heritage pages for the album






Finally getting near the end of my son's album, I had put off doing the heritage pages until this week. But I think i was in the mood and four new pages are in his book. 8"x8" pages are very different than larger pages and they can get overworked very easily, i am not sure that these are right yet but for the moment they will do.

The photo's are not great because my camera seems to be playing up. I need to finish this album in the next couple of weeks because UKS is having its cyber-crop and i want to concentrate on that.

knot knitting


I used the weekly challenge on UKS to make a double 8"x8" layout for my son's album. The little devil loved to get at my knitting, and this time he totally distroyed it. It gave me some fab pictures though and a chance to use my new paterns and cut scalloped edges, and squares.
I have also been playing on Wordle (http://www.wordle.net/gallery) The best site for making quick wordy backgrounds i used them to make backings for halloween cards this year, unfortunately i didnt get photos before the cards went.

comfy feet


This was my new LO for the uks weekly challenge. They asked us to scrap something that we take for granted. I thought of lots of things like my laptop, mobile, sat nav, and I couldnt make up my mind. Then I went to my grand-daughters birthday and put on a pair of heeled boots, that I hadn't worn for six months (summer means birkenstocks). When the party was over I meant to come straight home but had to go out on family business instead. It was agony and I ended up borrowing a pair of trainers to come home in - still I made up my mind what to scrap! :)
