These photos of Anneliese going to her first fancy dress party are favourites of mine.  I have scrapped these photos before, yet I wasn’t happy with the result. I love the way the chipboard flourishes, coupled with the brads, bling and flower rubons create a simple, but effective layout.

                                         

This is the best present a grandmother could ask for – a new grandson born on Mother’s Day!  Welcome baby Miller!

                                        

This photo of Anneliese was taken on her 5^th Birthday.  The FTI rubons title, “Follow your dreams” seemed appropriate for this photo. I love the way the FTI rubon flowers, brads and clips could be used to extend the pattern on this paper.

                                     

When I think of Easter, I always think of soft, pastel colours. This range of ribbons, flowers and buttons from FTI inspired me to create this layout. I love the way the ribbons could be weaved to create a border.  I’m thrilled with the result!
