Last week I took a break from blogging as one of my very best friends from Nova Scotia was spending 3 glorious days with us.
We spent our time together visiting, lunching, shopping, crafting and chatting until 1 am each night.
{Phew, was I tired! This ol’ gal isn’t used to late nights anymore!}
We first met through scrapbooking more than 12 years ago, where we formed a scrapbook group 5 friends and we called ourselves “The Layout Ladies”.
Over 3 years, we enjoyed several eveningsof scrapbooking together, shopping trips, eating out and retreats until I moved away almost 6 years ago.
So last week when my ‘bestie’ came to visit, I suggested we spend a night scrapbooking together…just like old times.
I convinced her to make a photo tray with me.
I had made 2 photo trays for gifts at Christmas, but I have been wanting to make one just for me.
My bestie made one of her little granddaughter.
My chosen colour scheme was blue & green…but you knew that already, didn’t you?
I just love the simple fun of this project.
It can be done in under an hour.
My bestie made her’s in this pink & peachy colour scheme.
I think it turned out fabulous, yes?
Her little granddaughter is just precious.
I cannot tell you the joy my friend has in her life from this little person.
I highly recommend crafting with friends…it’s the best quality time together!
I don’t do enough of it…and I really miss it!

I can attest to the joy your friend is getting from her precious granddaughter, Angie! I love both your photo trays. Do you have a particular line you like to get your supplies from? I am doing a green and blue theme as a surprise photo tray for my daughter and thought I'd do another for myself, too. {My Christmas one had the 12 smaller slots}.
Angie I love this!!! Where did you find the photo tray?
I love both of those! I've given up scrapbooking but I still love it so I'm always looking for fun fast projects like this! I might have to copy this one too 🙂
These are wonderful! What a beautiful way to create a memorabilia! Enjoy the wonderful weekend, Kellie xx
this looks so cool…

Happy Friday
Your photo trays turned out great! I bought a photo tray almost a year ago at a scrapbooking convention. And . . . as no surprise . . . it's still sitting there totatlly empty. You've inspired me to get going on mine.
Thanks for sharing!
Where do you buy those photo trays?
