The first LO of my second nephew!
I used both sides of one Heidi Grace paper to complete thisLO, along with Bazzill cardstock, and blossoms from Prima and Papermania. I bought the little silver teddy at a bead shop in London and finished it all of with lots of doodling with a White Sakura pen.
Wasn't it kind of Rowena to wear a blue top so I could do such a wonderfully monochromatic LO?!

China, World Showcase, and Olympia
I had been wanting to scrap these photos for ages. The acrobats in China at Epcot's World Showcase were incredible and I was really pleased with the quality of picture that I managed to capture.
Unfortunately I simply couldn't find the right papers. Then one day, recently, I went into Scrapbook Sisters and they had these two red, black and gold papers, and I thought they would work perfectly.
I used the circle because I was reminded of the film Empire of the Sun and its logo. I then handcut the dragon from the black paper and cut round a section of the Chinese calligraphy. I added some brads in three corners, which I painted gold with acrylic paint, and then a chain and a pendant which was in a set that I got for Christmas.
All in all I'm pretty pleased with the finished product!
On a different note, I spent today at the Stitch and Craft show at Olympia with mum and dad. Carl enjoyed himself as he had some of his mates round for a gaming session, having gone to football yesterday while I was at the shop crop for Karen's birthday! Got some great bargains at the show, and we met Shimelle Laine and Anne Parry. It only turns out that, when mum and dad were first married, they lived across the road from Anne and her family! It really is a small world :D

Tentative Steps
Sorry for the big gap in posting! Have been a bit sidetracked with stuff for work lately, and then I was ill last week too.
This LO is the third that I did from the Scrapbook Sisters class, although I made it the following day!
I added in some Basic Grey swirl rubons, and mixed MM rubons with my own writing for the title. The ribbon inside the bookplate is by Papermania.
Thanks for looking :-)
