A Postcard A Day - Second on the 2nd - Thursday 2 April 2026 -

 Hello! No postcard today!  Today Elizabeth and Bluebeard will be expecting to see a blogpost that was published before so I'm posting an old blogpost from 2014. It was published on the 5th of April. 

Perhaps you have seen it before. It is after all one of my favorites. The photo is a favorite and so is the song. 

Hi everybody! Thanks for stopping by again at my blog. This time it's about scrapbooking.

Depending on where in the world you live, you may or may not have seen a man in a kilt. Although my husband Graham was born in Guernsey, he is of Scottish descent and is allowed to wear a MacKay kilt.(The one in the photo has the hunting tartan).  He used to wear it a lot on stage when he was front man of a ceilidh (pron. kay-ley) band (folk band) but nowadays it's only for special occasions. I think he looks very smart in his kilt. I have this photo from our son's wedding and have been wanting to make a scrapbook page of it for a while.  

I've used the lyrics of 'In My LIfe' by the Beatles. I love this old song. It’s from Rubber Soul, the album I have many sweet memories from.... I heard it the other day and thought the lyrics are so appropriate for me. 

So I’ve had some fun over the last few days making this layout from the CSI (Colors, stories, inspiration) challenge. This was their ‘Case File’:

 I used all the colours in their palette.

Then from the ‘Evidence’ I used a solid black background, a circle, and used a sewing machine and a heat glue gun (Using electricity). I thought that the song lyrics would count as a music element. I only needed to choose two pieces of evidence but I got more....
The ‘Testimony’ I used (only one is needed)of course was using song lyrics to inspire my page.






























Here are the lyrics, written by John Lennon:

There are places I’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
 All these places have their moments
 With lovers and friends I still can recall
 Some are dead and some are living
 In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
 And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
 For people and things that went before
 I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

In My Life is a song from 1965. For those who weren’t around then and for those who can’t remember, here is the link to listen to the song: http://www.last.fm/music/The+Beatles/_/In+My+Life

I hope you enjoyed that song. 

That's it for today. Thank you for looking.

God bless and keep scrapping!
