Well, so much for posting regularly.  Still, better late than never.  Several things to post today.

First - my digi calendar page for February.  This is a photo of our pet cat Ellie - queen of the house.




Secondly a new digi layout.  This is a photo taken in York last year.  The kit is Natural by Lilas Designs which I bought on Scrapbookgraphics.com.  The layout is in Scrapbook Magazine this month, on the letters page.  I love this style of page and it's so much easier to achieve using a digital kit, not to mention a great deal cheaper than a paper version would be.  Can you imagine the cost of all those metal embellishments.


I am still enjoying paper scrapping though.  As a complete change from my usual style I tackled this project life style layout as a challenge on UKS call simple recipes.  They have one challenge a month and this is the first time I've tried it.  The photos are of my daughter Sam with her father.  Sam is nearly 47 - so the photos go back a long way.  I deliberately used only papers and embellishments which have been in my stash for a long time.

My final picture for today is a set of metal ATCs for a swap on MixedMedia - a group I've been a member of for a long time.  I ran copper sheet through some ATC sized embossing folders before colouring with alcohol inks and adding embellishments and a backing card.
