FEEDING THE LAMBS

Hi everyone,

Whilst looking through my Mums old photo's I came across this one of her and her sister and their nephew feeding the lambs. I really love the photo, it really shows the country life they had, the old shed in the background and the chooks in the background feeding
I have used Kaiser Base PP, I am loving this range, so much you can do with it

there's that Chevron stamp Lizzy :)

I am quite liking the kaiser clear leaves as well. The button is from Craftqueen

I have added coffee stained canvas, some muslin and old lace, trying to keep with the old world , vintage theme.

Thank you for popping by, please let me know you called. It has been a perfect Autumn day here, just glorious



I live in Orange, we grow........Apples!



Have a wonderful Weekend and I hope the weather is glorious for you as well
Love and Sunshine

SCRAPFRIENDS SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hello, 

I Love the sketches over at Scrapfriends http://blog.scrapfriends.com.au/  and this one is no 
exception

I used the Kaiser "In the Attic" range

The photo's are of my Mum and her sister. Mum is the one on the top step

quite stylish back in the day. I have done lots of layering

Also I did this layout with left over papers from the Marigold range.

This is my husbands mum, she died when they were very young, she was only 40 when she passed away, so this layout is for him.

Thanks for popping by, hope your week is super fabulous
Sunshine and Happiness
