I have finally completed a scrapbook album that I started in early August - it is for my Grandmother's 80th birthday and I will be giving it to her on Sunday.

I just wanted to share a little of my attempts with you. I apologize in advance for the photo quality, but I have never had a steady hand with a camera!

I did not want to use the actual album because I do not care for the purple (looks blue in pics) design ........ but it came with the kit I bought (being a complete amateur, I thought it best to start with a kit) and I just did not have money to buy a nicer album.

As you will see here, I tried to cover a little of the front of the album with this card, also in purple, made by me.



This is the very first "spread" in the scrapbook. The first few pages were dedicated to "heritage". I love these pics of my Grandparents. My Grandfather passed away some years ago so I dedicated a page to him further in the album.



The second heritage spread ... (this photo really doesn't do justice, but it gives an idea)



A close-up of the poem on the first spread ...



Well, just thought I would share this - I am proud of my work even if it must be very "beginner-like" to the pro scrapbookers out there!
