trust

Very much influenced by Wilna Furstenberg with this LO.  Liquid gold ink is to die for too btw, 

Journaling says : Trust me. Your hair was your crowning glory. So thick. So lush. So healthy. When it was plaited it was just like a rope. 

Detail of the butterflies and the background.

Mother's Day 2011. 

Journalling says Mother's Day is kisses and Tim Tam Slams in bed for breakfast.

Lots of gold glitter on the hearts in the background. That stuff went everywhere around the room. I found glitter for days afterwards. :)

#scrapshack2016 15th LO completed

summer

It was so good to get all four us in front of the camera. And a lot of fun too. I popped the camera on a tripod, let the kids have the remote trigger, used a couch on the lawn while at the beach on summer holidays, and a sky that was going off at sunset. Perfect ingredients.

I've used a lock of Annie's hair that was cut during this big chop and popped it in a little ziplock bag on this LO. I used a Heidi Swapp transparent project life card insert as a backing to the little bag to jazz it up a little. Journalling is on the white photo border.

Gosh. It doesn't seem that long ago when he started school and all of a sudden its already 2016. Where did that time go.

#scrapshack2016 LO number 12

love

#scrapshack LO 11.

So soft and so feminine. One of my faves from that weekend. The cut file quote is from one of Wilna's 16 Ways to Love classes. So is the print cut file. The love word came from elsewhere.

Have a great day.

#scrapshack2016 number 10 layout

The journaling says it all.  

birds of a feather

As much as I don't like to dilute what I put on or say on my blog, as it is my space, I feel that the cut file says pretty much what needs to be said. There used to be 5 for coffee, but now there's us four. I've photographed the LO to leave out the journalling on purpose.

'nuff said.

believe in the magic

#scrapshack2016 is about getting the mojo on, and it's certainly done that. All of us have been scrapping away since in our homes, working it around busy work lives, family and commitments, which is just wonderful.

I've definitely noticed a shift in my layouts to more creative backgrounds. The first thing I reach for now are paints, gesso and mists. 

I'm just in LURVE with this one.

Following along Wilna Furstenburg's 16 Ways to Love.....

Seriously, what's not to love with Wilna. Ribbon flower, sequins, foliage all added extras.

LO #7 from #scrapshack2016  

Loosely based on Wilna's Furtensberg's LO in her 16 Ways to Love set of images.

That gold glitter was everywhere over that weekend.

i still fall for you every day.

Layout #6 from #scrapshack2016. 

Lots of Wilna Furstenberg influence on this one. My sentiment is on the tag next to the photo.

happy

Lots of gold touches sneaking their way into my LO's lately. I used to think gold was tacky and rather tasteless, but now clearly my view on that has changed. :)

delight

The kids and I had so much fun hamming it up for the camera. We really should do this more often. The camera was on the tripod and the kids had the remote trigger to take the shots. Letting them take control was so liberating. And I had no idea of what shots we had in the can until I looked at them later. That was the best part. So many unexpectedly awesome ones. And not one of them stiff and posed. Brilliant.

we are family

exactly as the journaling says...

#scrapshack LO no. 3

the collective

The overall #scrapshack2015 collective effort from me was 14 layouts. I think between the 6 of us approx 80 layouts were completed. That's a hugely creative weekend well spent with like minded souls who enjoy music, cocktails, laughing till your belly hurts and time away from home. Lets do it again!

***edited to add *** 

I've removed this image that had 14 LO's on display on the staircase as a number of them have been selected for publication.

shine!

LO no 2 from #scrapshack2016

Lots of deliciousness in this LO.  Gold cut files, gold ribbon, oversized gold paperclip and typing directly onto the photo. Not to mention the sexy paint splats on the black chalkboard paint background.

just be yourself

A wonderful, close to my heart, scrappy friend and myself came up with an idea last year to create an extra scrappy weekend away for ourselves. We invited a friend or two and we had a cracker weekend with the birth of #scrapshack2015. Last weekend we had #scrapshack2016, a four day long weekend of belly laughs, music, scrapbooking, cocktails, connections, friendship and creativity. And a much needed switch off from the every day life back home.

We all hit the scrap table running with LO's coming thick and fast. It was wonderful to see an idea really blossom into something that really soothed our creative need.

Overall I had 15 LO's completed which I am really thrilled with. I think we all achieved a PB in completed pages.

LO 1.   Just be Yourself.

This is one of my favourites because of the sentiment.

clowning around

Clowning around with the kids for a selfie photoshoot. I had the camera on a tripod, the couch on the lawn and the sky very kindly was going off for us. One of the kids had a remote trigger to trip the shutter. 10 mins and I had a bunch of pics that I love, family shots that I'm in as well, and the kids took control. Gotta love that.
