Here is my little mini kit that I created for Dianne of ADB Designs November colour challenge on the Digital Scrapbooking Studio site. The theme this month was ‘delicate’ and it was a challenge for me to use the muted colours.
The cowardly shooting and death of the brave soldier, Frank Cirillo, guarding the unknown soldier’s tomb, the morning of Oct 22, 2014 has put the city of Ottawa in mourning. This is a tribute to Cpl Cirillo and others who die senseless deaths in these crazy times we call modern life…. Soldiers leave behind family, mothers, fathers, wives and children. How do we help them understand? How do we understand things that don’t make any sense? Sleep in peace Cpl Cirillo.
October’s colour challenge at the Digital Scrapbooking Studio brought us a beautiful colour palette to play with. Autumn colours with a muted look to them which reminded me of many days just before Halloween when it is frosty but still loaded with wonderful warm hues and breezy whispers of the leaves in the trees. I added a little mask and two owls to bring in the Halloween season.
Quilting Memories is the third and last mini kit created for the Digital Scrapbooking Studio site during their New Designer Challenge in September. My grandmother made me a Dresdan Plate quilt as a wedding present over 45 years ago. It is now a beloved heirloom. When I want to be closer to her I wrap myself in this quilt and remember all the wonderful, loving times we had together. This little mini kit could also be used for a Christmas layout. Don’t forget to download the alphabet in the second download.
Sitting with my mother’s button bag could amuse me for hours when I was young. How I loved all those colourful buttons, running my fingers through them, building them up into towers and spreading them out again to start over again. This is the second of three kits created for the Digital Scrapbooking Studio’s Birthday challenge for 2014.
