Dig U


Over on UKS, one of my team mates Amy gave us a challenge to scrap a layout using all the colours of the rainbow.  A dream come true for someone who is obsessed with colours like myself.  I used a sketch from Shimelle's Blog to help me along and came up with this stripy deckchair inspired seaside layout.

The photo's are of little Rob as a tot, grinning at the camera while having a dig on an Isle of Wight beach.  It may be Sandown or possibly Ventor, i can't quite remember.  We had gone over for the day on the hovercraft while staying along the south coast near Bognor.  I can't quite remember the place because we decided to visit shortly afterwards for a holiday....what a disaster that was. But that's another story...

I love his cute smile and the colours of his sweatshirt. The journalling tells the story of how he hated having his feet on the sand or in the sea but loved digging in the sand (with shoes on) and how now he is 16 he has changed a lot except for that killer smile.

Nigel and I celebrate 23 years of marriage this year and I have always said that the secret to married life is give and take and being able to laugh with each other. 

So those girls better look out when Rob's mega smile is unleashed on them...
