Gym was a love for you. You could throw yourself around pretty well and the confidence you gained was awesome. 

amazing africa

Africa as a photographic destination had been calling me for years and in 2015 I realized that dream. It was everything and so much more. I will be back.

this...

I have to say this is the most prettiest layout I think I've ever made. Cocoa Vanilla Midnight, Vicki Boutin watercolours and a cut file from Paige Evans.

this.... makes my heart ache. Times like these only happen in school holidays now that Annie is away in college. So these times are all the more precious.

ps. did you spot the typo (insert roll eyes).

beautiful moments

Oh Cocoa Vanilla Midnight range has well and truly stole my heart. Picked up the range on Thursday from Scrapworkz in Port Lincoln and by Friday night this layout was done. Cut file adapted from a christmas card file. 

and then this happened

So within a blink of an eye she has gone from newborn to 16!

 Wait!! What??

 How did that happen??

So proud of Miss Annie. So flippin proud

small stuff

sometimes less is more as is the case for this layout. Journaling is on point, no embellishing, a large well constructed title and backing cardstock is all that is needed. 

Job done.

remember this

scraplifted from another scrapbooker that I don't recall the name of (my apologies her). My bad. Is there anyone that can help me with a name?

perfecting the pin drop

This one is one of my all time faves. I just love the tropcial feel to it, the sewing and the little cluster of embellies.

Had a bit of fun making a shaker box with mesh and sequins with this one. To keep the colour sequins from mixing, I ran the LO through a sewing machine, sewing diagonally from corner to corner leaving a little gap to pour the sequins into each pocket. Then I sewed that gap closed. Easy Peasy.

maths award

not all layouts have photos ;)

love

Without a doubt, every time I want to journal in a circle I need to google/YouTube how to do it. And I'm pretty sure every time I do I find a new way of doing it.  Always learning new tricks.

i smile, i laugh

let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

leap of faith

I had a little whoopsie with the f on this one. While sewing the line of thread the f got all hooked up in the foot of the sewing machine. I ended up raising the foot and hand winding the wheel and manual feed the page through over that bit of it to get it done. I then had to come back and make a couple of small cuts with my craft knife to get the f to sit flat again.

That little awesome icecream used to be a paperclip that I've had since forever, found in Kmart.

hello awesome

scrapping onto large photos is da bomb. quick embellish and its done. move on.

beautiful

One of my faves from a recent #wwww scrapbooking weekend.

Inspired by a LO that was posted somewhere on Pinterest.

authentic

A very simple LO that really didn't need embellishing.
