1998

This LO is one of many that I have complete for my Mother-in-Law, covering her 92.5 years, when I started I bought a 8x8 album, well little did I know how many photos she had. I have just ordered my 3 12x12 album. Her collection of photos from her early years are just priceless. I have scanned all the photos and scrapbooked the oringinal, as I now know they are safe and all together in the one place. So lots of pages have a mixture of different photos from different times, so I have done it year by year, some years there may be more than one page but it was the easiest way to do it I found. Some of the LO's I really like and went to a lot more trouble, some are very basic with not a lot on them, but thats OK I have decided. With so many to do plus DD's years and her trip, DS years and mine, it gets a bit over whelming at times. So I reminded myself that scrapbooking is for pleasure and shouldn't be a chore. So when I find it a chore they are basic LO and when its for pleasure I am able to play with the LO more. The one above I enjoyed doing, it was all Black & White till I let loose with the spritz and gave it a brownish tinge. I bought a (wait for it ) a Mills & Boon novel ( LO ) at the 2nd hand shop so I love tearing out the pages and scrunching them up for my LO's, I did try and cut it out with the Cricut, but the paper was to thin. Anyway I like this LO for no particular reason and I enjoyed doing it which is the most import thing. :)
