Two other daughters came and shared some family time too - especially as it was Cameron's 12th birthday last Monday as well as celebrating mine and my husband's 60th as we won't all be able to get together in September and October. We even fitted in a trip to France and another trip to Eastbourne to join up with extended family members. There is nothing like sharing precious time with family.
So, in the meantime, I have also been busy creating 2 canvasses for 2 of my granddaughters - Eden and Ashley. They share a bedroom and the canvasses are to go on their bedroom wall - matching their bedding which is pink with white polka dots, flowers and butterflies. Keeley wanted to keep them simple which I did. I printed the coloured photos onto canvas paper. Ashley's photo was edited by the very clever Dan99 . He removed the little Easter chick that she was holding. I've had the butterflies in my stash for ages, so decided to use them on this occasion. I stitched the flower stem and leaves and used a VersaMagic stamp pad to make the petals.
Result...2 happy little girls! Ahhh...that makes it all worth it. http://dan99.blogspot.com
Thanks so much for visiting and if you want to check out everyone else's blog for a WOYWW nosey...hop over to Julia's stamping ground where you can add your name to the list.
Have a fun day and I hope the sun is shining for you today.
Toots for now.

Those are wonderful photos ...and you have done them justice. So pleased you had such a wonderful family summer.
we (7) have just got back from hols together and a highlight for me was when the 'neighbour' in the next Gite said 'i hope my boys will want to holiday with us when they have grown up.' It is a special thing when they choose to keep and spend time with you as we all grow older together....lovely scrapbook pages too!
great canvasses,perfect for little girls. So glad you have had a lovely summer with your family, nothing,absolutely nothing beats it.
My son hasn't moved out, he has moved in! he's been away at uni for 4 years, so I turned his room into a craft room and now he is back, so no, not extra storage but waaaaaay less storage lol My house is teeny,tiny, only 2 bedroom, so we are very squished right now. Good job we like each other.
Lovely canvases, your granddaughters are such pretty girls. Happy WOYWW day.
Hi Glen, fabby work, love the colours and images!

The canvases are fab! Family time comes always first :)
