-SPECIAL-
 
These are photo's of my little angel in heaven Miss Bettie, these were taken after she passed away in hospital on the 1st of June 2013. The amazing Heartfelt organisation sent a special person out to take these, its a non-profit organisation. They dressed her, changed her positions and some were black and white others were coloured, through all that time with her they treated her with love and gentleness.

The one with the hat, is what Bettie was wearing when the nurse brought her to me for a cuddle so this is very dear and special to me. I cuddled Bettie for over an hour or more and sat with her and my other grandson for what seemed like ages until I knew what was happening with my daughter.
It was both a happy and sad night. But these and all the other photo's of Bettie will remind me that I have 3 grandchildren and I special angel.
I have used impasto paste with paint added to it and a template to give texture to the flowers, I have used paper punches and weaved and small paper square of the colours that were in Bettie's hat that night. These are the colours for this challenge
I have also used stamping and stickles.

This is my two daughters Jackie and Ness in their kindergartens Christmas play when we lived at Voyager Point ,Sydney, they were all dressed as angles and they sang Christmas carols. This was the last year for Jackie as she was off to big school the next year, you can just see her, she's the one standing nearest to the green flower petal. Ness was the second person on her right.  This was a tradition as is having a real Christmas tree and going around xmas eve to see all the Christmas lights, we do this with my daughter Jackie and her 3 children, Izaak, Hana and Aaron, we have done this since they were babies. Aunty ness and I usually go around the night before so that she doesn't miss out either. Sometimes, one of the kids would come with us, its such a joy to see their faces and listen to which lights and houses are the best. These are our family tradition.

Title: Gone Fishing

This is my niece's husband scott,, his favourite thing is his new motor boat, he has taken it out heaps since he has got it. Mind you it took two weeks before he got it and didn't we all hear about it on face book, the pictures the specs of the boat, more pictures. Think he should have told his wife he bought it thought before putting it on face, as she was away at the time.

Look at the fishes he has caught, snappers huge one's, then there's the gummy sharks and crayfish. This is his best mate at the moment, so jealous . Scott usually goes out with his 3 boys, dad and best friend. Bet he enjoys just driving his boat around, this is his best friend at the moment.

Title:- Family Memories

The day was of my sister Alice's Surprise 60th Birthday party. Her daughter in law through a surprise birthday for her, she didn't know that her family and friends had gathered at their house. When she walked in we were each pointed at and we only said a few words that we knew Alice would guess who we were. 

She was so surprised as she was blindfolded until she came into the house, Alice didnt know where she was, it was a scream to see her reaction when she took off the blindfold. To say she was shocked was an understatement.

Our daughters always get a photo of us sister's together, the joke between them is they always get us with wine glasses in our hands or in front of us on the bench. 

I have used a sunburst star and arrow to point to us sisters, The multiple photo's is of us sisters at Alice's surprise 60th birthday party.

TCR PALETTE NO. 154 LIFE IS SO FUN

Well this is my first scrap page i've done in a couple of months, what with moving my daughter and myself into a new home, then moving my daughter and her three children into a new home. Then loosing my newest grnaddaughter within half an hour of her being born, I can say that the last three or four months has been rough. But after scrapping a page of Bettie, I got the urge to start scrapping again. This picture is of my two daughters swimming in their pool at home, they love the water. While their dad was in the navy, we would mark on the atlas where the ship was sailing, and all the places that he visited while he was away. They found this fun, so when we got a letter from him, we would mark it on the map. I have used the bubble effect for the photo's to represent the the cushions in the picture. A map of the world, the bird element was the pirate owl, and the fish element, was the orca whale. I have journalled on a scroll to represent a treasure map. This is my challenge.

Who lived with my aunty annie until her death. I use to love the stories she would tell, i would keep then as my memory of her, i certainly do not miss the clip across the ears if i was cheeky,from her. I would always know where she was, in case i slipped up and give cheeek to my mum. Sadly Louise later died of cancer and aunty annie nursed her for the last few months of her life. We use to say that mum and aunty annie were twins, even though they weren't, because they look so mcuk alike. This is a tribute to them all. My Mum's Family
