Sketch This #86, Butterfly Crafts #11 and The Creative Type # 17

Sketch This  (#86) have a single photo LO for their latest sketch which I've turned on it's side.

Butterfly Crafts (#11), challenge us to use our favourite Disney characer for inspiration and

The Creative Type (#17) challenged us to use numbers on a LO

What did I do? I pondered Butterfly Crafts challenge for a few days until it dawned on me that I loved Sleeping Beauty as a child. The photo of my youngest nephew was pefect for this. I cut the title on my ROBO using a free Disney style font. As for using numbers, I found I had a sticker that said '1 of a kind'.

Journalling reads "Kieran you are '1 of a kind'. You manage to sleep through a party, yet when you're in bed you hear a pin drop!"

I've given up trying to use the borrowed camera for photos of my craft, so have scanned this and pieced it together. As I don't have any fancy software it's a little (or a lot) hit and miss, so appologies for the look of the image. I hope it doesn't spoil it for you. I will be replacing all the latest photos with new ones once I get my camera back (or a new one).

Thanks for looking

Take care, love and hugs

Sketch This #79

Sketch This have a new sketch on their blog ~ #79. Handy really because I just fancied losing myself in some scrapping and didn't have a clue what I wanted to do. I saw the sketch and started looking for a couple of photos. Well, one kept drawing my eye and was almost screaming at me, so I gave up and went with it.

The photo is of one of my Mum's cousin's on his wedding day 22 years ago this year. This morning his wife died suddenly and her death has rocked us all. If she was ill even she didn't know about it as she would have talked to Mum. My thoughts and love are with Frank and everyone who knew Ann. She was a ray of sunshine and so loved. She and Frank were always smiling no matter what. They were so hard working on their farm too, yet had time for anyone and everyone. I know Ann will be missed by so many people.

I can't do much, but here's my tribute to the lady that brought happiness into the lives of so many and to the gentleman who found her, captured her heart and gave her his.

Also, today would have been my Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary. Love you both to pieces and miss you so much Dad.

Thanks for looking

Take care and please don't put off until tomorrow to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you and to give them a hug/call/visit. For some, tomorrow will be too late.

Love and hugs to you all from my little corner of the world
