A little bit of this and that!

Nanny Belle....

Today is not such a good day for me. Today my Nanny Belle passed away. We got the call this morning to say that she had been taken to hospital but things were not looking good. We all rushed to the hospital to be by her side. We got to say goodbye. We were with her when she passed away. It was hard to say goodbye but it was comforting to be with her during that time. To get the chance to see her one last time.
Nanny Belle you will be missed by so many. The legacy that you and Pop left behind will live on for many many years. Love you Nan.

Here is another layout that I did for a challenge over at Scraploot. This one was hard! I had to use Pink, White, Black, Orange & Blue together. Not colours that I would normally put together but loved how this turned out. This is my gorgeous friend Nat.

Pink - chipboard lettering, chipboard heart and pink in the journaling block
White - used to matt the photo
Black - used to matt the photo, journaling block and black brads
Orange - Dots in the PP and buttons
Blue - patterned paper and thread in the buttons

I made another little mini today using the Heidi Grace Only Time  collection available at Lincraft this month.
This little mini uses the papers as well as the journal prompts and dimensional words. It is a bit hard to see but the front cover has a dimensional word that says "family".
The inner pages are shipping tags, vellum tag and jewelery tag. Co-ordinating file tabs for the pages as well.

Another challenge layout that I did over at Scraploot. This time round it was multi photos, punches, rub-ons and cut-out patterns.
This was a fun layout that came together really quickly.
Scenic Route PP. I have used co-ordinating paper from the range and cut out the stars as an embellishment.
MM rubons and AC chipboard for the title. Have punched out a file tab where the 7gypsies date sticker is.
