Music Lover

I came across this photo of my daughter Margaret probably aged about 3 (wish I had dated my photos) - a long time ago (she is now 30!). She loved performing and would sing and dance for all and if there was a musical instrument around she was there!


I used Basic Grey "Scarlet's Letter", Fancy Free collection "True Spirit" and Mignon Clift "Symphony" papers; Kaiser Brad; felt flowers & letters (MM) and Definitions badge & doily from Greatest View.

Thanks for your advice Kim - I'm trying to get more detail onto my pages without feeling its too cluttered.

Obsessed!


How obsessive is it when you start colour co-ordinating your washing with pegs!

For the baby
My daughter Margaret has a friend whose just given birth to a lovely baby girl so because I need any excuse now to scrap I made a card and gift bag for her - quite pleased with my efforts.

First Challenge Attempt!

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time as I've decided to have a go at the Get Picky challenge no 17.
I found a paper in my stash "s.e.i Kitty's Place" which just seemed perfect and then everything just flowed from there. Of course I had to include a flower and button from Greatest View.
The photo inspiration was my boys 1984! as much as I love them now I do miss those days when they were little and life seemed so innocent.

Smile

This is the layout I did when participating in Gail's on line class. I had such fun doing it and I learnt lots about making tags. Can't wait for her next class.
 This is my eldest son James with my Dad. Taken several years ago can't remember when pre 2005 as the photo is not on my computer.

Tough Critic

Bub is always near to offer her opinion when I'm scrapping.


Of course it becomes quite challenging when she decides to assist by inspecting the embellishments and well what  better place to settle but on the papers sometimes even the layout in progress!

Beautiful Brides

This is Hiromi our lovely Japanese doll (only 5ft ). She is such a sweet, kind and loving being.


After my on-line lessons with Gail I'm learning how to add  more interesting embellishments by  clustering and layering I just love the pins from Greatest View and I used a canvas label.
Farah is a gorgeous Chinese / Pakistani girl, caring and loving. She is a wonderful photographer.  Farah  is  a no frills girl so I didn't want to go overboard with the layout but I think it still needs a title - haven't really found anything all ideas and suggestions appreciated.
The vellum butterfly is from Farah's invitation.

Yes there is another of those lovely pins!

Just Beginning!

Well here I go - not to sure how this will work but hopefully I can share some scrapbooking and maybe even photography (when my daughter-in-law gets back from Africa and can teach me more!).


I'm hoping that I can get some feedback and ideas as I'm fairly basic in my attempts.


These photos are from Fathers Day 2004 - such happy memories -  I miss Bruce so much and we had such a wonderful family day.



 This is my attempt at clustering using the pin embellishment from Greatest View.
