50th Album - another 2 pages

So I'm still busy working on my sister-in-law's 50th birthday album. Yesterday on WOYWW I posted a photo of some lovely papers I was going to use for a layout and here is the layout now complete! The papers were so versatile that I could have done lots of different layouts but I'm pleased with what I've done!!!

Here is another layout I've done, I didn't really appreciate on the night of the party, just how gorgeous the cake was - these photos show just how stunning it was but because I've photographed the whole layout you can't really appreciate it in this picture.

50th Scrapbook Album Project

My sister-in-law Jackie has asked me if I would do a scrapbook of her 50th birthday party (as she really liked what I did for my sister's 40th last year). So anyway this is my first layout for her. I love a bit of sparkle (luckily so does Jackie!) and I'm very pleased with how this has turned out (sorry about the photo quality as it just doesn't show up the details as well as in real life). Where I've stamped the swirls in the corners I've also added little sparkly crystals which just doesn't show in this photo. The other swirls at the top and down the side of the photo are "Say it in crystals" by Prima - but again the sparkle is not showing in the photo, but believe me it is so pretty and sparkly in real life!

I'm doing a photography course in July so hopefully once I've got a better understanding of my camera I will be able to start taking better photos as I'm getting frustrated now!!!

The whole album is going to be a challenge as all the photos are quite dark by nature as the majority were taken with those disposable cameras, but hopefully I can make something of them!

Anyway here is the photo of my first layout...



Would love to know what you think.
