Poppies

Hello  Everyone,

Just because they are so beautiful, I thought I'd share these orange poppies today.

Luckily, I popped out to photograph them this morning because the heavens have just opened and I dread to think what damage the downpour has done. Nature can be so cruel and flowers so fleeting.

Scrapbook Layouts 2022 - No's. 19-21

Hello, 

I'm back to share three more layouts. 

No.19 - January Week 4

Not much to say about this PL style page except that it's interesting to look back and remember how pleased I was to get a new kettle! Sad too, to remember my two lovely aunties - one my dad's sister and the other my mum's - and I loved seeing the photo my cousin posted of Muriel and Cyril on their wedding day. The Prima Madeline rub-ons I used here were old but still worked which is not always the case. 

No.20 - Selfie Fun

This photo is of my daughter and granddaughter fooling around taking selfies during one of the many lockdowns. I'm sure my inspiration for this layout was another scrapper's work but I can't remember whose. The clusters are built on a base of punched circles in various sizes - possibly my favourite base for all sorts of embellishments. In this layout it's butterflies (fussy-cut), flair (DAF) and bees (Bramble Fox). 

No.21 - Little Minnie

A recipe from the cyber crop on the Scrapbackwards FB group together with sketch No.12 from Scrap A Sketch provided the inspiration for this layout. I think I've used the photo, from 2015, of my great-granddaughter on a page before but why not - she looks so cute in her Minnie Mouse outfit! I'll make sure it goes into her grandmother's album this time. The papers are from an old Disney collection, the Minnie Mouse sticker was from a set found in a local shop and I couldn't resist the ladybird flairs from DAF. 

Once again, that's it from me today. I'll be back, hopefully, soon with another layout share.

In the meantime, take care and have a lovely day. 

Bye for now,

Elizabeth

Scrapbook Layouts 2022 - No's 16-18

Hello Everyone,

I've slipped back, again, with sharing layouts made this year so far. My only excuse is that there are not enough hours in every day when you are a carer. Alan is still struggling to get well. There are days when he seems to be making progress followed by days that are not so good. We're learning to take each day as it comes.

That was something of a long-winded explanation as to why I'm not blogging regularly but I still intend to keep it up whenever possible. So here are the next three layouts made. 

No. 16 - Our Meg

This photo of my lovely sister was taken before she moved into a care home in Aberdeen to be near her daughter and granddaughter. She has MS and I miss her so much now she is so far away. The layout was based on sketch and prompt on the Dotty About Flair FB group and it's made almost entirely with scraps and leftovers 

No. 17 - January Week 3

This page is another week recorded in a style that mimics Project Life using leftovers from various Mind The Scrap kits. The labels and viewfinders were downloaded from NicoleJones911. 

No. 18 - A Sparkling Night

Photo for my grandson's wedding album. The firework display was the perfect end to a perfect day. The layout is based on Scrap A Sketch FB group's sketch No.21. 

That's today's three pages but there's more, so many more, and I really must try to catch up. 

Take care everyone. 

Bye for now.
