A Stroll through the Seasons

Article written by Irene in fall 2014 I am really glad that I live in a part of the world (Scotland) where the seasons are distinct, or at least reasonably so - usually! These lines may not contain anything new but may, hopefully, provide a few illustrations of some of Tami's Cropdog patterns which I have particularly enjoyed using. For ...

A Challenge for the New Year

When I saw Tami’s pattern for calendar type page at the end of 2013, I knew this was something I would have to try out. This is 12 x 12 pattern No. 463 for 36 photos. Little did I know then just what an addiction this would become! I have honestly taken a photograph every day in 2014 to fit ...

‘United strength is stronger’

  My main reason for putting together this little story is to illustrate my first use of the pages which Tami kindly mirrored at my request recently.  I think that as a pair they are going to be very, very useful. We have several very well known bridges in the UK, but I doubt if many people other than local …

Moments Not Forgotten

I can’t help thinking about a well known bear, named Pooh, when I look at this memory page. Pooh knew the secrets to a happy life. “It’s the simple things that mean the most,” he said. Pooh was filled with a lot of wisdom for a little guy who never learned to spell.

Discover Why We Love “Mosaic Style” Photo Collage

A few years ago I stood on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, for the first time,  snapping shots with my camera. I wanted to capture on film what I experienced in that spectacular moment.
