MAINLY PHOTOS

 

It has been  a wet weekend so plenty of time to create.

This was created using  TIM HOLTZ cabinet card die and KANBAN stamps .

I  used one of my original vintage photos for the centre ,and a copy of the young girl under a glass slide on the left. The background paper is from a 110 year book of quotations.Distress inks were used to age.

 

 

 

ATCS made for the MOTHER EARTH swap over at  http://milliande.ning.com/

hosted by LOUISE

Quotations all taken from 110 year old book .

 

DEADLY SINS  journal page from LOREN

GENIE IN THE BOTTLE page also from LOREN.

She also sent extra BLUEBIRDS OF HAPPINESS

 

I know a little boy with the wonderful name of OCEAN  who is 3 and very very shy. I have tried so many times to talk to him (WHEN HE IS WITH HIS MUM ) but no joy. So you can imagine how delighted I was when I met them the other day and he had drawn me a picture.

I think that is me bottom right with my Black Labrador Wilson.

How wonderful .

 

TODAYS RANDOM IMAGE  for you to use.

SUN PRINT AND PHOTOS

 

I did another sun print this time with eucalyptus

.

Paper before exposure to light

leaves placed on

wait about 5 minutes  for paper to turn light blue

remove leaves

soak in water for 1 minute

allow to dry naturally

This also will be added to the journal which Trine made for me.

A few photos taken on my trip to BATH today.

 

This reminds me of someone scratching their head

 

 

And this one someone stretching their arms.

 

I did not take this but as some of you may know this is

The Roman Baths

 

Two random images today.

30 YEARS AND COUNTING

 

30 years ago today the weather was not as sunny as today, but it was dry and bright and I spent the morning decorating the village hall for our wedding reception. We had decided not to go down the catered option at a hotel we wanted to do everything ourselves. Friends ,family and villagers all joined in and we had a great day

It was very relaxed and after the meal everyone chipped in with the cleaning up.Those who wanted to  came back  back to our newly built bungalow to wind down. We had no internal doors and only a very basic kitchen but that made it even more special.

I will only post a couple of photos

My two youngest Bridesmaids

Sisters Eleanor on the left who now lives in the Cayman Islands and her sister April who lives on Vancouver Island and they both have their own adorable children.

And the Happy Couple

Celebrations are great ! although not good for the waistline .

1kg of chocolates .

 

 

Also today the last of the Bluebirds flew in

From Amanda in Florida

This photo does not do them justice  Amanda has used an original photo of a Blue Jay  that she took in Colorado. each one slightly different  with photo editing and just perfect.

 

Last but by no means least Cards from Dawna in Ontario.

Each card is different and has a meaningful quote

.

Tomorrow the last of the bluebirds will fly from this nest and I would like to thank everyone who took part.

TREASURE

 

I was given a bag of goodies today and I cannot wait to use them.

 

I took several photos of the eucalyptus logs as they are drying out.

I then created a collage with Picasa

I also used one of the images with the Random image I posted on yesterdays blog.

This was done using Picnik.
