Scrapbook Sunday

Yesterday was another day of mixed blessings weather wise, a bright sunny mix with torrential rain.  I managed to catch up with my brother and his grown up family at my parents which was nice, you don't often see them all together.   The rain did keep us in for most of the day but I did manage to start my holiday scrapbook which was a real delight reminiscing with my husband and catching up with each other.  Thank goodness the rain has drained away at the corner of the garden, although it is still sodden underfoot.

I used the map of the resort we stayed in, a photo outside the apartment and some lovely American stickers to embellish this page.  I still need to the  journaling, but I was pleased with the overall effect.

 

This was Mum and I proudly showing off our wares brought from a thrift shop at Mount Dora, I included a brochure showing the main features of the town and a beautiful clipboard sign.  Again I do need to add the journaling.

 

Again, a leaflet used in conjunction with a photo with flowers to embellish.  It is actually quite striking, the photography is not up to scratch.

 

 Next up is a record of our visit to Downtown Disney, using the map as a base and some wonderful Disney stickers.  The overall effect is quite enchanting.

 

Some truly stunning photos of the topiary at Disney, highlighted with some really delightful embellishments.  You got it...the journaling needs to be done!

 

Another map was used highlighting the Park Avenue area of Winter Park, a truly delightful place to visit.  There is a beautiful park to stroll around and a rather yummy farmers market on a Saturday.  The embellishments used were handbags, flowers and a little gem.

 

Finally the photo of Dad visiting the cockpit on our flight home, a truly wonderful experience, that made his whole holiday, using the flight ticket and some sentimental embellishments.

 

As you can see not a whole lot achieved, when you consider how many photos were taken.  But a start non the less, a very enjoyable few hours relaxing and reminiscing.  A delightful way to record a holiday and bring back all the memories of times gone by.

 

See you soon.
