Baby Love

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at 

Our lovely Michele is hosting this time round, and has chosen

👶Baby Love👶

as her theme. Tags of all formats about babies and mothers, human or animal, are welcome. As always you have 2 weeks to link to us, and we are looking forward to seeing your creations. I made a hybrid tag using elements from Serif and me,
showing a photo of my mum and me:



Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T gang. Last week my friend N celebrated her birthday, and baked the best ever, ever, ever chocolate, banana and walnut cake. My drink was coffee:


Some photos from last week taken on my walks and out of my window:













 This pigeon seems to be watching me!







The cormorant:


 A hungry baby bird, a bit blurred  as it wouldn't keep still:



Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. That tag is out of this world. I am in awe, and simply adore your hybrid art. I loved the flowers, the ribbons, and of course, the photo of you and your mother. What a great tribute to her.

    That cake looks good enough to eat. Too bad there is none left for me (grin), but I probably don't need the calories. The service on the table is divine. Your friend knows how to put on a spread. Nice to see her coffee, too.

    I especially liked the photo from the freshly mowed field and the close up flowers. Thanks for sharing these, your incredible tag, and your friend's birthday and coffee with us for T this Tuesday, dear Valerie.

And I think your cak not only looks beautiful but sure sounds like it was yummy.That's an interesting cake plate too. It looks like a glass watermelon slice. And your bird photos are beautiful.

  12. waue you live in such a beautiful area and take so many love photos I love to take great photos to, not with my cell phone but my real camera its great dont you think ;O))

  13. Your tag is beautiful Valerie, i'm always in awe at these hybrid posts as I wish I had the understanding to create digitally too. The Birthday cake looks rather scrummy and full of those energising ingredients I crave at the moment, good choice of a coffee to partner it up on T Day!! Coffee & cake works hand in hand.
    Your photographs as ever are so refreshing, our weather has been glorious over the past few days and I am making the most of it. Sorry if I have been neglecting my blogging duties but I will catch up with everything very soon.
    Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday full of sunshine Tracey xx

  14. Another entertaining post, I particularly liked the Wystreia (spl) photographs.

    The Duck is saying to the Drake, "Don't look now, but I think that's a tsunami coming our way" ....... only in German.

  15. A totally stunning tag, such a wonderful vintage photo and a lovely background! Very cleverly put together! Srunning photos today too! Oh how I love those Spring moods that are expressed so well in them! I note that the tag would be perfect for Jo's theme at AJJ but you don't seem to add projects there anymore.... I am just curious why???

  23. Best tag ever! I love it. You ARE a cutie and your mom looks so happy.

  24. What a beautiful tag and photo of you and yourmum. Very special. It's a nice theme (babies).
    I agree, that choc cake looks delicious. Photos taken with a phone often come out in mirror image, so I assume your friend is 64.
    The photos of your walk are gorgeous as usual. Everything is so green! (I suppose I'm not used to that).
    Thank you for taking me with you on your walk. Your photos of the birds are wonderful. Well done.

  27. Lovely tag, Valerie. You were an adorable little tyke.

    The cake sounds scrumptious. Chocolate, banana and walnut - what a delicious combo.

    I don't know why I haven't asked before because your photos are always stunning. Are you or were you a professional photographer? The photo of the white and pink flowers just takes my breath away. They're all so beautifully lit.

    Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen

  38. That pigeon photo is so good, so real, so alive, it almost looks like it can't be real! How in the world did you capture that? It's incredible and it should be on a card or poster or blown up big!

    (And loved your tag with your mum. Lovely.)
