Pages

When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

WOYWW 313 - an album to share

Well hello desk dashers and all who else pops by. You are very welcome!

Am linking up with Julia at her desk (Stamping Ground) to share mine -
So right side shows my typewriter under sheets of printed embellishments. I often print then add glossy accents, stickles or crackle to create my own accents for projects. Especially albums or Smash books where I don't want too many bulky items. And of course, there's my pens. 

My Wembley tickets waiting to be included in my album on top of Dylusions stamps. You can also see my Ebosser and my Pogo printer. That wooden storage block (left) is what I was given at the WOYWW crop for my birthday. Made by our Julia! It's perfect for all my bits and bobs.

Photos. Lots of them. All from my birthday week ready to go in my album I am creating. 
I shared the start of said album in a post HERE

I was going to blog another post to share the next pages, but I thought nah let's do it here!
So here's the next double spread detailing my actual birthday.  

Spot of journalling, selfie and other pics. 
More pics of presents and cards
Inside the main cover I've added this introduction it tells exactly what I did during my birthday week. I added these gorgeous embellishments. 
Here's the full page. I love how it looks and that girl image is from Some Odd Girl. I actually only used half the image. Only wanted her top half. Coloured her to be a bit like me! Lol 

Right that's me; I'm working on the pages that share our WOYWW crop. I have so many photos and things to include. Will share next time! 

Take care Zo xx

What a fab way to remember a milestone birthday. Love the little figure you used to help with the illustrations. Years ago I used to cut my sons birthday cards up, using the figures and things to illustrate his photograph album so I guess it was an early way of scrapbooking that I did. `Mind you they were bought albums, not ones I had made
What a treasure you will have when it is finished. Enjoy the making and then the looking.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx

She definitely looks like you, Zoe. Your pages are gorgeous. I love the colours with that animal print, it really makes your photos stand out.
Hope you are having a good week.

Your birthday book is a great memento :)
Many thanks for your gorgeous ATC!! It is beautiful! Now I'm dying to know, is it a beautifully coloured stamp? or a beautiful hand drawing?
I really can't tell :) It is so pretty! I hope you got one of mine?

Happy belated birthday and WOYWW. I do not seem to be good at getting to anything on time these days. LOL I even missed out on all the festivities last week - so bummed about that!
Love your pages and your colouring is fabulous!
