Okay I will!
For ages and ages I've wanted to scrapbook my photos. I must admit to doing one or two pages a year or maybe more ago, but never seemed to get round to doing more. Bought the albums and papers and was at the ready, but just never got going.
Well all that has changed! I've made a start and had a lovely time scrapping with my daughter the other day. It was just great to play alongside each other and it brought back so many happy memories too.
So here is my first page of a scrapbook celebrating a very special holiday quite a few years back now. It's a plain page up to the wonderful embellished pages I've seen around, but I'm happy with it and that's what really matters. Only another 100 or so photos to go now!
Sheesh better get busy!
Materials used...
- Papermania 12" x 12" beige card from Earth tones pack
- gold border peel offs
- palm tree punch
- Plantain Schoolbook cartridge to cut lettering for title
- computer generated journalling
- gold paper and stardust white
As always enjoy your day whatever you're doing.
Update - thanks for the lovely comments everyone. I will certainly check out those sites and as Ann suggested I'm entering this for her 'anything goes' challenge at Crafty Ann's. Think I may have already entered this challenge, but hey it will keep her DT on their toes!!

This is gorgeous Ann, what a wonderful way to keep precious photos. I don't think the page needs any extra embellies

I think it's a lovely layout Ann and I think you should go with how you feel for each page. As for challenges, there are some dedicated scrapping challenges out there and I'll make a note of them for you as I spot them, but you can often enter layouts into ordinary challenges too. My own challenge is any project you want to make as long as it is to the theme each week so this one can have a home there for a start.

Oh this is fabulous, great start.
If you need inspiration check out UKS and I often use Pagemaps to help my layouts too. Sorry don't have the links but google will be able to find them.

I wish I'd got someone to give me a kick up the you know what - I really need to do something with all the piccies of my kids and grandkids. This is a great start for you Ann and I'm so glad you shared it with us at Crafty Ann's and in blogland.

This is a fabulous keepsake Ann.
I too need a kick to get me started as it is my sister's 50th in September and I bought a beautiful album to make a start on scrapping 8 months ago.
It is still untouched!!
