you & me

I tried to move the gold journal strips to the top of the page, but I damaged the pic at little in trying to remove them so they've stayed put. I feel they cut the photo in half rather than letting it flow from the top to the bottom of the page. No matter. It's done and I've moved on.

 

ice cream

Sometimes, and its been more than once, I've done a photo for what I call 'scrapbooking purposes' with certain embellishments in mind. There's been a flurry of icecream puffy ephemera lately that just begged to be used but I didn't have a photo for them. I've gone back after the photo was taken and done some pastel rainbow splats that worked with each of the squares as I felt the LO was missing them.

Doing a bit circle work on this one.

Who said you can't use pink and red together??!

sports day

First ever sports day for Mr S. He gave his all.

sand & surf

I watched a Vicki Boutin live on Facebook to create this background. Its all about the layering of colours bit by bit. It takes a while to build the depth but the intensity of the colour and the translucency of the gelato drips is awesome.

A bit of fun with mixed media for the background. Notice the subtle stars?

run free

Having a blast with rainbows atm. Using Vicki Boutin Sunburst paper from the Let's Wander Collection. This one is 100% inspired by Vicki Parker on the Hip Kit Club blog, who in turn was inspired by Missy Whidden.

Can you spot where a sequin went rogue and disappeared from the sunburst? drat it.

Pastels and rainbows. What a beautiful combination

Life is kinda like rain ...

The rainbow thing is everywhere atm so I thought I'd get on the bandwagon with this one.

Life is kinda like rain. 

You always have two choices,

to sulk, 

and sit inside,

OR run around in it

and have a blast.

totally rad

Followed the colour scheme of the cogs embellies with stitching in white. Could have (should have stitched in the same colour in the different segments. (too lazy)

this lass has sass

One way of using up a lot of numbers. Inspired by Kelly Noel on Big Picture

row row row your boat

Gone with the classic grid to get it done.

not all who wander are lost

A trip up the West Coast found us stopping at Lock's Well. What a delight. Clean and pristine. Just don't go in the water, the rips are intense.

your vibe attracts your tribe

I've been wanting to use this dream catcher for the longest time and this pic was just perfect for it.

little man

This page within the photo will take 9 years to complete. That must be some kind of record.

home

I stacked several Home cutfiles to create enough depth for the little house buttons inside. Originally it was going to be a shaker box idea with the buttons but I liked them this way instead. In hindsight I wouldn't have put the clear transparency layer on as I really didn't need to in the end.

wanted

Had a ball coming up with this one with a bit of photoshop magic.
