and my take on it

The title doesn't translate particularly well, but I suppose the closest in English would be monkeying about.

Some of you might recognize these two young ladies, cool Miss T and little Miss M. Here they are with their dad on a family visit to Stockholm last summer.Mum is taking the pic.

  11. Wow , those are some generous prizes, Eila!!You have mmade some ladies very happy. I have to check out that "Green Tara", love the look of those. That photo of the girls with their dad is lovely and sits there beautifully in the midst of that wonderful chippie frame and misted background. Love the misted cheese clothe and textureal elements. I just want to touch this...

  13. this is fab! i took the miss art's class on this TCR layout. great class! love all the cheese cloth you've colored down at the bottom - haven't tried this yet myself - but one day a layout/mini book is going to call for it.
    i'm personally way behind in my posts - i have about 3 or 4 new books to post and right now i'm working on a nursery project that i can't wait to share with everyone - think its going to be fun!
