LAYOUT CALL.....

Hello everyone

It has been a bit quiet in regards to receiving any layouts lately, so I thought I would put out the call for some.

If you have any layouts that contain 3 or more photos on one page then I would love for you to send them is to us to share with everyone.

Remember you don't have to use the latest techniques and products; you only need a minimum of three photos.

Please send photos of your layouts to mealin@optusnet.com.au and we will publish them on the blog.  

Who is going to be the first????

Take care for now, Ann :-)

I just love how Lindy uses smaller photos on her layouts - it goes to show that we don't need to use full size photos to showcase them - and it leaves room on the page to add lots of lovely embellishments.  

Lindy loves to make her own flowers.  Do you have any layouts  where you have added your own hand-made flowers or embellishments?  I would love for you to send your pages in to we can add them to the blog - just remember that the layout must contain at least 3 photos to qualify for the profile of the blog.

I can't wait to receive your submission(s)....please send them to mealin@optusnet.com.au and we will post them soon.

TFL, Ann :-)
