LOOK AT MY SMILE!!!!

I was inspired to do this Layout from the challenge over on
Sketchy Thursdays. This is the sketch I worked from.

The Layout is of my dear Niece Ruby Anne, she is always smiling and happy go lucky very appropriate, the papers I used are called "happy go lucky".

Products used to make the Layout, Papers are Pebbles - happy go lucky.
American Crafts cardstock, flowers are all hand made in felt, title used alpha stickers by - my littleshoebox and american crafts.

Hope you like my Layout, and thanks for looking.

MOUNTAIN OF STASH!!!!

I keep saying, before I buy any more, I must try harder and make an impact into the mountain of stash I have, so last weekend I had a tidy up of the old craftroom and you know what I am going to say, well it looks to tidy now to go and mess it all up again, so what do I do, just that, but I am productive I do end up making a few layouts and doing the July challenge for Sarah's cards.

I have posted a few photos of the Layouts I have done, hope you like them, it has made a very small impact into my stash, I suppose you know where I am coming from.

SARAH'S MONTHLY CHALLENGE - JULY

Yes - It's that time again for a monthly challenge over on Sarah's cards and this month you can win £20 to spend on more delightful goodies, how good is that!!!
Here is my effort, the photo is of my beautiful Niece Ruby Anne.
I did have problems taking a photo of this as I used an overlay acetate sheet over the photo and the light kept reflecting this, so sorry for the poor quality of photo layout.

A VERY SAD DAY - MY BEAUTIFUL BROWN BEAR

Sunday morning May 8th I received a very early telephone call from my Husband at 7am, to break the very sad news that my beautiful boy had passed away, I was totally devestated and felt the whole World had collapsed around me.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.
In our Hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If love alone could have saved you Travis you never would have died.
Our Beautiful Brown Bear - We miss you Travis, Mummy Daddy and your baby Brother Albie and good friend Chico. X
