Life and other things
Firstly this word art might be useful
It is an older creation but I dredged it out as I needed it and so decided to offer it for download again - it had been 'retired'.
It is an overlay in both black and white versions which you may find useful. I may also do an updated version of it for later. You can download it HERE
The other thing I wanted to do today was share this page made for A Trip Down Memory Lane last month. I had so many pictures of the christening and couldn't wait to start scrapping them. Elinor looked so beautiful in her outfit - just like a little porcelain doll.
I did get into trouble for this as everyone was waiting to go to church and I wanted a picture of her all dressed and ready. I think it was worth the wait to get these pictures - I hope sam likes them too - she hasn't seen them yet. She keeps asking for them but I don't want to send them until she sees the book I have made for her!
The papers were just so lush and all glittered and flocked - they were from the Artsylicious range. They are the best glittered papers I have ever used as the glitter didn't come off and shed everywhere - and you know me and glitter - me no likey the mess.
I cut some flowers out of the glitter paper and also added some lace and together they really do mimic her gorgeous dress and slippers.
I used ghost letters and glitter and white paint but they were the devil's own job to photograph and take my word for it - they look much nicer in real life.
I have been dying to upload this page.

I came to get the awesome wordart - thanks, but I left with my own tiger, appreciation for the advent calendar, and inspired by your scrapbook pages. Do you do both digital and paper? I'm just dabbling in digital right now and feeling a little confused,
