A Day At Miss Annette's Scrap House

Yesterday was our fortnightly get together at Annette's for our Scrappy Saturday. We always enjoy our day together, lots of creating, LOTS of talking and a fair bit of eating :)
I was a little more organized yesterday , didn't take quite as much as I usually do, had my photo's picked and a idea of what I wanted to scrap. (I usually arrive with NO idea)

The first layout I wanted to do was of a photo I remembered I had of me and my Cousin Jenny. She is very ill at the moment, so I have been thinking of her a lot. We are cousins , but have always been good friends. I wanted it to be soft and girly and wanted to use the pretty PP.



I have had the PP so long I am not sure what brand it is. The little bird is from D-lish https://www.facebook.com/pages/D-lish-Scraps/388505156420
The bird cage is Kaisercraft,  The satin seam binding & hat pin are from Tattered Inspirations http://tatteredinspirations.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/neglectful-me.html 
The paper Doily is from LilRedRocket http://lilredrocketbuttons.blogspot.com.au/
Prima flowers, Little pink crochet flower from Annette, thanks gorgeous , Brad in the centre is Making Memories from Craftqueen. 
Journalling tag is Kaisercraft
White Crochet doily is from ChipChopShop http://www.etsy.com/shop/thechipchopshop
The gorgeous little blue flower with the charm is from My2Angels http://www.my2angels.net/
The soft Tulle is From Craftqueen
And some close ups 



Annette lent me this gorgeous Martha Stewart Punch, to make this edge.



I don't remember a lot of my childhood but when I saw this photo for some reason I remembered the dress I was wearing was lemon and I loved it. 

Next layout is a photo of my three brothers that I have always loved. We don't seem to get snow like this anymore .
