Just wanted to share a couple of recent layouts I have done, the first is for the current challenge at http:// www.orangepaperieandco.blogspot .com.au/2013/11/ some-more-layouts-from-dt-to-in spire-you.html where the lovely Jo has a sketch with the added criteria of fussy cutting and using die cuts. I used this stunning pic of my friend Susan Walters gorgeous little granddaughter Bella for my page. I gave the page to Sue as a gift and didn't expect the reaction I got, she was quite overwhelmed, made the work I put into this so worthwhile. A bit of a closie showing the gorgeous flower which I did mutilate by pulling apart, oh dear The second is so precious to me, it is my amazing cousin Sandra Nuttall with her new son Everett, who came into this world a bit too early and fought very hard to stay, thankfully a battle he won, the look of love and wonder on her face as she watches him sleep leaves me speechless.
