Everyday Miracles

When my little man was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 8 months old, we had no idea what his future would hold. He started walking a month before his second birthday and now, a month before his third birthday he is running, jumping and starting to climb. I am sure his angels (my husband's parents) are with him every step of his way, helping him as he charges through life. What is taken for granted with a lot of children, we cherish and savour.

So here is my layout about the Everyday Miracles. I used Carolyn Kite's My Sunshine kit to help complete and made the alpha myself :) Not necessarily my prettiest or best layout, but sometimes it isn't about the arty farty- it is about the event.

My First Freebie- ANZAC DAY

Well here it is, my first freebie. I made this for an ANZAC DAY layout (traditions challenge at Digital Candy), using Carolyn Kite's Countryside kit.


An Australian tradition that we commemorate yearly on 25 April is ANZAC DAY. (ANZAC standing for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). We commemorate this day as it is the day our troops landed at Galipoli Cove in Turkey in WW1. On this day, we hold Dawn Sevices (as this is when the troops landed) and hold ANZAC Day marches.

The journaling reads

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

This is The Ode which is read at the ANZAC Day services. It is part of a poem "For The Fallen" written by an English poet Laurence Binyon in 1914.


The photo is not mine, it is from The Australian newspaper.



So....if you would like the QP, click on the QP below. Please leave comments here to let me know if you have taken it, as Carolyn is hosting the download :)

So...who am I CTing for?

I thought I would come and post about my designers. Who are they?

My first designer, who is currently retired (and I am hoping wiht come back when her computer decides it will play nicely was Theresa Borntreger. I was so excited to be accepted into her CT. I had a ball working with her and it broke my heart when she decided to take a break.

Then I was honoured to be invited into ScrapShana's CT. We became really close really fast and found out that we had a lot in common. I would like to say Shana is just having a rest from selling her amazing things at the moment. BUT...as she has such a beautiful heart, she has great freebies on her blog!! Go check it out!

While I was chatting about some dastedly deeds on Hello with Beckie (BeckieWallace Designs), she asked me to be a guest CT for her. I was floored. I have admired Beckie's kits for ages and owned quite a few too. I was excited to jump in with some mates from my other CTs :) Beckie asked me last week to be permanent on her team :) YAY!!

While making my new digihome at Digital Candy, I started nosing around blogs from the blinkies. I emailed Amie a name for a kit she had (a competition on her blog) and we started emailing. She then asked me to be a part of her CT. Ummmm, let me think about that one...YES YES YES. I love my new home and Amie (Baubles n Scraps) is now an exclusive designer there :)

During the time when my first two designers took a break, I thought I would apply to some CT Calls at DST.

I got my first acceptance a few days ago by Nicole. She is a new designer with some lovely kits already out. Check her out at Green Elephant Designs!

And the final CT I was accepted into was a total shock. Carolyn Kite is an Aussie designer with her own store/site. It was actually Carolyn who told me to get my butt in gear and start a blog. So we can all blame her! LOL You can find her at Scrap N Tag!!!



Sooooo as you can see I am going to be busy, but feel so lucky to be apart of each team. I will post some layouts here too when I get around to it LOL

Welcome

My first post on my first ever scrapping blog (I have had a weight loss one before though!!).
I will be posting layouts I have completed recently for my designers. AND tomorrow, I will be giving away my first ever freebie :)

Take care,

Angie x
