When my Mum went a bit crazy....

My Mum is normally a very sane sensible individual... so when she announced she was going to abseil off one of Reading's tallest buildings we were all ready to call the funny farm! Well she did it and made a lot of money for charity and I found the photos when going through my 2010 album looking for gaps (thank you Cover to Cover).

This is the LO I made


I used some really old papers and incorporated all my style elements - mini-alphas, a tab in one corner, 3 PPs, handwritten journalling and a date stamp. I also used this lovely sketch from Sarah's cards, which I think was absolutely perfect. The colours are a bit stronger than the photo makes them, but overall I am very happy with this LO. And I put it straight away in the 2010 album after taking the photo! :)
