The blushing bride

I promised a pic of the blushing bride from last weekend. When creashens brought out the Before kit, I just knew the texture on the paper would give the soft and old worldish feel I was wanting.

This picture of my dear old neighbour just epitomises the radiance that a new bride feels whether young in age or 72 like Betty is. I must admit I was very uneasy whilst Mike was the shutterbug while I was doing important things like holding Betty's flowers. I like to zoom in and get right into faces in my photographs, so as soon as I was able I grabbed the camera and happily clicked away. I caught her unawares here and this is how I always want to remember her.

I do love Betty so much. She is a tough ol' gal, speaks her mind, calls a spade a spade. She has a heart of gold and we have shared many a conversation over a cup of tea.

And here is the beautiful Before kit that creashens has designed. The texture on the papers are just gorgeous. I had also used the sprinkles from her Faded Summer Kit which I had recoloured to suit. Click on the pic below to take you to the shoppe.

I woke up this morning full of a head cold, sniffing and sneezing. My nose is red raw right now. And now one of Mike's friend's has just arrived with a stack of pictures of his recent Egypt trip and I adore looking at photographs. I'll just have to sit in the corner and look at them on my lonesome, I don't want to be sneezing over anyone. Ick.
