NOT HAPPY JAN

Good evening all who have popped over to say hi! I'm afraid I've done something to my BLOG background/template and it's gone all "skewiff" pardon the spelling LOL I will have to spend some time tomorrow fixing it I guess - but I'd rather be working on my next project...please watch this space !! hope you're all having a great weekend ..and my quote of the day to (try to) remember is:
"Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight." Benjamin Franklin

FAMILY

here's another entry (not a winner tho !!) into Scrapping Outback's recent Cyber Crop...The photo is of my sister Angela's Christening in 1967...here are some close ups:- TFL :)

IMAGINE ! {if}

OK!, this is what I've been working on for the last 3 days...it's my submission for Mandy Collins' Tattered Angels challenge at Scrapping Outback...Whimsy & mystical…that’s what ‘Tattered Angels” GM reminds me of, hence this (outside my comfort zone) ‘ multicoloured, textured’ creation!!! The photo of my son Robin, princess grandaughter, Shyla is 3D’d with Scrap Dots. I used serviettes and Modge Podge for the base. I did try to mask but it just didn’t work well for me (see that’s a masked butterfly top right corner LOL). I covered the base in Glimmer Mist (colours I used are: Cranberry Zing (butterfly), Key Lime Pie (grass and leaves), Golden Terracotta (bird house and some background) and Glacier (has turned out much more subtle than I planned!); and here are a few close ups too...enjoy and laugh !!!
Thanks for looking everyone :)

Bloom where you are planted

Today I thought i'd share my 'white with one' submission for June at Scrapping Outback...criteria is that you have to do everything in the colour + white, specified at the beginning of the month. June was white.

“Bloom where you are planted” (Proverb)…LO is of me age 2 yrs, one of the few pics to be found of my late maternal Grandma’s beautiful flourishing garden – always full of flowers, fruit and vegies.  I loved the challenge of white with white...thanks for taking the time to look :)
