Smiling and a bit of a reveal

Some days are good days.

They are horrible stressful days that you don't want to repeat - but they are good days.

Having spent a fair bit of the day at hospital with Nigel - which was fairly horrible and stressful, the end result is a good one and so, stressful and horrible, but a good day.

Thank you all for your kind words, positive e mails and lovely support. You worked your power!

 

Now - I have a bit of a reveal today

You may remmeber that I was a happy bunny at the start of half term as I had a super lush DT collection from Karen at Charmed Cards and Crafts. She is always so generous and it is a joy yo be able to create for her.

I was working with a fabulous Graphic 45 collection - Typography and I have one of my creations to share.

You can buy the products over at her store here

 

This first page uses a vintage photo. Goodness that sounds hoprrid. How can I be so old that photos of me as a child are vintage!

 

I used the original and it was one of those small square photos - I took them all out of albums a while ago so they didn't deteriorate any more than they already had. I have lots of colour photos of me growing up but still a fair number of black and white as well. I have no idea why they used colour film sometimes and black and white at others. I can only guess it was a cost issue.

 

 

 

The photo is of my older cousin Ann and I on our way to Caroline.

Caroline was our caravan in Wales - nice and handy from the Midlands. She was based at Abberdovey and we always spent every holiday there (bit bleak in the winter but heck - it was a holiday)

 

We always used to travel there via Horseshoe Pass and would stop to feed the sheep ... or int he case of this photo stop to feed Karen to the sheep!

 

 

I had fun with lots f white stamping on the black card and the vintage elements were just perfect for a photo THAT OLD!!!

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• being home safely with the worry lifted and a hubby who, though uncomfortable, is healthier than I feared.  I can't think of anything I could be more thankful for.

I love the black background paper--- really makes everything stand out :-) I enjoy vintage--maybe because I'm an "antique" ;-)
I'm so glad to hear Nigel's report was good. Praise God! I know as a wife who has seen her husband go through some scary health events, good reports just lift such a weight.
Glad you enjoyed the video I sent :-D
