My Lucky Charm

Good morning all. I had a good day yesterday but boy was I shattered when I got home! Didn't buy a huge amount but did come home with a bag of fancy wools, knitting needles and patterns to knit some scarves for presents.......hopefully the recipients will receive them this coming Christmas but don't hold me to it!!!

Today sees the launch of a new kit from Trish at Template Dreams, it's called My Lucky Charm. Also available are clusters, word art and journal cards. At first sight it's very St Patrick's Day orientated but looking more closely the papers and elements are gorgeous and lend themselves to many occasions.

I decided to scrap some of the photos I took at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo last summer.

The colours and the plaid were the perfect backdrop for these photos. I arranged the photos on the first page into a collage in Picassa 3. Layouts were created in Craft Artist.

Photo Collage

Good morning all.

I was flicking through the challenges the other night (as you do) and found one for a photo collage with a link to Picassa. So I duly downloaded and made a photo collage with some more of last years holiday photos then created this layout. I was a bit disappointed that  you couldn't change the size of the photos yourself (or at least I didn't find a way!) as I would have liked to decrease the size of the main image to leave more space for the top and bottom border ones. Having said that I'm quite pleased with the result and will likely use it again.

Layout was created in Craft Artist using "Hey There" from Template Dreams.

I last visited Lulworth as an 11 year old and have always wanted to go back so it was great to be able to fit in a day out with hubbies Aunt when we were in Somerset last summer.

Use your Stuff - use a photo collage

(My stuff is my photos - I have more years than I care to think about waiting to be scrapped and although these ones are fairly recent in comparative terms they're still over 6 months old!! Don't think I'll ever catch up with myself.)
