Mum's Holiday Snaps. Well Some of Them!!






Okay Here are some things I made in the last few days. Yes Made!!! So exciting! This first pic is a close up of the following paper. I think I might do a layout of Michael in his work garb with this one. All that blue and Red!!

















Now the pink Flower was the first attempt at making a flower from scratch and for a first attempt I'm pretty happy with that. the blue one I used a button I made yesterday to form the centre of the flower.




And there's that paper. Quite grungy.




Other than that I have also done a few LO. as per usual. This first one is of my Baby Boy! He was just so darn cute wasn't he. Can you believe that he had silky soft STRAIGHT baby hair!!?

The Kit I used for this Lo was Designed by TerrellS and is called, "Tripping into Spring".


Ah Beautiful Ireland. This is when Mum was over in Scotland and she and Auntie Sadie went over to Ireland. They had this shot taken along the Antrim Coast where they did the Giants Causeway! Lots of Steps. The designer of the elements in this LO are Atomic Cupcake and the flower and ribbon are from the kit "Pistachio Cove" by Sarah Grimwood.



Now I love these pics of Mum on a Glasgow Street. All those cobble stones and the street is sooo narrow! This kit is by TerrellS too. This one is called The Romance Collection. this is such a lovely collection of elements and papers. And the Alphabet is all inlaid on individual tiles with roses burned into the tile. Just Beautiful!!

Well I think that'll just about do for today. I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day and that if you aren't a mother that you were good to your own Mum!

Have a good one!

Should I start Designing???


So you tell me? Do you think the elements and paper on the above Layout are of a good enough standard to offer as freebies as a designer? I really would like any feedback on this so don't be afraid to tell me what you think!! OK? This is a Big Step!!!

Woops!! Almost Forgot!


I forgot to show you my creation outside the computer. Don't you think these are fab?! I got the idea from another blog and when they looked like they might not last the distance on my fridge we decided to Laminate them. Well actually it was Michael's brilliant idea! Thanks Honey!


Hello Again. Ready for the next installment!!?



Well here we are another weekend. And Happy Mother's Day to all for Tomorrow. I am finally back up and running with my PSCS2. The little sucker was being a pain and closing whenever I tried to add text to the LO. Very anoying especially when I hadn't saved it! GRRR! So I think it's all good now. I really am going to have to cut my fingernails, I keep hitting the key above when I am typing. Plus I think it bugs DH as all he hears is the nails hitting the keys LOL. Also on the agenda today is colouring my hair. Yes If you've seen any recent pics of me she's a bit white around the hairline LOL. So just for my Mum for mother's day I am going to dye it again. There ya go mum!! No really, there's a card in the mail with a little something in it. I have a few more LO's to show. Surprised!!?? No I didn't think so. I downloaded some lovely kits from HODS yesterday during their 45% off sale. Huge savings and I then spent the rest of yesterday downloading them. Tee Hee. Couldn't wait!


The first one I did with TerrellS Romance Collection and it's of me and Leanne. I called this Friendship. I don't know if she will see it on the web. I might have to print it out and send it to her. The photo was taken at Chris' 18th Birthday Dinner at the Maypole Pub!

And this one is done with one of the kits I bought yesterday. Just love the colours don't you? this kit is Designed by Sarah Grimwood and is called Pistachio Cove (fabulous name eh?!) And of course the pic is mum with Chris just after coming home from the hospital. Yes he had dead straight hair and lots of it!!
Well I might post again this afternoon or tonight, we'll see how I go. Otherwise I hope you wake up to breakie in bed or something as good and have a lovely Mother's Day.
Hugs

The Romance Has Just Begun


Here's the latest one. Had problems all day with my program.Think it's okay now. Hope you like this one. I've started using TerrellS The Romance Collection so, you guessed it, you're going to be bombarded with Romantic pics and Wedding pics. But I also think these would work with teenage girl LO's and such.


Michael and I are off to be in the audience of The Sideshow, a new Standup comedy show on the ABC. It's being filmed at their studios at Ultimo, so we're going in tomorrow afternoon and having a meal before we go to the show. Should be a laugh, literally.

Before I go Thanks Jo for leaving me some love. It's so nice to have some comments left on the blog. Have a wonderful day everybody, wherever you are.

John and Amelia


This is a LO (Layout - for those who wonder what these initials mean) of Michael's Dad and Niece. I love the blues in this kit and the great elements. Da Blues definitely is a decieving name because I think it is very uplifting and doesn't give me "The Blues" LOL. Hmmm Ok so it wasn't that funny. Hope you like the layout. If you need to see a closer view just click on the image.


Also if you want to leave comments you can click of the word Comments at the bottom of the post and it will bring up a window for you to enter your thoughts. Go on be a devil. You know you want to!!!


Ok that's it for me today. Have a fab Day!


LO for Ila


Ok Here is the LO I did for Ila, my Mother in Law for Mother's Day. Similar to my Mum's LO but with different elements. The elements include some from Zazou and the ribbons are from Terrell as is the nifty Napkin that is in the ring. I hope she likes it. Ok off to do another Da Blues LO for TerrellS.
