Hey there!

I hope you're having a good week so far.

Here in SE Qld we're drying out from days of rain - and thinking of those who are still being affected by ex-cyclone Oswald:(

I'm popping in to share another layout that has recently been featured on the Scrapbook Boutique Blog. I had a lovely time playing with Webster's Pages Park Drive Collection and this time I wanted to create something completely different to my first layout.... which was pretty and frilly.

I chose a few photos from our trip around Australia back in 2004 and got to work......

I wanted to add the story behind these photos so I created two journalling cards and tucked them in each side of my photos.

Can you believe the size of this thing!!

I had some fun with texture paste and a stencil on the trim.

Here's a look at all the products I used, available from Scrapbook Boutique -

Hey there...I hope you're well and had a wonderful Christmas! We did :)

I'm whizzing in this arv to show you a few layouts I've recently completed for the annual Christmas Calendars that we give as gifts to my Mum and hubbies' Mum.....a tradition that has been going on for about 9 years now :)

This is the blank calendar I buy from Paper 'n Stuff at Cooranbong.....the space for the layouts measures 21cm x 21cm....they are great value at about $15.

Here's a look inside before I add all my layouts....

....and a few of the layouts I created for this year's calendars....nothing too 3D so the calendars don't become too bulky to hang on the wall iykwim :)

I hope you enjoyed that little peek into what I've been up to :)
