Great way to show off those fabulous photos of your mum! I'm sure she'll be proud to see what you've made - and so will your dad! <br />I dont have many photos of my parents. I must ask my mother what she has and see if I can copy any of her pictures. <br />My dad was dreadful at having his photo taken, so I have very few of him. But I do have a small number and they are ok. Time I started scrapping them, I think. <br />Thanks for the links to CurlyWiggles and the Martha Stewart punch.<br />I have some mini-circular doilies (see my scrap page from 21st June). <br />I also saw the heart-shaped doilies.. they may be available at DotComGiftShop (which is my current favourite place.. for various reasons, including doilies...)<br />Great scrap page, Sian!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-24608910749278386352010-06-22T15:44:22.137+01:002010-06-22T15:44:22.137+01:00yes yes yes to the colour scheme! Also, yellow and...yes yes yes to the colour scheme! Also, yellow and grey (and navy blue) together are Quite Parisian, so the French theme is there in the colours too :-). I'm loving the old photos - I went to an antique shop last week and found some really moving photos (of complete strangers, yes, but moving nonetheless) which I'd like to make a layout with soon. somehow it's hard to beat those old pics! xCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938544254481246167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-77996742493590680852010-06-22T15:37:57.353+01:002010-06-22T15:37:57.353+01:00Great page!
