Our Family

 Hi all, it's been a while but here is a project I recently completed.

And some close ups.

Until next time...

Goals

Here is my layout for the January challenge at More than Words.

  

I found this quote by Ryan Holiday that I believe sums me up perfectly.

I don't have one specific goal in life, instead there are many things

that I wish to achieve, at home with my family, at work with my peers and for me.

 

Here are some close ups.

Beautiful Things

Over on the 7 Dots Studio blog, the mood board from the September challenge inspired me to create the following layout 

 

 

I used the Under the Covers paper from the Dreamscapes Collection which is the perfect back drop for my photo.

I have these beautiful oriental lilies growing in my garden and in my opinion, are effortlessly beautiful .

 



 

So go on, head on over to the blog and join in the challenge.

Happy Birthday

It was my sister's birthday recently so I made her the below tag.

 

 

I still have a stash of old tags that I made when I first started. 

These are very simplistic and my styling has since changed.

So I've taken one of those old tags and made it more special and heartfelt

by using plenty of techniques that I've picked up over time.

Hope you enjoy!

Remember this Moment

I happened to come across the blog for Mixed Media & Art and found their challenge for April - Deep Inside.

My favourite colour is blue so there was no hesitation from me to enter a layout for the challenge.
 

 

My inspiration for this project has come from the beautiful blue hues, the repetitive patterns and the use of white to give balance.  I also really liked the layout sketch.

 

I enjoyed doing this project and invite you visit their blog and join in the fun.

Thank you

It's been a while however I found a window of time to complete this small project.

I wanted to thank someone who recently did a favour for me.


 I've taken a tag that I created a couple of years ago that was very
basic and have been able to adapt it to make this gorgeous creation.

I'm so pleased with the result.



Hugs, Kisses

The challenge for January on the More Than Words Challenge blog

is in celebration of their 2 year anniversary so what a more fitting way

to honour this than to use a photo of my youngest son celebrating his 2nd birthday!

 

 The word 'Birthday' is the inspiration for the layout and the creative challenge is to use tags.

I've tucked a couple of tags in behind the photo and incorporated bright colours, balloons and a few small toys.

 

Here are some close ups.

 

Both my son and I are very pleased with the outcome.
