Silhouette - 365+1
DSD by Athena - Basics |
This is a silhouette I made from a photograph of my son, his wife and my grandson walking along the road. I used it on their wedding anniversary card earlier this year. Isn't it amazing how you can recognise people by their silhouettes, I love this little family group, it speaks to my heart.

I managed to catch these two in the nest, but they weren't keen on me taking photos and gave me a real fright by suddently flying out over my head!

Get Funky June Challenge
I spied Kathy's project for Get Funky Challenge, the challenge blog for Funky Hand and thought I'd enter. I downloaded the Funky Freebie (it's the multicoloured paper) and included it in this digital layout, sampling the colours to create some co-ordinating papers and elements. The Passion flower is a photograph I took at Threave Gardens which I've turned into a 'stamp' using the filter gallery in Photoshop Elements.

Just for fun, Anne at Spashes of my Crafty Life suggested we find our Fairy names from the Fairy Name Generator here is mine:
My fairy name is Bindweed Goblindancer
She brings riches and wealth.
She lives at the bottom of tangled gardens and in hedgerows.
She can only be seen when the bees swarm and the crickets chirrup.
She wears tangled multicoloured skirts made of petals and has gentle green wings like a butterfly.

Sherwood Studios - Thrift, Coppercurls Designs- Generations |
I've been visiting my mum and helping her clear out some items from her outhouse. One of them was an old trunk, which unfortunately is now full of woodworm and needed to go out before it spread any further. However, it had some great labels dated 1952 so, of course, I took some pictures. I didn't realise that Suzie would be so kind as to come up with the perfect prompts!

Roadside - 365+1
I'm so glad I was on holiday when this prompt came up on Suzie's 365+1. We have the most glorious hedgrows and roadsides. While some people complain about the cow parsley, I just love all the pretty little wild flowers and plants that populate our hedgrows and so do the bees as you will see in the top right photo. It's easy to take your local scenery for granted, but every now and then I see it as others must do and realise just how fortunate I am to live in this beautiful countryside.
From the top left to right and down: speedwell; bee on vetch; ferms; buttercup; red campion; eyebright and nettles; cow parsley and hawthorn hedges; hawthorn blossom; eyebright; more cow parsley and hawthorn hedges.
What's on your roadside?

Diamond Jubilee Sparkle - 365=1
Suzie has asked us for photos with 'sparkle' and as I took a few pictures of the fireworks from the Jubilee Concert on the telly. They certainly did sparkle and the stars shone. I've enjoyed the Jubilee more than I expected.

Diamond Jubilee for 365+1
I'm going 'off prompt' today as it was the day of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. You would think I had had a ringside seat, but in fact I took these photos sitting in front of my telly! I particularly liked the Warhorse photo, but the whole flotilla was quite remarkable and an amazing spectacle.

Birthday Queen
It's my mother-in-law's birthday and as it falls on the weekend of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, I have made her a Jubilee birthday card. I used papers and elements that were given away free in Simply Homemade magazine.
In the distance - 365+1
It wasn't the best of days for seeing things in the distance, it was a bit misty. I got my telephoto lens onto the camera so I could see further away and pointed it at a local landmark 'The Queensbury'. It's a hill in the Moffat Hills and usually the first one to have snow on it. You can just about make it out in the distance.
