Back in the Old School Yard

This is a page I made a while back.

It's been out for a spot of retouching because the double sided tape I used to stick the journaling down had started to show through the paper and needed to be replaced, but while it is out I thought I would show you these mugshots of me taken during my school years.

I’m not keen on having my photo taken even now and I guess it goes back a long, long way because I can clearly remember really crying on one occasion when the photographer came to visit my Infants school. It took the teachers ages to get me to stop and in a state that looked photogenic. I might add that the said photo isn’t amongst the ones I’ve scrapped here.

I’ve attempted to make the page look a little like a Black Board and the colours represent the colours of my school uniforms.

You might also notice that I’ve given myself 10 out of 10 and a Gold Star, Lol!

You can read a little more about Sue Hyde's school days over at Family Footprints In The Sands Of Time.

My first scrapbook layout of the year ………and it’s of Me!

As you can see, I’ve completed the LO for my heritage album that I was about to start on Wednesday, it’s just about finished, although I’m considering adding a little charm or something just under where I’ve put my date of birth. Not that I have one yet, so I’m off to see what I can find.

If you hop across to Family Footprints in the Sands of Time you can read all about me.

I have to say though, that as I read it back to myself I thought I sound like a sad lonely sole but I promise you I’m not, honest, Lol.

Happy Crafting!

Sue
