I'm sorry I haven't been around so much, but I managed to squeeze a layout in using Papermania Eau de Nil range - pretty papers and embellishments and a beautiful colour. I made the butterfly from the crochet trim and brought some pink and kraft colours into the mix which I really like. It got a bit messy, (which I also really like:). I recycled strips of wax paper left over from some thank you cards I made for a friend. I've used this photo many times... I need to bribe my daughter into letting me take more photos when we are together - she's flitting about all over the place and I can't pin her down! (Note to self - tie daughter down and make sure camera is handy!)
I've bought some gelatos which I'm dying to start into - I have been eyeballing them for a while and finally took the leap of faith! So I hope to upload my efforts if they are any good. I want to experiment with stamps to give a water colour effect on canvas - can't wait!
Anyway, here is "You I Admire", which is about my daughter's strength of character and ability to deal with the hard knocks of life. The (private) journaling is behind the layout.
