Just Jack

I told you we had Jack for the afternoon the other day and we had wanted to take him to the seaside but as it happened the tide was in. We had already told him that we were going to buy a bucket and spade and that he could build sand castles.

So Granda to the rescue and as we couldn’t take Jack to the beach to play in the sand, good old Granda brought the beach to Jack.

Jack totally loved it and played for hours.

The next one is another from him watering the flowers for me.

Love that boy.

He is visiting us tonight and we get to get him ready for bed before his Mam picks him up.

I used Nitwit papers for my digital scrapbook layouts.

I used the My Memories Suite to make the layouts.

The Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal–1952/2012

I am bursting with pride for Chris my wonderful husband, he has been awarded The Queens Diamond Jubilee medal for his services in the Fire Brigade to the community.

This is his second medal for this as he also received one for Her Majesty's Golden Jubilee.

I thought you may like to see them both.

In the close up of the image you can see just how well the colours blend together. making it easy to get the light and darker shades working for you.

in my opinion anyone who struggles with the matching colours and shading will benefit from these sets.

Just Inklined to Hop–One Layer

Its that time again for the Just Inklined Blog hop and this month Toni is the host and has chosen One Layer as the theme.

You should have landed on my blog from Joyce if not hop back so you don’t miss her creation.

I know all of the girls have been working hard on their projects so remember to leave them all a comment for a chance to win a spot prize.

The image I used was The Blessing and can be bought from here

I have to say it wasn’t the easiest of themes, it is very difficult not to add more but this stretched the mind in a good way.

So simple yet so effective
