Jack Two Years Old

It’s hard to believe that our beautiful Grandson Jack is now two years old it only seems like yesterday that I was announcing his arrival.

I thought I would share one of my favourite pictures from his Mam and Dads Wedding Day and Jack as Page Boy, his Mam had just arrived at the church and was telling Jack a tall story by the looks of things, just look at the concentration on his face.

Happy Birthday Jack!

Paddling with my Nanna

mummu in summer2

As a child I spent many a day with my Nanna and Granda at the beach and Nanna liked nothing better than to paddle in the sea, we would spend hours collecting pretty pebbles and shells and when we got home we would decorate plant pots with them, I even once got to decorate a small wall in her garden. I used to love the smell of the salty sea on them, I still today love the smell of the sea.

The image I used to day brought all of those memories flooding back the image is Mummu in Summer from Mo’s Digital Pencil thank you Mo.

Coloured with Copic Marker, the pretty paper was out of my stash I think it is from a My Minds Eye pad, a ticket stamped with Whimsy ticket stamps, pretty flowers and dainty dots from Dainty Paperie and a beautiful satin ribbon from Fantastic Ribbons 

Did I tell you my Nanna told the most amazing stories, not from a book, all from her imagination, she used to describe all the fine details and had me memorised I still remember some of them today.

Here is a scrapbook layout that I made about her. I’m the baby with dark hair and my cousin Susan is the fair haired baby.

Home Tweet Home

hometweethome2

Such a sweet image this one, Home Tweet Home from Mo’s Digital Pencil, so easy to colour too, I printed it twice and decoupaged the birds and the sign to add some dimension.

hometweethome

the image was cut out after colouring with Copic markers then the extra layers added with foam pads, I used the Cuttlebug and a Sizzix embossing folder for the leaf design and the bottom designer paper is by Stampin Up, I added some little birdie foot prints to that then used a fancy sentiment die by Spellbinders to cut out the sentiment, lastly I slotted a ribbon through the die and added some lace trim.
