- My Non-Sequitur Gallery
It's taken me a while, but finally I managed to have three cards published on the Non-Sequitur website. I'm thrilled to be included with such talent as Mark Rosenboom, Sija Teigeler, Hannamaija Teisko and of course my all time favourite stamp artist - Melissa Hatalsky - Famous in France!
On Monday 24th July 2006 I was featured on the French website called 'Best of Scrap' - not bad for a non-Scrapbooker! - Brayergirl's Shop of Dreams
Yes - I finally did it. Commission me to make you a card at my Etsy Shop site - My Gallery at Simply Sentiments

Just after Christmas, my Mum and I went for a walk along Largs waterfront to the Marina. It was a very cold day, so we had to wrap up warm, but the weather was perfect, clear and sunny. I took my camera with me so that I could take some photographs of the town, especially as I guessed there would be a good sunset that evening. Sure enough, by the time we had finished our coffee and a snack at the Marina, the sun was going down and I managed to get some pretty good shots:
