Remembering Dad

So here we are 3 years on, I still think about Dad every day, there is always something to remind me and it is often humorous, he had a wicked sense of humour.
As you know I have been enjoying looking through the old photos and I thought what better way to remember him that to make a mini digital scrapbook album. The music on it is something he used to sing at the top of his lungs on a Sunday morning when I was still at home.

I made the Scrapbook album using the My Memories Suite, I have to admit that I am hooked.

Candy winner and a card

Another gorgeous image today and then the winner of My Memories Suite.

My card today was made using Handmedowns by Saturated Canary Digis and she’s just so lovely, I I kept the colours simple and added rose trim to soften the appearance of the card

I added some buttons and flowers that my wonderful friend Katie sent me from the US and some pearls to finish.

The Lovely Sharon has won

Sharon in Arizona said...

Oh my Jak - what a wonderful site!!!! This looks like a great product!!!!! And the choices - I could easily spend the whole day on their site alone. And you asked to pick a favorite????? Very difficult, but A Grand Day Pack or Moments of Every Day would be perfect to start scrapping my two beautiful granddaughters. Thanks for this great tip and offer, Jak. Hugs, sharon :o)

Fa la la la la!

I’m not afraid to say that this image took me a while to colour, I love the result I got though, sometimes after I merge a few images ready to colour I look at it for a good while before I start, then once I start I keep taking a break from it and keep walking away and only doing little bits at a time, it seems to stop me from making hasty colour decisions.

So the images used are Charlie Caroling, Maisie Caroling, Victoria Caroling and  Christmas lamp post or you can buy them in a set Ragged Carolers from Mo’s Digital Pencil.

I used the Martha Stewart border punch for the pine needle frame I also used my Copic Airbrush for the background and finished with ribbon, a bell and a couple of pearls
