Apologies..

Not posted on here for ages,  very remiss of me.  Sorry but life sort of overtook me,  had a knee replacement operation back in September,  that was agony...  then a whole load of other stuff kept getting in the way.  But here I am again! 

Thought I'd start off with this page,  love to say that it was planned but... no chance.   I started with the photos and they had a lot of blue in them,  so was looking for anything with a blue colour, but also wanted it to be cheerful as the pics were taken in Spain, so that was influencing me.   Ended up with this:

Base card:  from We R memorykeepers kit 589251  from QVC. 
Then used Blue and Cream card,  paper mania stock.  Used a circle cutter to get the 'circles',  just so one would tuck neatly under the other.   
Also used circle cutter from the X cut kit, to shape two of the photos - they may 'appear' to be circles, but they're not quite.
Once I got to this stage I laid everything down, but something was missing, so using the circle cutter I cut two more circles from the patterned card,  then using a tearing ruler tore off a piece of the creamy yellow card.  Felt that it needed something, so messed with some buttons I had,  all random, I coloured the heart shaped button with perfect pearls.  
Finished off with some brads, and the lettering using The Slice,  and coloured it with some inks.

I think it works.   Very happy with the page.   Have another two to upload, so watch this space.
