Birthday pages

I scrapped a few more pages for J-girl's birthday album #2. I've scrapped some of the photos in the previous album, but this time around it's a concertina album which will stand on the mantelpiece at her new house.



I'm sharing this layout at Soul Scrappers for the February Mystery Bag challenge, with the RAINBOW COLOURS criteria.

Not terribly happy with this one; it didn't turn out like I pictured it. But I love that I used up a bunch more offcuts and got another old photo scrapped! And I adore the crocheted flowers, made by my Mum xx

Everything on this one is SERIOUSLY old stash. It's no secret that I love stash-busting, but I'm also on a scrapbooking SPEND FREEZE - inspired by Moira O'Reilly. I started in November, and I'm aiming for ONE FULL YEAR with no spending on new scrapbooking products. My personal rules are:

1. Permitted items - essential consumables (gesso, cutting blades, adhesives), album supplies (page sleeves, rings etc)
2. Gift/prize vouchers can be used, but no 'add ons'
3. Replacement items permitted - ONLY if I've used the last one the same colour, e.g. red paint, yellow rhinestones, cotton thread
