Thought I would fit another layout and blog post in before I have a break for a couple of weeks :)
Yesterday I brought these gorgeous Kaiser flowers and JUST had to use them straight away, I just love the colours. So...... this is a layout of three aunts of mine. I just used teal paint swiped to create the frame of the photo & added a few bits and pieces. A bit different for me, I always have to tell myself to STOP as I keep adding and adding lol. The beautiful aqua Satin seam binding ribbon is from craftqueen, http://www.craftqueen.com.au/ I love it and Nicole has it in many gorgeous colours. The beautiful badge is from scrapfriends http://scrapfriends.com.au/ I am loving them as well and have my eye on a few other products when I get back.
I wasn't going to journal on the layout , as I don't like my writing and I liked it as it was. But then in later years my kids are not going to know who they were. Maybe they would remember my Auntie Nanie as they knew her when she was alive, but not the other two aunts.
So I felt I had to say who they were and a little about them. My Auntie Al and Auntie Mary were sisters and lived next door to each other ( you would think they would live together) both never married, but then Auntie Mary was quite stern and set in her ways, so maybe she was to hard to live with. Auntie Al was engaged once but he cheated on her and that was that, she travelled a lot.
My Aunt Nanie ( whose real name was Philomena) and also was called Tunny, is my Mum's sister. She gave the best hugs ever and I never ever heard her say a bad thing about anyone, I loved her to bits.
So that is the story of my three aunts, hope I haven't bored you to bits.
I will miss not having computer access, my hubby doesn't know how I am going to survive! but look forward to catching up with what you have all been up to when I get back.
