Hello there, I hope your day is going well, so nice of you to drop by!
The sketch over at
FEELING SKETCHY is a lovely one and it looks like this..
and I have created a card for a friend of my sister who is turning 50...
My card..
And the January Challenge for
ORANGE PAPERIE & Co is to create a layout about friendship with some journalling.. Well I have created a layout about the friendship my Dd has had with the horse we have had here for the last 2 years.. His owner needed a paddock for him until she bought a house with enough land to keep him.. Well of course 2 years later she arrives and tells us she is coming to get him and take him to her new place.. and of course we are quite sad about that. So I got my daughter and we took some photos with him before he left. And I have used one of those photos for this layout entitled....
Goodbye Kisses...
and a closer view of the journalling...
I have used an older Prima range of papers Sun kissed..
And if you have noticed my Daughters new hair style it is because she got it cut short a couple of weeks ago..
It went from this..
to this..
We sent away a pony tail more than 40 cms long down to
PANTENE BEAUTIFUL LENGTHS in New South Wales and they will use it to make wigs for people who lose their hair because of cancer treatments.. She said to me.. How will they know me now without my long hair.. and I said they will know you because of your smile.. that hasn't changed.. I am so proud of her and she is loving her new shorter hair.. But I still have lots of photos with her long hair to scrap!!
Thanks for coming by, and your comments are always lovely to read!! Take care..xx
Oh My Lizzy this is so so Beautiful. It actually made me teary, such beautiful journalling and emotional photo, but lovely it is documented for all time. I hope Your DD gets to visit her beautiful friend some times. Gorgeous colour palette and layering, really makes the gorgeous photo shine. How proud you must be of your DD donating her beautiful shiny locks.She looks gorgeous with long hair and with short, short must be so much cooler in this heat though.

ReplyDeletewow what a beautiful post Lizzy. Your daughter is beautiful on the inside and out ... very special indeed . ....and your card is divine, red, black and white yummo !!! love the layout too. stunning work x
ReplyDeleteLovely card Lizzy. Thank you for joining the challenge at Feeling Sketchy. Hope to see you next time.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks lovely with her new hair cut. Thank you for sending her hair to Pantene. My younger daughter had very long hair and she had it cut to send to somewhere that made wigs for cancer sufferers. My daughter Lynda lost her hair when she had chemo, but she wore scarves and crochet hats. The hospital and other people gave her scarves and Angela made the hats for her. She needed the hats as her head was cold during winter without her hair.
Love that layout! What a beautiful picture of your daughter and her horse! And how brave of her for cutting her hair! She's lucky she can wear it either way :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout. Your daughter is beautiful inside and out and I agree that smile is unmistakable.
ReplyDeletefirst off beautiful projects! and yes your daughter is amazing for doing that...special young lady there. I am very sorry about the good bye also awwwwwww :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!! Love the monochromatic feel with the pops of red showing through! Great Job!! Lovely how your daughter donated her hair to those with cancer. My 14 year old went through a similar experience and I told her that her hair wasn't what defined her but who she was on the inside! Thanks for playing along at the Feeling Sketchy blog!!
ReplyDeleteYou must b so proud of her!!! My little girl did the same thing last year and now she is growing it ba k to do it Again - may take a while though!! Your daughter looks stunning in both photos - the short style really suits her!!! Your projects are awesome ( as always) I really love the photo on your layout :)
ReplyDeleteLovely layout and card, Lizzy! Very pretty! What a wonderful thing for your daughter to do by donating her beautiful hair. She is so pretty with either the short or long hair. And it does grow back!
ReplyDeletewow! more gorgeous creations! as for your daughter's beautiful hair... she is stunning either way!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous LO and beautiful card Lizzy!! Your daughter looks beautiful with both long and shorter hair and what a wonderful gift, donating her gorgeous locks!!
ReplyDeleteyour page is sooooo sweet and pretty! and your card is gorgeous too (love the hat). Your daughter is beautiful with short hair too, and donating it was really nice!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Lizzy!! Love the black and white card with the pop of red, it is stunning!!! Also love your page with that amazing photo and all the fussy cutting ... truly delightful. Have to say your daughter is an amazing young lady. Not many girls would be prepared to do what she did and you have every right to be proud. She is beautiful both inside and out!! ox
ReplyDeleteI love your card and your page! That layout is stunning - love the colours and the flowers - perfectly country!!! And you daughter looks so beautiful with her new 'do - it really suits her and what a beautiful thoughtful thing for her to do. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh Lizzy I love your card but I really love the LO. First your daughters haircut is beautiful. I just love the black and white pic and the fussy cut flowers and butterfly's and the colors make for a perfect LO. Very inspirational. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness....what a beautiful story about your DD giving her beautiful long hair for wigs for cancer patients...that is just so kind & gorgeous of her!! A sad story about the horse though...but I'm sure she will always have such lovely memories of him <3 Love your layout & the gorgeous photo.....beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWas just thinking how grown-up and gorgeous she looks in her short hair. Reading about her donating her Rapunzel locks for a good cause is truely living the message of love. I know you are all so very very proud of her, and you're absolutely right - her beautiful smile hasn't changed. Absolutely heartbreaking having to part with her four-legged friend, brings tears to my eyes. The Sun Kissed collection is such a perfect one for your gorgeous page. Warm and full of love. xoxox
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card for the upcoming 50th birthday, love your colours & that hat embellie. Thank you for playing with us at Feeling Sketchy.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a LO! What a beautiful moving moment you have captured....& also what a beautiful daughter you have too. How wonderful to read...bless her!
Your card is beautiful and thank you for joining Feeling Sketchy. It is an amazing bond a child and a horse develop, my boy had been riding for 7 years now and he has out grown his first pony so we have to look for a new home for him too. Saying goodby is hard. - Michelle LSHD DT
ReplyDeleteYour layout is a beautiful piece of Art! I really love how it looks like you are looking through a window....what a gorgeous photo too! Nisha looks so grown up with her shorter hair, its so pretty! Really nice card too :) I'm sure you are enjoying the rain just like us......so nice to have a break from the heat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely layout about the relationship with the horse...it's tough to part ways when you've formed a bond.
