Winning Wednesday!

Hello everyone this fine Wednesday! Today we reveal the winner of our great giveaway from Bite Sized Scrapbooking, but first I want to share with you another page I've done using my new Becky Higgins page protectors.

This style of divided page works well for me, as I like to buck the norm and take a great deal of my photos portrait style. I cropped down two to fit in the smaller pockets and then printed my journalling straight onto my pre-cut cards. I can do this as I have made up a word template to suit that size, and my printer is happy to accept that size (I had to make a template in my printer settings too, which is very easy to do) and this has simplified and sped up the process even further.

Now while there isn't any meaningful story told on this simple page, it does however, in my sons album, show a little slice of our life over the course of a year (and how cute my boy was in his little hat and orange shirt....although it may appear that these photos were all taken on one day, there were not, its just that the orange shirt was a favourite for work day outings!)

Righto! now onto the FUN PART OF THE DAY!

Without further ado....drum roll please......the winner of the Bundle #2 from Bite Sized Scrapbooking is......

Hello Wednesday...and a giveaway!

hello readers! yay that we are back after our summer holiday! so good to see what the other girls have been up to over the holidays, and excited about what they have in store for us in the coming weeks.

Recently, I caved in ;-) and bought a pack of Project Life Page Protectors.  Now I am not undertaking Project Life, but I DO like the style of the divided page protectors. And when I found a little pile of sorted photos the other day, complete with notes, that I had forgotten about (yegads) I thought what a perfect way to try out the new divided page protectors (and fill that gap in my boys album, I was wondering why it was looking a little sparse!)

I LOVE how easily and quickly this came together! At first I was worried that the smaller pockets might be problematic for me, but no, I love them.  And if you don't mind, I'll be sharing a few more simple pages using these divided page protectors in the coming weeks. Don't get me wrong, I still love doing a "normal" page, but what I love even more is how quickly I can get a page done using these page protectors, when I have limited time in which to do a page. (no measuring or re-arranging ! slip in the photos, cut my patterned paper to size (which I have written down for easy future reference, print the journaling on a pre-cut 4x6 card, on a 4x6 word document template I have already set up, add any extras like a thickers title etc that I feel like and wah-laa!....its that easy!)

ANYHOW! onto the exciting bit for the day...
