And last but not least this is my take on the new challenge group started  by Lucy Muraca called  'Show Me Yours'. Each month Luc will share an image which we have to incorporate in a project. June is called 'Tiara'. The image was of a 1900's british starlette called Lily Elsie. Who was extremely shy but had a beauty so compellig and a natural ability to transform into a character on stage both in dramatic or comedic style. Her first really big break was winning the lead role in  the London Premiere of Franz Lehar's operetta 'The Merry Widow'.

...she is such an amazing inspiration and we would love more peeps to say hello over there.  Here is the link xox

The latest release of goodies by Sissy Sparrows is their monthly kit Room 19. The June kit, Project 5 is called 'Old Relic' and is a nostalgic journey back to days gone by. The great thing about SS products is they also lend themselves to be interpretted any which way you like and well...thats what I did here!
 I used some goofy piccies Tige and I took but let me tell you its not entirely removed from the theme. I am feeling like an old relic at the mo, with my back out, aching joints and to top it all off a few extra greys have popped up much to my dismay {gosh I hate those persistant little blighters} tell ya what I will be heading to the hairdresser this week, thats a cert! Anyways I digress, here is my CT page...

 'Big Love'

Room 19 Project 5 

'94 Limestone Ave'

Here is the preview of the kit, look at all that yumminess! 

I hang out for the Room 19 releases, I am like a kid reaching into a lucky dip...

opening each folder to find whats inside is so exciting and unlike a lucky dip

I am never disappointed with the little gems I find! lol

This page is my take on the current TPN Challenge #10. The Painted Nest is a monthly challenge set by Jules, Don and Kimberlee. Of course I scrapped another piccie of Tige and I, its one of my faves from when he was first born, he was only 10 weeks old here and slept through the whole shoot :)
