DT Lasting Memories No 517 ( Our Autum Baby )

 Hello everyone 

I for one  cannot beleive its a new month, here in Australia we entering into Spring, with our lovely warm days, whilst our  counter parts in  the Northern Hemisphere are now in Autumn.

Hence this month's   challenge over at "Lasting Memories" is "Hello Fall"

http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com

The first challenge is "Turning Leaves" and to create a layout with mainly Brown, Orange  Red and Yellow 

I  chose to use some  really old papers from a magazine which cease trading several years ago. I haven't used it as i don't seem to get many Autumn photos, as where i live in Australia, Autumn is a when the weather starts to cool down  to the mid 20s  and we can turn off the air-conditioning as most nights its comfortable to sleep without it.

I went with the colour tones and a great grandson who was born in that season.

Afternoon all,

I was trying to finish this layout before i went to the chiropractor at 11 this morning, as i had it all cut out and only need to do the flowers, i had stamped them last night. 

I ran out of time. By the time i experimented with colours and watercoloured the flowers and the butterfly ( i could not find a bird stamp)  it was time to go. After i finnished at the chiropractor and brought some fresh fruit and vegetables and came home it was lunch time.

I finished it  after having something to eat, but could not find the orginal photo i was going to use , so i have used one of myself which i rarely do.

The layout is the second Challenge for the cyber crop using Paint or Ink for Mystical Scrapbooks

 Morning all

Its quite cloudy to day and around 22 degrees. I was out early this morning, had to be at Greenslopes Hospital by 8:15 a.m to see my back specialist, who has now refered me to someone else. The pins and neddles in my leg are driving me up the wall. Need to get some X-rays done before i see him in a fornight.

I completed this last night to enter into the second challenge for Mystical Scrap books Paint and Ink  monthly Challenge.

The second one has an added criteria of Vintage.
