Footloose & Fancy Free



Well at long last I have completed the LO that I set out to do some weeks ago. These photos were taken about 1.00am after my Niece's wedding and I just love them. The boys were all hungry so we stopped to get some pizzas. Well after being in a drought for so long the water running in the gutter was to much for my Mother-in-Law to pass up. At the age of 91 all dressed up she had a great time. So many passerbys stopped and took photos of her, it was rather funny. It didn't take much for Annabelle, Catherine & Jilly to join in.

The paper range is My Mind's Eye, with some of their embellishments. The Footloose & Fancy Free heading had a border of paper that didn't go with all the others that I had used, so I covered it with one that did blend in, so don't go looking for it LOL. I cut out the unbrellas and backed then with a glitter black cardstock, so it glimmers when different lights shine on it, and used foam tape to make them stand out. I typed up different words relating to the weather in English then French then Italian printed it out on transparence and have place them around the page. I then tried to make an unbrella, which turned out OK, but it was fun fiddling.

Beary Special




The left hand side of this LO we did in class on Friday night, and it was the first time that I didn't get.........

A. it finished or

B. the 2nd page to go with it.

Not sure what happened, but it was a great night and the LO is now finished and I just love it. We used the new Crafters Companion tool, which was good fun and I can see how it would be a great little companion to have, so I will have to add to my wish list. I had a fair bit of journaling to go with these photos, and not a lot of room so I had to do an extenstion, so I am hoping that it will pull out easily to read once in my album.
