Layout Week 2

Back with another post and another layout for my second week. Came together pretty easy ... wanted to try something different with the butterflies - haven't used them in mass before - but I like them I think :)
These photos of my sister and I were taken by Bailey a few weeks ago after we had been strawberry picking ... he held his finger on the camera button and it took about 20 photos in short bursts hehe. I like them all - just a bit of fun.
I created a paper pile collage in picasa and cut around the pics - really easy stuff.

Now I'm also going to apologise for the poor photography. I think I've got used to getting the girls at work to take my pics and edit them all the time that I've forgotten. I really need a refresher on how to do it! Plus I'm feeling a little bit tired and lazy.



We're off to Gold Class to see Unstoppable shortly - my nephew and his fiancee gave us 4 movie tickets for Christmas. Should be a fun afternoon. Hope you all have a great weekend xo

The butterflies are stunning and what fun pics too! It really is the best seeing your work again on here :) I just watched Oprah and the visit she paid to your friend that you mentioned the other day. For some reason I remembered that her name was Megan and they were in Melbourne so I guessed that it was her. How LUCKY was she to have Oprah come into her home and join in that FUN party!!! How cool!!

Hi Al,
What a gorgeous layout! Really captures the beauty and vibrancy of a sister relationship (there's nothing else like it :) )
Had to laugh when I read you've got a layout-a-week goal for this year - I have too! Great minds...
Wanted to tell you that you've inspired me to do something I've avoided for ages - my own blog. Have used every excuse from "can't be bothered" to "I'd be rubbish at it", but reading through yours, I kept thinking "this is so lovely!" So then. No more procrastination. And now that I've actually put it out there and TOLD someone, no more excuses, either!
Thanks Al - you're inspiring :)
Love,
Dani
