So I have a bit of catching up to do !
Firstly I would like to share my DT layout for A2Z Chipboard challenge, which this month is a gorgeous moodboard
Isn' it lovely , you can choose whatever inspires you from the board and use the colours aqua and teal ( my fave colours)
This is what I created
I used the A 2 Z chipboard picket fence and gate set to create a scene. I wanted it to look like the entry to the train station.
If you pop over to the A2Z blog post I have described how I treated the chipboard piece and there is a link that will direct you to where you can get the chipboard pieces. This set comes as a set of two , but I decided I only wanted to use the one piece on this layout.
Thank you for calling by and we would love you to join in the challenge , there is a pack of chipboard to be won as well. Just upload your layout to our facebook page , which you can find here
Seeing I have a bit to catch up on I would like to share a just because layout. Well I was actually prompted to create it by a FMS Photo a Day. The prompt was ~ Best invention. My thoughts were the improvement in Medicine and treatments, which then inturned reminded me of a photo of a Aunt of mine that ran two private maternity hospitals back in the day. I have a old paper clipping that Mum had kept about this and I will tuck it in the layout for safe keeping.
I was happy to use old PP and embellishments that I have had in my stash for ages. I normally use the original photo's, as I think that is the whole point (unless I want to scrap a different size ). I have taken to scanning them first though , so I have a copy.
Aunt Mary never married and she certainly was a no nonsense person.
Thanks so much for calling by
Love, Peace and Kindness

It's a fave of mine...the subject, the colours & that lovely, lovely fence...just totally YUM! I'm so glad you're back online, too. That must've been very frustrating!!!
Gosh! You have interesting family members lurking in the background. What a fabulous thing to find a newspaper clipping, too. I really love that scallop frame....& the string winding its way up....looks great :):) I've finished now & am thinking about bed. Or another Cathy Kelly book I found!! NOT with Paris on the cover, heeheee!!!
Love the colors in the challenge board! Your layout looks fantastic, love the textures on the fence, and a lovely vintagey layout great background too! I hope your internet is fixed and working well now.. Terrible when they don't work!
The background paper you used is perfect for the vintage page Mary. I love the stacked embellies behind the photo and the story of your formidable Aunt. She must have been strong and brave back in the day, when women did not have a lot of power and control over their lives. Wonderful to have the newspaper clipping too, so that her exploits become part of family history.
