My first time colouring in over 2 years...

Well this weekend I finally got around to having ago at colouring again, they aren't brilliant but for a first go I am pleased with them both.  I do also have the Spectrum Noir Colouring Pencils which I haven't used before I might have ago using them over these two and see if they improve them...

This was my first go not happy with the dress but I do like how the skin and hair come out

My second go I'm a lot happier with this one could have just done with another yellow/orange on the dress

Ooh Shiny - One thing...

I've had great fun this weekend creating layouts using the new kits from Netta.  There will be another new kit released on Thursday so watch this space...

I don't have that many photo's of my Dad as he past away when I was 6. I love this photo, Mum and Dad had Whisky for 8 yrs and Mum is always telling me how I learnt to walk by holding onto Whisky. I wanted to highlight the golden colours in whisky's coat and I think the sunflower has done just that.

Made using the new kit from Creative Victorian Ooh Shiny, this is on offer for a few days too save 61% on the complete collection.  http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/cvd-oohshiny-collection.html

What Happened to August?

Well its September and already there is a bit of a chill in the air here in the UK.  I've had a busy August as my Mum ended up having two cataract operations on the same eye at two different hospitals last week and Steve has been ill these last few days with a very nasty stomach bug he's signed off work until Tuesday.

So I've had the two off them to look after, I have also just changed my car something I haven't done for over 9 years.  Gone from having a Corsa to a Nissan Note and I love it I have been going to Tesco's to get whatever food Mum or Steve fancy every day.

I have also got around to sorting out my alcohol markers and I am going to get back into colouring again.  I just need to get myself sorted out and just have ago again, it's been way too long since I've done any colouring.  I will post my attempt so you can see how rusty I am lol...

I have also treated myself to a Brother Scan N Cut machine I've not had chance yet to play with it but I am so looking forward to getting it out and see what I can make with it...

New Kit Compassion...

Sisterly Love - Compassion

Here's my page using Netta (Creative Victorian) new kit called (Compassion) I spent a long time choosing the right photo, I ended up using this one of my Mum when she was a teenager in the fifty's. This kit has worked so well with this photo.

KLDD New Kits

It's been a quiet month as only one of the designers I work with has done any new kits.  Sandy from Key Lime Digital Design has two new kits out this weekend, part of Mscraps Memory Mix.

This is the first kit it's a mini kit called, Midsummer Medley which is lovely:

This is me when I was about 8 months old back in 1968.

My next two layouts are from the Sweet on you kit, such yummy colours in this on:

 

I had great fun making these layout and they were quick too...

See the Sea...

Netta has a lovely new kit out that at first you might not think it would work for a lot of photo's but I found that it gave a lovely new take on doing a seaside layout.

This is the glass bottom boat at Looe harbour we were going to go on it but didn't have time so we are planning to go in August when we go back.

Kit used is Gloaming by Lonetta Avelar at 30% off this weekend

RIP Catherine...

It was very sad news the other day to find out that a fellow CT member from KLDD passed away after having a heart attack suddenly.  I've worked with Cath since I've been part off the KLDD CT team she will be missed by us all.  Sandy (KLDD) and Dana from (Danas Footprint Digital Designs) have dedicated their next kit to the memory of Cath and all profit will be given to Cath's family.

The CT members have been busy creating pages here are mine...

This is a photo of my Great Auntie Catherine at the top with her Grandmother on her left and friends from the ward she worked on, we think this is from 1954.

This is Steve enjoying the sun next to Looe harbour in June 2014.

Another brand new kit out this week from Aimee its from her Birthstone range and is lovely.

I've had ago at doing a more male page I wanted to document us putting our new shed up at the beginning of June and I thought this was a great way of showcasing a number of photo's I think this has worked well with this kit June Birthstone.
