Digital Scrapbook Layouts

 Hello everyone,

I have started to create some Digital Scrapbook Layouts. I love that you can buy these papers on Etsy and choose what you want to use.
Some of the "real" Scrapbooking papers are so expensive that you always have trouble finding them.
I will still create with my "real" Scrapbooking papers, but I love these cute digital papers and you can use them repeatedly.
Here are some of the layouts I have created. The three Layouts with Milo and then two Layouts with my Grandchildren.
 
The Digital Paper is from - hibourougestudio - Paw Prints - Black/White/Red
The Digital Paper is from JssScrapBoutique - Ruff Ruff
The Digital paper is from - ScrapbookGems - Workout Clipart and Papers Kit 31
Here are the two Digital layouts with my Grandchildren.
It was Ivy's 5th Birthday and she loves horses and dogs. 
The Digital paper is from - ScrapbookGems - Equestrian Clipart and Papers Kit 28

Autumn Layout #217

Hello everyone,

the new Challenge on the Scrapping4funChallenges blog is live.
The theme is Autumn. You can join us here!

It has been a long time since I create Scrapbooking layouts. I started with A4 layouts for my Shih Tzu. It is easier to file in A4 plastic sleeves and in a normal folder. In a few days, I am starting with my daughter and Son-in-Law's wedding album. I received the beautiful pictures and can not wait to start.

I am still very dizzy from my ear and jaw infection but started to feel better day by day.

All the products are listed below. The picture of Milo was taken end of February 2022 when he was 3 months old. Our autumn just started and we do not have a lot of leaves yet. I place a photo on the Layout but will change it a bit later.

Here is the layout.

Alphabet letter - W - #216

 Hello everyone,

the theme for the new  Scrapping4funChallenges Challenge is the Alphabet letter - W.
Our Daughter and Son-in-Law's wedding was on the 11th of June 2022. We flew to South Africa for the wedding and spend some time with family and friends. The wedding was a whole weekend getaway.

The Venue was beautiful and the food was so good! The Friday evening we have a barbeque (braaivleis) the Saturday with the wedding we had breakfast and lunch. The food in the evening was really good and the pudding was yummy! The wedding was at 15h00, our daughter had a stunning dress and she looked beautiful. It was a beautiful wedding with yummy food and friends and family. 

I have created this wedding album for the mother of the groom. I couldn't find the white album from 49 and Market and used the black one. 
Here are some of the pages inside the album. 
Here is a picture of my daughter and her husband.
