It's all about Will...

Good morning Sweet stampers!!

This morning over at SWEET STAMPING we have a new challenge...

ADD A PHOTO...

Easy yeah???

Well not so for me... I have changed my mind so much this week on what to do... but I guess it is always good to push yourselves so I tried scrap booking ( well I always say I will do a page but never quite have the time....!!!), So then I needed to decide what my scrapbook page would be.... oh my...

Then I thought about what we did last year, and holidays where what sprung to mind....

Now Sam and I don't buy my sister and Paul (her soon to be hubby!!) Christmas or Birthday presents, no I am not that bad a sister lol... Instead we pay for them to have a holiday every year (only in a caravan lol!!!) and last year we went to Great Yarmouth. It was Williams first holiday so we did lots of kiddie things...so here is my page...



Now I call him my handsome prince... but when I saw this bigger photo..he was King lol..






The writing says...

When I was king, I had fun at the fair, went for a sail and bounced in my castle!!

I am quite happy with my first attempt lol..

Now pop on over to the blog here to see what other projects you can do with a photo...I was amazed lol..

This week we are sponsored by Tiddly Inks (my fave!!!)

And don't forget we have our monthly sponsor Whimsy stamps!!

Thanks and have a lovely weekend xx
