.

Dan is home sick today. Poor wee tyke. Has a rather nasty cough and high temps. Hopefully won't last long.

Yesterday it was the kids teachers birthday. I made some fudge and wrapped it nicely in a little white bucket with tissue. The kids made cards and it looked very nice. But as Sarah was having a shower last night she told me how Miss 'x' told her the fudge was 'beautiful'. And then she queried that. "But Mum, you don't bake. You don't make beautiful stuff".

What the?

LOL! I really had to laugh. I know that Andy does alot of baking with the kids, but seriously?! LOL! At least it was appreciated by the recipient. Grin.

Later.

how nice of you... and YES she would have LOVED it.... love the layouts too.... I also hate sorting the photos to print....roll on the layout is what I always say!!!

HA HA!! Well, those LO look be-yu-ti-ful to me. Tim tells me I am cute. He says a lot of things are cute... so I think they get stuck on some words and their meanings IYKWIM.

OMgosh I so very much love the birthday party of the twins layout. Its totally lovely how you have done each of them on a side.

Great layouts, they are fabulous! I think many scrapbookers can relate to the struggle of doing birthday layouts. All those children wearing clashing colours, all those "busy" photos that can't be cropped. LOL :-) You've done a stellar job.

Very cute comment about you not baking beautiful stuff! Kids say the darndest things, don't they?

[Rachel]

Love the twins layout! I love doing birthday layouts they are so much fun and you get to relive them without the rush he he!

[Nancy]

Sarah doesn't beat around the bush does she??? Really had to laugh over that!! BTW the layouts are great. The kids (and the parents) will be looking at them for years to come so make sure the album is a sturdy one!!

You are such an inspiration... I always dread doing multi photo LO's, and especially birthday and Cristmas ones, but these look fabulous!!! I don't know how you do it! These goes straight into my inspo folder, that's for sure!
