Well as this is my 6th ever scrapbook page I'm pretty pleased. I got done in 1hr 30mins, 45 of which were hand cutting the flower & leaf pattern out! Ouch! I didn't want that part to lie flat so I've done a combination of flat glueing and 3D dots to give it a bit of "ooomph"!
As I am just getting started scrapbooking (scrapping??) I have a lot of random papers & embellishments I picked up cheaply on eBay. Of course, that makes it much harder when trying to pull them together, but I have learned my lesson now!
Really enjoyed this challenge and I have been meaning to scrap this motley crew for ages. Only problem was, I couldn't find a printed photo of my nephew Ben so I've left a bit of space to add him later! I also found the different lighting on the photos a challenge which was why I chose orange/rust as my main colour - it seemed to pull the pics together quite nicely.
I have also cunningly left a bit (!) of room for possible future cousins!

oh I definitely meant a 2nd page that coordinates with this one I don't think I could cut that out twice (ok I can't cut it out once, but you know what I mean)

Wow, I'm stunned that this is only your 6th page--it jumped out of the gallery at me because it's so attractive. Love your flowers and how nicely balanced the page is--great colors too! I love the contrast of the blue and orange.
