Antoinette's Hobbies

When you're only seven and you *really* want to tell someone you love them more than life, the universe and everything, there's only one way to do it: Hearts, hearts, more hearts, pink, gold (what class!), a poem laboriously memorised and recited with...

My machine and my fingers have been busy again: A white summer romper: And a little cross-stitch, which I framed in fabric:

A basic page, for now. I'll probably make a mini album with the other photos from that day which turned out well. Mega curved rectangles for all the mats and shaped elements, bazzill green for the background, a Rayher paper for the foreground (I think),...

I am so fortunate! My eldest child, though not yet 1 year old at the time, was never, ever jealous of her first brother when he joined our family. The two of them have grown up together, inseparable, and are each other's best-best friend. They are totally...

I do like C & S layouts, and despite occasional forays into other styles I usually come back to my favourite pretty rapidly. Here's a LO of my No1 son playing in the forest playground during September 1999. That cheeky grin is infectious!!! Background...

Wonderful lot of goodies from La Compagnie Des Elfes up for grabs. A raffle will be held after midnight 29 May and the lucky winner of this fantastic selection of holiday papers, stamps and embellishments will be pulled from the hat. All you have to do...
