This is another 60x30cm layout I recently completed for Enrico and Angie's wedding album I am creating with their wedding photos I took during January this year. I just love combining black with pink and think it makes such a great visual impact. It was also Angie's first time proudly becoming Mrs Nell. Working with black & white photos makes life much easier when it comes to selecting cardstock colours as one can actually put any colour with it.
Been at the specialist this morning for the discomfort I have had over the past years in my right hip and we discovered that my right leg is 1.5cm shorter than my left leg which also causes my pelvis to tilt forward ... all of this of course is putting strain on the muscles. So I have to have an inner sole made for my shoes which I must wear whilst exercising and when I wear closed shoes. Then I will have a follow on appointment with the specialist to see what the progress is, early 2010.
Then of course I have received the fantastic news of having been selected as one of four new design team members for the ABC Challenge Blog and would like to take this opportunity to also congratulate my fellow newly appointed design team members and am looking forward to creating with them. Can't wait for our first challenge ... feel so honoured. Also thank you to all of my dedicated followers who wished me luck ... it payed off!
Thanks again for all your lovely comments ... you are all true blogging friends.
These are beautiful Desire!

Beautiful layout and interesting news. Aren't we all supposed to be slightly off center and alignment? Too much is obviously not a good thing. I hope the accommodations work.

ReplyDeleteStunning layout - I agree using black and white opens up a range of colours. Wow 1.5cm shorter that is a lot. Glad they have now found out and can do something. Yikes for all these years no-one thought to check that out.
