2013 in Review

 
Welcome to my final post of 2013...
 
and some of my favourite layouts this year.
 
So hard to choose...
 
So, I have gone for a Top 13 of 2013!
 
Enjoy..
 
 

Two of my fellow DT girls from
 Stuck On U Sketches
 and now firm friends, Tracey & Annette.
 
They live in Brisbane, Australia.
 I live in Scotland.
 
The three of us used this same photograph for
 the SOUS sketch
 back in January, with
 very different results!

Darling Son's 30th Birthday.
 
***




Love this layout of Hubby and I.
 This was the
100th Sketch Reveal
 from SOUS
 in February.
 
***
 




Middle Granddaughter, Erin.
 Using only paper - love it!
 
***




Loving this candid photo of
 Darling Daughter - a total fluke!
 
 Loved this paper technique.
Time consuming, but so worth it.
 
***




Back in Brisbane again,
with Tracey and Annette.
 Lizzy is with us too.
 
She was on the SOUS DT for
a short time as a card designer.
 But sadly, we no longer do
 card sketches on SOUS.
 
***




Love the papers, love the photo's,
 and my poor wee Granddaughters
 running up and down the garden
holding hands until Granny
 got the
 PERFECT photo....lol.
 
***




So proud of Hubby taking this photo.
 He doesn't usually get it right.
 
 He sure took a good one this time.
 
 This was the first photo I scrapped
 of our recent trip to Paris.
Now one of my all time faves!
 
***




Moulin Rouge - what a memory.
 
Our Sketches at Stuck On U Sketches
 always provide the perfect
 blueprint for any subject.
 
 Layouts I wouldn't be producing
 without them.
 This was from one of our
 sketches in August.
 
***




Two little girls and their Grumpy!
 
 Loving the natural tones in
 this layout and the treasured
photo's from a lovely day
 out with our
 Granddaughters!
 
***




I have hoarded these Pink Paislee
 papers for, like, forever,
 just waiting for the perfect
photo and the perfect sketch
to complement them.
 
The SOUS Sketch from October
 and photo of eldest
 Granddaughter, Rebekah,
made me finally chop
them up....lol!
 
***




I love to use black on my pages,
 it provides an amazing contrast
 no matter what papers you use.
 
So I was thrilled to be invited
 to join the
 Black With 2 Design Team
 earlier this year.
 
 This layout was made using
the November Colour
Palette.
 
***




And, finally,
 a treasured photo of Rebekah,
from our trip to London.
 A favourite for sure.
 
***
 
 
Well, hope you enjoyed this
 little trip down memory
 lane with me.
 
Looking forward to more
 creative fun in 2014.
 
First DT Reveal will be
on
1st January 2014,
and a whole new format
- so excited to share with you.
 
Then on
 3rd January 2014,
the first
Sketch Reveal
 of the
 New Year
 from
 
Gotta Love Scrapbooking!
 
See you Soon!
 
Hugs
