Mother-in-Law

In my last post, I mentioned how lucky I am with the friends in my life. Today, I've also realised, I've been very fortunate with my, for want of a better term, in-laws. The parents of my past and present partners have all been delightful. I know the stereotype is for the mother-in-law to be a monster-in-law but that's not been my own experience.

And so I've produced a long overdue page which has been missing from my scrapbook album, the one devoted to Kate, Nick's Mum. It's a page that, if it wasn't for our dogged persistance, wouldn't exist. She is one difficult lady to take a photograph of. Short of tying her up, the only way we normally do it, is to take her by surprise or wait until she's had a tipple or two.

This page doesn't need any journalling. All anyone needs to know about this wonderful woman is that I say she is AWESOME!

This is the first project I have created using the stash sent to me by Jodie from her Nature's Garden collection with Prima. In fact, the only additions which did not come in the kit, are the chipboard letters in the title and the twine used on the buttons.

I created three Scrunchy Flowers using a sheet of patterned paper and two fabric one's with some beautiful strips of printed silk. And, as you can see, A4 paper can easily be applied to a 12x12 format. In this case, I joined together two of Jodie's designs which had a collage appearance already, so you can hardly see the join.

Great fun to piece together. I'm raring to make something else now. I just need to remember, where did I put that extra bit of spare time? When I find it, I'll be a blur of paper, scissors and glue.
