Innocence and Charm

This LO has taken me a whole 2 weeks to complete!! I can't believe it. I guess that's what you get when your husband is home. Not too sure about the tag in the middle with the brads. I think that could have been placed a bit better. But I'm loving the machine stitching and the chipboard letters (charm).

It's the first time I've used hinges on a LO, and it certainly was trial & error. Underneath the hinged section I wrote my journalling. Unfortunately I wrote it so that when flipped over to read, it was upside down. I covered the back of the flap with a piece of cardstock, and then re-wrote my journalling on a piece of cardstock adhered to the background. Gee, who would have thought scrapbooking could be so technical.

It's very trendy though, in the fashions within scrapbooking are constantly changing. I guess that's to keep the market turning over and fresh. But it does make me wonder if in a few years I'll look at these same LO's and cringe.

No matter what though, I'll always love the photo's!!

Nikki, this photo of you was taken late in the afternoon on Christmas
Eve'05 at Jimmy and Vikki's home in ********. We had just bought our brand
new digital SLR camera that day and already managed to capture this sweet image
of you. Aren't you just too cute!!
