Today is my first post for Lasting Memories Challenge blog. The theme "Getting to know you" which you all know is not easy to complete a LO about your self - and finding a pic arghh... that was a challenge in it's self!! Seriously how many of you are always behind the camera and prefer it that way... my hand is up! Take a moment to check out the challenge blog! here
The pic was taken while my daughter and I went for a fall walk at Princess Point in Hamilton Ontario. Most people think of Hamilton as a steel town but really there is so much beauty in Hamilton - we have the most waterfalls in all of Canada - we are a hidden gem.
So... some points that you might not have known about me:
- Hate mushrooms
- Love to travel (just wish I had the money to do it more often)
- Was on the first Canadian parent cheer-leading squad!!! lol - there is more than likely some pics out there but... arghh... too funny - My daughter was a competitive cheerleader for many years and the parents wanted to support and get involved so voila - parent cheerleaders... not pretty
Here is my LO:
believe it or not... I was actually trying to get a pic of me and my daughter... lol - she finally took the camera. She has years of experience with self photos
aren't' these birds the cutest - they came in my November Autumn Splendor kit from Scraptastic Club.

I used misting on yellow card stock but in this pic it doesn't show up that well - but I like the way the title showed up.
I struggled with this LO so I had to reach out to my trusty bloggy challenges:
Scraptastic Club: January 1st
Cas-ual Friday - chip off the old block
thanks for stopping by and sending hearts out to you all

ReplyDeleteUsually it's my husband behind the camera, but finding a shot that is flattering is more of a problem then not having them
ReplyDeleteVery cute-I don't do scrapbooks, but you may have changed my mind with this CAS design. Beautifully done!
