Sneaking a Peek

 Hello,  as you may know DD is expecting twins and with twins, there's lots of extra scans and photos, so rather than her keep these in an envelope or folder I thought I'd do a little Album.  It's made from envelopes, a tutorial I saw some time ago on YouTube.

I had some scraps and half used papers left over from my first attempts at card making,  so with some careful piecing and a little ribbon to hide the shortages, it doesn't look too bad.  There's quite a few pages and pockets and photo mats, so I'll just show a few.  I found this verse on the internet and printed it out.




As I've used scraps, this also ties in with our theme at Try it on Tuesday Use Your Scraps and you still have a week to enter, so come and join us,  you'll find all the details on the main blog.                          

Avril xx

I didn't know this but what wonderful news Avril. You must be bursting with excitement. My youngest Granson is nearly four now but it only seems like yesterday that he was a tiny baby. He was born a month early, weighing 4lb 13oz. I just never get over the joy of being a Grandma (Sandma in my case). Your little album is beautiful and I'm sure that your daughter will treasure it always x

What a wonderful idea for your daughters babies Avril and all in such pretty soft colours.

Twins is so exciting (forgetting feed and night times), I was told my first was twins, but that was before the days of scans, turned out to be one very large ten and half pounder.
