These are My People blog hop

We are showcasing the lovely "These are My People" collection the papers have wonderful patterns and colours and the sticker sheet is just gorgeous.

This layout uses the beautiful yellow paper, the zip strip and some of the stickers. These photos were taken at The House of Honey in the Swan Valley during our Christmas holiday break, the bee hive and honey combe on display were amazing. I love this bee stamp and got it in last month's sale.

The second layout shows my amazing niece's birthday photos. I used a layout I saw on Pinterest for inspiration, but I am unable to give credit to the person as I didn't pay attention their name and I have been unable to find it again.

I am very happy with how this card turned out, I have used the frame from sticker sheet and the lovely green paper.

Yesterday and Today Blog Hop

I do love all things vintage and this collection is so lovely. Even though the papers are lovely I really felt with my photos to use just them in a layout may make the look too dark so I have added papers from other collections.

I love this photo of my grandfather, dad, brother and nephew, four generations of Taylor males. I have used one of the Mix In papers, some of the stickers and a wonderful stamp set called Then and Now that unfortunately is now discontinued.

My nephew in the above photo is now married and has two amazing daughters and I am told he and his wife are unlikely to have any more children. I am hoping one of my other nephews may soon get married and start a family and have a son to carry on this line of the Taylor name. So maybe one day soon an engagement may be in wings and I will have need of this card.

I am one of six children, we are all relatively close in age and I am sure we were a handful growing up. Thankfully my mum and dad always had help from my grandparents. I believe this photo was taken about 1959-60 during the summer holidays.

Thank you for stopping by I hope you got some inspiration from my projects. To see more ideas please go to Arty Maz's blog, I am sure she will have something wonderful to share. Please take a moment and leave a comment they are always appreciated.

March Stamp of the Month "Family Legacy"

Welcome to the Australasian CTMH stamp of the month blog hop, if you arrived here from Doreen's Blog you are in the right place. If you arrived here by chance I hope you like what I have created, you can continue the hop by clicking on the link at the end of the post.

This very heritage looking stamp is wonderful, it is called Family Legacy and will be great for layouts with old photos but of course it can also be used with more traditional colours and projects. I have plans for using this stamp set with many old photos of my mum and dad's but I have to sort through them before I can start. So I have used what I have on hand at the moment.

One of the gifts my parents handed down to me was the love of family time spent together. I remember fondly the many occasions my immediate family spent with my grandparents and the extended family. I can see this legacy has been passed down to my nieces and nephews as well.

With this card this card I have used the lovely flourish stamp and the flower stamp which I have heat embossed with daisy white ink on sapphire cardstock. This reminded me of the beautiful toile fabrics you see in many heritage homes. I fussy cut the flower image to fit just on the corner edge. I really like how it turned out.

This is such a pretty card, I have used the flower stamp again with one of the small flourish stamps. I  coloured the clear sparkle gems to match the paper. I love this blush ribbon and how it looks on this card.
