tumby 2014

Often an occasion demands a his and her layout for their albums. It's not often I do a double but when there's so many great photos, I have to showcase them. It was hard to prune them down to just these ones. Tumby is our home away from home and we spend our summers there every year. This is 2014.

a moment in time

best mates

gesso, mixed media and a bit of star value on this one. looks quite like a galaxy doesn't it!

always remember...

Many hours on a borrowed die cutter for all the leaves on this one and a fast photoshoot for the annual calander I do of the kids. Miss A, bless her cotton socks, drove over from the farm for a 30 mins sprint on the camera before heading back over the hill to go to work. Luckily for me, the kids are so practised with the camera, we had the shots in the bag in record time.

happy days

Sometimes one must celebrate oneself. Beacaue I'm worth it.

one and all

Sometimes the story of a special day needs to be recorded in all the albums. His, hers and mine, hence the triplicate layouts. It was indeed a wonderful day, shared also with the Binns and Doudle families.

hiatus and fun fun fun

I'm back. There's been a lot going on in the last 6 months or so, but safe to say, I've never been happier. Free and living the dream with a sea change. I hear the ocean when I go to bed at night, I wake up with a sea breeze at my front door. I walk with the beach under my bare feet and I'm breathing in the sweet smell of living the single life. I'm also back on the scrap wagon. I've not been in the right frame of mind to be creative, but now the itch is back.

8 cms

His version of the 8cms in 8 mths. I've used a combination of Vicki Boutin Let's Wander Mixed Media background paper, Shimelle Laine Field Trip - Measure Up and Cocoa Vanilla Sunkissed for this one. The three collections work well together.

splash

Many moons ago I was given a pack of coloured vellums which I've used a bit on this LO. A scraplift inspired by Pam Baldwin on Studio Calico.

The border punches saw the light of day with this one. Its a scraplift of someone's that I'm unable to find atm to give them the credit due. I used up heaps of scraps and love the textures within this one.

Scrapshack2021 mkI was a doozy. Many cocktails, a ripper sail out on Coffin Bay Explorer and a bit of creativity. Love this mob.

happy days

Something with a different shape from a traditional layout. Crushing hard on Cocoa Vanilla Studio's "Happiness" range and a zillion white paint splats.

8 mths 8 cms

I found it amazing how fast S has grown, but I didn't know he'd grown that much in 8 months. Thank goodness for photos to be able to record the milestone of shooting up past his sister who he has looked up to all his life. She's not impressed that she now has to look up to him lol.

Trinity Craft Weekend

Home from a sensational weekend away by the sea surrounded by love, laughter, craft and infused with gin with a bit of scrapbooking on the side. Time well spent with beautiful souls to disconnect from the real world and reconnecting with those I've not seen for a while.

summer icecream

I'm so crushing on whatever Josefine Vdhoeven creates and I am so lucky to have found her for creative inspo. This one is no exception.
