These photos were taken on Christmas Day - I bought Carl a bubble gun as a stocking filler as he loves to entertain Millie with the bubbles. We captured this on film as well, which I'm so pleased about as, although the photo highlights her gorgeous smile, it can't convey her infectious little giggle, bless her!
I used scraps of papers by SEI (Scrapbook Walls) and some from a QVC kit. The metal tags are by Making Memories and the buttons by Papermania. The large 'B' shape is traced around a piece of grungeboard, having inked it up I decided I had chosen the wrong colour and didn't want to use it!

Xylophone
Mark and Sophie bought Amelia a xylophone for Christmas which she really enjoyed playing with. However, it is also rather noisy! Robin made a promise to Mark that he would be buying Oscar his first drum kit the following Christmas, lol.
At first I struggled with these photos - I wasn't sure whether I wanted to make them a typical Christmas LO with the appropriate papers etc. In the end I stuck to using a colour blocked approach, making the most of the white space and filling in the rest with ribbon and brads.
I completed this LO at the beginning of the week, across two evenings, and I really hope I'll be able to do that every week as it is much better than falling asleep in front of the TV!
I've also completed a LO today which I'll probably put on the blog tomorrow.

Foo Fighters LO
When we went to see the Foo Fighters at the O2 Arena on Carl's birthday we didn't take any proper cameras in case they got confiscated. Consequently all the photos were taken on Carl's Sony Ericsson phone and were a bit blurry!
I still wanted to document the evening (which was fantastic!) and so I created this LO, incorporating the ticket and the wristband from the night.
I used scraps, which you might recognise from yesterday's post as matching the letters I made for Amelia's room! The chipboard is bu chipboard chatter and QVC.

Letters for Amelia's Room
OK, so I never finished mum and dad's holiday diary! Suffice it to say they had a great time and got back safely. We also had a wonderful family Christmas, and I'll be posting my Christmas LOs as I do them (I hope!).
Meanwhile, these are the 11" chipboard letters that I decorated for Amelia's grown up girl bedroom. The colours are themed to those worn by Dora The Explorer but without being obviously so - hopefully she will want to keep them long after she has outgrown Dora!!
