Miss Smith's Anniversary Blog Hop!

KIRSTY (AKA Miss Smith) is having a celebratory Blog Hop today, in honour of her 200th blogpost! She very kindly made, and sent out to anyone who wanted to take part, a dinky embellishment (which I forgot to photograph separately, and if you've been keeping up with my Blog you will realise I'm in Barcelona- and not actually near the LO I made!), to be used in any LO, card, bookmark etc. of your choice.
When DD and I were back in Scotland a few weeks ago, my nephew (who has lived in New Zealand for the last three or four years) and my niece (who has been in Brisbane for three years) were both there too. This was the first time in years that the three grandchildren had been together at mum and dad's, so it was (obviously) big photo-op time! As they were posing, my nephew remembered a photograph of his brother (who was still in NZ) and decided he should be in the picture too!



I used Shimelle's Starting Point from last week, as the basis of my LO......and Kirsty's embellishment is the layered circle on the left of the word 'LOVE'......here's a close-up


I'm sure you'll agree that Kirsty made a fab job of her embellishments......Happy 200th Kirsty! and thanks for the opportunity to  be part of the celebration!


If you have come to me from  CARRIE, you are in the right place....if you want to start at the beginning of the Blog Hop go to KIRSTY'S BLOG...there you will find the entire list of contributors.
From here, you  should go and visit  ALEXA, and find out what she did with her embellishment!


Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  12. What a great story and a brilliant idea for a photo! Really love the colour scheme and the background patterned paper really highlights the photo and the cluster of embellishments. I've been following Shimelle's series but haven't tried one out yet... I feel an inspiration coming on!
