As everything revloves around my vintage scrapbooking these days this is my entry for ABAA I have so many pictures to do I knew I would be able to find one to fit most themes.
This one is of my Dads 2 sisters on the beach at Whitley Bay. Those bathing costumes look fab, very different from the ones girls wwear now hehehe.
This is Edna and Jennie, and this picture is the start of the new images I have just inherited from the other side of my family. Now I am working with both sides of the family and I have just bought the 4th album for my vintage collection. I am so pleased with how quickly they are coming together, although I cant say the same for the pile of ironing.....
These pictures are of my Mam , Jean when she was younger, I enjoyed this layout , loved colouring all the butterflies with distress inks.
I think my camera must need charging as the colours do look as vibrant as they should.
This is May Gray, she was the daughter of my Grandfathers sister Annie, May used to enjoy performing on stage just like her cousin Amalia (shown in prvious layouts)
I used a stencil and distress inks to make the flowers on the page.
The last page is of my Grandmothers 2 sisters and her brother in law.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Hi Jaqi :) I just love your scrapbook layouts, and good for you for getting all those precious photos so beautifully displayed, you have some wonderful vintage photos of your family.
Sisters in the Sand = how lovely Jaqi! Wonderful thoughtful details, great pages!
Hi Jaqi,
Thanks for your comment.
You really should check out Hobbycraft, some of the best stuff is definately in the clearance section!
I'm hoping to make a necklace out of the shells...I'm just scared of drilling through them and them snapping :(
