Young Scrap Birds

I've recently joined another new forum, that is exclusively for the Gen yer's and I only JUST make the cut (age wise lol). They had their first cc last weekend and was lots of fun to be scrapbooking without too much restriction.

Here are the layouts I made for it, using the latest train ride pics of the kids. Have heaps more of those photos to scrap and love em all :D

I got an email from Rach (the owner of YSB) to let me know that I won one of the challenges with my second layout "birds of a feather flock together"!!! Thank you so much girls, had a great time and look forward to chatting more to you all.

I've also made a pressie for my friend (and DH's cousin) and her new baby Jordan. Was lots of fun!!! I actually got the idea of the baby book, from when I had Luke and a friend from Scrapbooking Memories forum sent to me - Thanks Alison!!

We're looking for the first CIS Idol!!!!
