More rugged baby boy

On By patriciamanhireIn Crafts, Creative Memories, Scrapbooking4 Comments

While the weather has turned to rain (much needed to break our drought thank goodness!  We have a total water ban on at the moment.) I have completed another couple of pages for my son’s scrapbook album.  This time I have kept the pages simple and used a white page for the background.  I love the combination of the border maker picket fence and twinkle chain cartridges and was really pleased with the combination of the yellow and the blue.  The blue complemented the clothes we are wearing in the photos and the yellow helped to highlight as well as James was wrapped in a yellow blanket.  I use colour a lot when I am scrapbooking as I find that the right colour behind the photo really highlights the photo.  I also like to keep embellishments to a minimum as well so as not to overpower the photograph and journalling. These photos are rather special as James was my grandmother’s only great grandchild and died when he was about 18 months old.  So it is lovely to have the whole family in the photo.Rugged Baby Boy scrapbook page Rugged Baby Boy Scrapbook pageMaterials used:

One of my photos of the day. We finally got some rain today after having no rain since the 4th February. It was lovely going out in the rain and taking photographs.

I just can’t resist taking photos of roses and this rose was really high and the late evening sun was just touching this rose to create lovely patterns of light and dark.

Another still life from the beach. It was another warm and sunny day and the breeze from the harbour was very pleasant.

Two days ago I went to Petone Beach to take photographs of the Queen Mary II in Wellington Harbour. I took the opportunity of trying out taking photos of different subjects to have a change from flower photos. Here are a few shots that I took.

I went out again later in the afternoon and took more photos and I was really pleased with this photo. I am very pleased with what I have achieved today. I hope I have another good day tomorrow.
Happy snapping

Today I took lots of photos of flowers and my cat and this photo was the best of the bunch. I have done no editing or cropping with this photo. He is hard to capture at times as he senses when I have a camera in my hand and keeps moving around. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

I took some lovely photos of a rose at the front of the house in the morning sun this morning.  I was really pleased with my results.  Here is one of the photos I took.  I have placed this photo onto a 12 x 12 photo page and then put a page from the Baroqe digital kit.  Using the Custom wand from the Cut and Fill ribbon I cut out the rose to highlight it from the background.  I then used the opacity function from the Format ribbon to just leave a hint of the paper on the background of the rose.  I then put a freebie sentiment on the bottom left of the page.  Sometimes less is more…
