WELCOME TO SCRAPPING ON THE AVENUE

Well the year is now well and truly upon us and some of you are know getting back into scrapbooking all of those wonderful photo's that have been taken over the holiday's...

One such person is a wonderful lady by the name of Leanne....

Leanne has only dabbled in scrapbooking a couple of times, to the extent of stickers on a page with a photo.

Leanne has the perfect subject for scrapping, her gorgeous 4yr old son. So with a little bit of coaching from myself, she has come out with these 2 beautiful and bright layouts.

Notice how she has added flowers to her son's page....don't be shy in adding flowers to your boy pages as they are just as suitable for boys as they are for girls.

Here is a picture of Leanne with her layouts. A very proud moment for someone who has hardly if ever scrapped before.

Here is Leanne's most recent layout of her beautiful boy. Inking the edges of her work makes the whole layout stand out more. Adds dimension and stops it from looking 'flat'.

Leanne is now a regular at Scrapping on the Avenue and can be seen scrapping in between her shifts. Now that is a 'Scrap-a-holic' in the making...

Well done Leanne.....and keep up the good work...

Happy scrapping ladies....
