Carol's Calendar ...






A little something for my best friend!

Autumnal Tabia ...







Tabia is just so pretty - I LURVE those wings! (As you may have gathered.) I dressed her up in really strong Autumn shades with accents of gold. These colours work so well with her skin tone - don't know why I didn't think of it before!

Mo's Christmas card




I set myself a challenge, how many Mo's images could I crop together to make a scene? I came up with these three - it was kinda obvious the children would work together but adding the Festive door made the scene complete. It was a labour of love, but so worth it!

Abigael ...



Abi as she is now - almost a young lady but still our sweetheart!
Little miss gigglechops, taken this summer and one from last year of our sleeping angel. Although you can't see much of her hair in this photo it was in fact waist length. It was her decision to cut it - but I loved it long, I hope she'll grow it again someday!



Tuesday's Child ...



When I saw this lovely image Mo created - well, she was a must buy! She reminds me so much of my gorgeous little Abigael - who unfortunately at nearly 11 has outgrown her - all things, pink, sparkly and Barbie stage.
I very much wanted Tuesday's clothes and wings to appear gossamer light; kind of floaty and free flowing. She doesn't really need any embellishments but I thought the hydrangea was appropriate as one of the colours I used on her wings was hydrangea blue; I also think the delicate colours of the flower match her clothes. The butterflies? ... Well, I could imagine Tuesday joyfully and gracefully spinning around in the garden ... pretending to be a butterfly!

Even more fun with Punkin!







Well, I just couldn't wait any longer - Punkin had been looking at me for days willing me to decoupage him ... so I have! He's decoupaged up my way - which is probably not the way it should be done, but I like the effect so I stick to it! :o)
Punkin's sitting way out in front of the card; he's attached to the card on cardboard "hinges" so he can be folded flat for posting. I like doing this with my decoupage - the image literally pop's out at you! :P
