Catching Up

I'm back again

Took longer than I thought.....

So, what have I been up to for the year
I have been away?

Still scrapping up a storm.

Teaching weekly classes and trying to
get my new house (over a year now)
just the way I want it!

Today I want to share a layout of
my youngest Granddaughter,
Olivia.

This was a pack of papers I bought about
TEN years ago to make layouts for
my eldest Granddaughter.... LOL!

I've been having a massive clearout
of my scrapping supplies and came across
them so decided to make some layouts
and finally get Olivia's album started!

Coming Soon.......

More layouts....

Shadowbox.....

Canvas....

Mini Albums....

Altered Items.....

Even some cards....

Full details and lots more photo's for
all these projects coming soon.

One of my favourites being the shadowbox
which I made from a
£1.50 photo frame.

See you again soon.

Welcome dear friends.

 

It's my turn to post over at the

 Stuck On U Sketches Blog

 today, with my

 interpretation

 of Leah's wonderful

 sketch.

 

A photograph from 1934 of my

 maternal Grandmother,

 Aunt Nan, and

Aunt Liz.

 

 

Leah's great sketch...

 

Continuing with my endeavour to

use old papers, these are

 from the

 "English Rose"

 collection from

 Kaiser.

I bought the gorgeous lace and trim

 from M & J Trimmings when

 I was in New York

last year.

The flowers are from

 Prima

 "Parisa Winston Mix"

and the green flourishes

 are a die from

Tattered Lace

 "Flourish Swirls".

The cameo, doily, hat pin

and seam binding are from

Tattered Inspirations

 "Springtime Love" mini kit.

 

Thank you for dropping in today.

 

Now head on over to

 Stuck On U Sketches

 and join in the challenge.

 We love to see your

beautiful pages.

 

Remember, my fellow

 SOUS Sisters post daily,

 for lots of inspiration.

 

See you over there.

 

Love & Hugs

 

Happy New Year

 

Happy New Year everyone!

 

Here's hoping 2015 will bring

all the peace and happiness

 you desire!

I'm going to share with you a

 perpetual calendar I made

 last year with the gorgeous

 Place In Time

 papers from

 Graphic 45.

 

I seriously hoard G45!

 

It takes a lot of will power to

 actually use them!

 

However, I am so glad I did.

 

I will showcase each month's

 page on the 1st of

the month.

 

So, here is January.

I have placed a photo on each

 page of all important

 birthdays.

 

My birthday is in January!

 

Photo taken Christmas Day

 2013!

There are two large pockets

on each page to place birthday

 cards, reminders, etc.

 for that month.

 

Will show closer photo's of pockets

 in February. These photo's were

 taken in a hurry today - where

 does time go!!

I fashioned a store bought frame

with three hooks, and when

 January is over, February

 will take its place.

 

The frame hangs in my

 living room - love it!

 

Happy New Year again.

 

Love & Hugs

The gorgeous sketch from

This page really sparkles!

Sketch Reveal at SOUS!

Welcome to my Blog today

 dear scrappy friends.

 

This post has been scheduled,

 as I am winging my way back

 from a fabulous week

 in Los Angeles.

 

The great sketch from our Leah,

revealed today at

Stuck On U Sketches,

was just made for these

 papers and my photo's.

 

This coming Sunday is

Remembrance Sunday,

and Tuesday 11th November

 is Armistice Day.

 

On Tuesday, the last poppy

 will be added to the stunning

 "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red"

Tribute at the

 Tower of London.

Which marks the

 100th Anniversary

of the outbreak of

World War One.

 

On Tuesday there will be

 888, 246 poppies

in the moat around the Tower!

 

Representing the

 British and Commonwealth

 lives lost in the war.

 

One of these ceramic poppies marks

 the life of my

 Great Grandfather,

Charles A Tedford.

 

He died on 26th April, 1915,

 at Ypres in Belgium.

He has no known grave,

but is honoured on the

 Menin Gate in Belgium.

 

On 16th October,

my Great Grandfather 

was honoured at the

 Tower of London,

on that evening's

Roll of Honour.

 

I was there.

 

I made a 24 hour trip to

 London to witness one of the

 most moving tributes

 I have ever seen.

 

The poppies are a spectacular,

 humbling sight.

 I am so glad I was able to see it.

 

The tribute will be dismantled

 after Armistice Day, and

the poppies have all been sold,

 with proceeds going to

 appropriate charities.

 

I have bought one of the

 poppies, to honour my

 Great Grandfather.

 

To own a piece of this

 fabulous tribute will be

 an honour for me!

 



 

I have rotated the sketch

 clockwise, to accommodate

 the stunning poppies

 already on the paper.

The papers are from

 Kaiser

 "Remember Me"

 Collection.

With Collectables from the

 same collection.

And, a wee bit of black lace

 from my stash.

The papers and photo's are

all that are needed here.

Here are a couple more photo's

 from my 24 hr trip!



In honour of Charles A Tedford

1886 - 1915

 

Now, head on over to

 Stuck On U Sketches

 and see what my

 SOUS Sisters

have done with the sketch!

 

Then, we want to see

your interpretations.

 

So, please join in at SOUS!

 

See you there...
