I'm having trouble working out how the hell to scrap my pages from featherdale! I can't find any animals stickers apart from zoo ones, nor can I find any sites that show me how to quill kangaroos, crocodiles or bloody anything!

[Kay]

Bec have u tried the cheap stores, that sell the big sheets of stickers..?
I think I have seen some australian animal stickers there recently!

[mummy_bec]

Thanks Kay. Are they acid free though? I don't want them to mess up my pics.

[Kay]

Not sure :(

[Leanne]

[Abbie_Bay]

aww good luck bec, hope you find something.

[sexymummie]

ok, i kno this may have little to do with your layout bec, but have with your title maybe even use animal print cardstock on stencils for the title. even just googling animal printables should give u various ideas on other things you can print out on your acid free paper/ let us kno how it goes :)

No one comes from the earth like grass. We come like trees. We all have roots.
--Maya Angelou

poem#1
A cousin is someone who
takes time enough to listen,
who shares laughter, tears, hopes, and dreams.

poem#2
We’re from the same shoot,
The same family tree,
Into this world we sprouted
Call it destiny!
It’s cousin to cousin
A special thing
A closeness to which we’re tied,
And you’ve always been there
To laugh with me
Or even when I’ve cried.
Anyway I think it’s fantastic
That you were meant to be
A part of my life, my cousin,
You’ll always be special to me!

poem#3
Sometimes I wish we could go
back to our childhood days.
Yet here we are, both of us grown,
With busy lives and out on our own.
Things change, but you'll always be
My cousin, my friend, and loved by me.

poem #4
Sprouted from the same strong branch
of the _____ family tree...
Cousins by blood, friends from the heart,
Forever, you and me.

any of these help ya mummy bec ? if u need more, just ask :D

[mummy_bec]

Thank you soooooooo much!! Mwah Mwah! I'm going to use the 4th one!

[mummy_bec]

Cousins
my cousins and I are the best of friends
It's fun when we laugh and play
I'm so glad when they come around
I wish that they could stay
my cousins and I are the best of friends
I know that you'd agree
They are so kind and I'm so glad
That they're part of the family.


A Cousins Photo Shoot
Author: Beth Rogers

Oh, tell me, please tell me, is there a trick
to get cousins to sit still, even real quick?
One giggles, one wiggles, one tugs on another.
One crawls, one tickles, then they pile on each other.
At the end of the day, when all's said and done,
taking pictures with cousins, is way too much fun!


cousins come around
Author: unknown
When my cousins came around, there's a smile on my face
We laugh and play all day long, making memories from place to place
Friendships that will last through life are things you can't replace
So when my cousins come around, my family I embrace


we're from the same seed

Author: unknown
we're from the same seed
but grew up separately
my cousin, my friend
we're from the same tree
some things in common
that we share one-to-one
but other things are different
and definitely homespun
all that I can say is
i'm glad you're a part of me
and that the seed that was planted
is now our family tree
