Finished off my layout today based on this weeks classes from the Design Collective. Had great fun yesterday playing with the inks and had it all ready last night, just needed to be stuck down today. Oh what a hash I made of it, everything that could go wrong duly did so plus more. A tiny piece of glue seeped out from under the M in Jim so I tried wiping it off with a wet wipe, well you've never seen anything like it, the tiny drop just got bigger and bigger spreading out until it reached the text, what a mess!!!! ended up having to reprint the whole thing. The light when taking the photo of the LO has unfortunatley caught the transparency so it partially shows which is a shame and in real life it doesn't show at all. The flowers are cut out from the mixed up inks as is the title and the frame laying over the photo is cut using my craft robo from a design by silene shared out on UKScrappers.I'll definatley being using this medium again. If you want to see a close up click on the photo and you'll get a bigger image. Tomorrow we get a new set of classes which I really look forward to and head for the PC first thing. DC have also just announced there are to be some some Bank Holiday challengers using stamps. Not sure if I'll have time but will try and squeeze something in.
Tomorrow is also my daughters birthday so we're meeting up for a wander round town then back here for lunch and hopefully son will also make it. Can't wait to see my grandson Ben as they didn't come over Wednesday as planned becauuse they both had rotten colds. Talking of the son the tickets for Wembley arrived this morning so I'm the bees knees at the moment LOL... phew !!!
Today we had some news that we were dreading. Eric's sister and brother-in-law in Wales who lost their precious greyhound Holly last week have now had to have their youngest grey Moss put down today. Poor Moss was only 3 and a couple of days ago he lost the use of his rear legs. After two days staying in the vets it was decided because of the dreadful pain he was suffering and not responding to any treatment the kindest thing to do was to let him go. I just can't begin to imagine how terrible they must be feeling to have lost two of their beloved dogs in 10 days....My heart is just so darn sad tonight for them...
Sleep tight little man and run free again with Holly xxxx

I see that playing around with your alcohol inks paid off! Your layout is beautiful, just seen it on the DC forum.
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling sad at the loss of your family's two dogs - that's pretty hard for anyone to go through. Although it is kinder for the doggie it doesn't make it any easier.
We used to have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Lady, we had to have her rehomed when she was 9 as she took a nip out of our son and felt it was kinder for her to live out the remainder of her life in peace away from active kids. However she died 9 months later and it was so hard when we heard the news even though we had previously said our goodbyes (that was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do).
Sorry to hear about the two poor doggies - to lose one is very sad, but two in a week is so unfair. :(
