It's All About Me!!!

I've found another challenge blog - Lasting Memories....

They are at Challenge # 36 "It's All About Me"

So I thought I would have a go - don't do many layouts with a photo of moi....



Papers are the latest collection from Kaiser "Chapter One"



Flourishes are Twiddleybitz "Grapevine Borders"
Corner Flourish is Dusty Attic "Ornate Corner"



I have inked all the chipboard flourishes with Brilliance Ink "Graphite Black"



The wee roses are from my stash. They were yellow to start with, but a wee spritz of Glimmer Mist "Bahama Blue" soon changed that...



The stamped word 'Original' is from Kaiser, as are the wee black pearls....



The photo is of me, taken last April in Dubai. We were on our way to have lunch at the Burj Al Arab - THE 7 star hotel. Wow, was that an experience.....



More layouts to come with this collection.....

Thanks for dropping in again....

ADDIT:- I made Top 3 with this layout at Lasting Memories....yay!!!!

And my three adorable granddaughters - Rebekah, Erin & Emma - how lucky am I....


They are all now in Scotland - daughter and son-in-law moved back to Scotland in January this year, for a couple of years, and boy, do I miss those kids....

But, I will be off to Scotland again soon, so not too long before I can smother them in Granny kisses - count down has begun.....

Thanks for dropping in....

Love to "see" you....
