well, have managed to squeeze in a few hours scrapping time over the last couple days and have put together 3 layouts for our holiday album.
This is the title page, and I'm especially chuffed with the postcard that I made in MS Publisher
I used some clipart for the stamp and recoloured it to a sepia tone, and inserted text boxes for all the other wording - tilting the "wish you were here" caption. I printed it out onto photo paper and used a postmark stamp from a baby set in brown ink across the stamp then embossed it with clear embossing powder for a raised effect.
And I have also put together 2 beach layouts - one featuring Faith and the other featuring Willow - I've kept them fairly simple.
I used some Cosmo Cricket papers as backgrounds - I got them free with a subscription I took out with Scrapbook Inspirations magazine, am not too keen on the patterned sides of the papers, but I really like the distressed look of the plainer sides.
Now with a bit of luck I might find some time to put together the 3rd beach layout of Graham and Scott

Great idea to create the postcard. Love that idea, must remember it myself to use it at a later date!
