At long last I am here in Skipton with my Daughter and family, Journey was very uneventful and straight forward for which I thank the Lord. Not too tiring either.
I brought up some little cars for Daniel and all we heard for the next half hour after I gave them to him was 'new cars' said in a very excited voice. Of course I had to scrap that.
Helen and Andy are both playing games on their computers so I thought I would do another digi layout from one of the photos I took today
The SLYMI challenge this week was a sketch challenge this gave me an idea for another one of my little treasures.
Another LO of Daniel. I used PencilLine sketch 124 for my inspiration I do find them a good place to start
Well my roll was rudely interrupted by Swine Flu, this is the first day since last Wednesday week that I feel human again, still not completely better but well on the way, now need to build up my strength again, then perhaps I can go up to Skipton to see my family.
In the meantime I have been scrapping today and done the weekly challenge, which was to use Love as the theme, use five of something, incorporate memories and use a technique you hadn't used for a while.
I have scrapped very few of Helen and Andy's wedding photos and most of those I have scrapped I have done digitally so I am now on a quest to make an album of some of the photos with paper and elements. I thought this one very appropriate as the memory incorporated here is John, for as the journalling says:- Although your Dad couldn't lead you down the aisle his presence was there in the form of his beloved hat.
I made five poppies from a spray of artificial flowers with a brad and fibre centre and used my heat gun to create to golden swirls.
Finished another page for My Little Treasures album last night, really beginning to get the hang of scrapping on such a small scale.
This one, Blue Bird, is a scraplift from a layout by Lythan Nevard in the September addition of Scrapbook Trends. I am pleased how it has turned out.
I used white textured cs, K&Co Addison Stitched strips pp (all from one piece), Ribbon, bling flowers Papermania (I think) and the transparencies I made using a dingbat font.
A place for me to put the pictures of layouts I have done that I am pleased with, to put in the poems I write and to add snippets of things that have caught my eye
