Butlins

Butlins in Minehead has always been the destination we went to on holiday when I was growing up I went every year from the time I was one until I was fifteen. I have a lot of great memories of the going every October.  The Canadian Geese (even if they steal bread) Wizzy World, the funfair, the market in town and eating ice-cream in the restaurant on the sea front.

 

Now I haven’t been there in 10 years but I’m excited that I’m going back next week. I am SO EXCITED.  Now I just have to figure out what to pack.

Those Eyes

I love this picture I took by accident of my nephew yesterday and knew right away I wanted to make a layout with it. But it has been really hard work to make something that I like.


I've looked at sketch after sketch and could find a layout I loved. So we've had twelve different placement of the pictures. 4 different picture sizes. The picture has been in colour (the ring he is looking through was bright purple) black and white and sepia. There were six different titles. 14 different colour schemes, countless pieces of patterned paper being opened and dragged back and forth. Don't even start me on embellishments or different alpha's that have been tried. But finally after ten hours I made a layout which I love. So I guess it was worth it in the end.

Catch up with project 365

I’ve been very good so far I’ve only missed one day. I didn’t remember that I hadn’t taken a picture until gone midnight so I took a picture the following day of somewhere I had been the day before.

Another layout

A layout of my paternal great grandmother Gladys and her seven children. The photograph isn’t the best quality as it is a scan of a photocopy but it is the only picture I have of all of them together.

In A Field of Daisies

I was looking through some old photos and found this picture of my grandmother (on the right) and my great aunt. The photo was black and white but I tinted it to get a the look I wanted.

In Flanders Field Layout

I read this poem when we did War Poetry as part of my English Lit A-Level (about seven years ago) I don't know why but it came back to me today and I've been repeating the first line in my head all day so I had to make a layout. The Poem is In Flanders Field by John McRae. The photos are royalty free images from Stockxchange.
