Hello dear friends, hope this post finds you well and happy, well it may be Christmas but there is no stopping the challenges they just keep coming, and this month at arTASTIC it was a doozy, for the full diva demand points you have a stable, gold embossing and and angel displayed on your page. I called in the big guns for this, prima papers, my a2z window which is actually looking into my stable and I gold embossed the word child and the star above the "i", the angel is on the right and is cut from a diary I once had. Hope you like the end result.
I just love arTASTIC, Shazza always manages to set "out of the box" criteria and I always really have to think about my layouts. Isn't this pic of Nate super cute....he is so gorgeous with his angelic face when he sleeps.
Friends Deb and Ange are on the DT for "Frosted Designs" so I participated in their Blog hop today, it was great, so much eye-candy and great prizes too. The layout you need to create has to incorporate bling or sparkle. I created this layout of "Angel" she is good friend Amanda Taylor's beautiful dog and I added kindyglitz to all the flowers and the trail of the butterfly and was totally guilt free as their is no Nate in this layout....
In this pic Nate is flying a kite but he let go of the string and it just flew off and luckily I caught him laughing his head off as he ran after it. We had a wonderful day at the park. We have tried several times since this day and unfortunately there has not been enough wind to fly the kites again. So I guess this makes this day extra special.
A few weekends ago we went to the O'Neill yearly Christmas get together and Nate got to catch up with my cousins kids, it was just wonderful, here is Harriet and Nate just looking out over Wivenhoe Dam. I had a great time catching up with my cousins, Aunt's & Uncles, and to see our kids playing together was just priceless. This photo is just another example of Nate growing up. Wow he is growing into a little man right before my eyes...SLOW DOWN......not too fast.......just a little longer.....
Love to you all and your families. Melxx
