Wood grain week #7 precious moment

I dug deep into my old stash for this paper from the Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg collection (cinnamon).

I loved the cartoony feel of the paper and the pink colour. I also used the Maggie Holmes text paper With the words little single moments for this photo of Nancy sitting on my husband's lap at the Festival of History. Please ignore my wobbly stamping for the title .

Wood grain week #6 100%

So onto the next woodgrain again from October Afternoon , the Farm Girl collection and the paper is called Wooden Crate.

LO is about Nancy's attendance at school. This year for the second year in a row Nancy has 100% attendance. Now I know the photos look a bit odd for the subject of the LO but in the pictures Nancy is wearing the gold badge that she was awarded for her achievement.

woodgrain week #5 Stopid

Today's woodgrain paper is from American Crafts Amy Tangerine Yes Please Collection. It's called Perfect.

Tis LO is called Stopid. I know I spelt it wrong, I did it on purpose. One day when I got home from work I only had Nancy with me. I was singing a song that involved changing the words to a song to make it about  Nancy ( Caro Emerald if I remember)  Nancy made me a sign to go round my neck which read " I'm Stopid and I cant stop singing this song"

woodgrain week #4 London Eye

I love this woodgrain paper from Pebbles . its from the Lakeside collection and called trail map.i love the fact that its like a cut through section of a log. It's a lovely colour for using bright colours on.

This is a LO from one of our many trips on the London Eye. The photos show the vies from the eye, the bridges over the river Thames and the shadow of the eye on the river.

Woodgrain week #3 too big

Today the woodgrain LO is brought to you by October Afternoon again. This dark paper is one of my favourites. It's from the 9 to 5 collection and its called Boardroom. I like the fact you can use it to offset a mix of bright colours.

This LO is called Too Big. When we visited Gibraltar this year we went to the Botanical Gardens. There was a lovely playground but Stanley insisted on making a fool of himself on the bit meant for toddlers. I of course had to step in with the camera.

Woodgrain Week#2 Stand and Deliver

Continuing with my mission to use up some of the woodgrain paper in my stash i bring you this LO. Today's woodgrain paper is Main Gate from the October Afternoon Midway collection.

The LO is called Stand and Deliver. Nancy got her hands on some free plastic pirate pistols at the Festival of History so with a a pair of pistols and a scarf round her head she looked a lot like a highway robber of the 18th century.

You may notice the issues with deliver. I have run out of i's and so I have used a j. When I get my hands on an orange felt tip from my daughter I shall cover the bottom of the j properly.

Woodgrain week #1 Victorian Photo

I LOVE wood grain paper. I love wood grain paper of all kinds. In fact I realised recently I had rather a large number of sheets of the stuff. So I decided to get using them. Each day this week I am posting a LO with a different kind of wood grain paper.  Today I have the wood grain paper from the Maggie Holmes collection at Crate Paper.

The LO is about a photo we had taken at the Festival of History. There was a Victorian photographer who was taking pictures for free. We got in there early and had this taken. A seven second exposure, man with his head under a black cloth to focus and then the picture developed straight onto a metal plate - no negative and actually a mirror image of us.
