Selfies

Hi everyone

With everyone busy getting ready for Christmas and the holidays, I hope you put aside some time (probably after Boxing Day) to refresh the soul by doing some creating.

In September Hubby and I did a tour of Spain & Portugal. We then stopped in the UK to visit family. We had such a wonderful time although very busy.

I think the only time we take selfies is when we are on holidays!

My first layout was done for the White with 1 challenge in November - yes you picked it! It was green. What perfect inspiration for this photo of our first day in Madrid. I just so happened to be wearing a green t-shirt.

Another Selfie layout! This time we are in Granada looking across to the Alhambra.

This is quite a simple layout for me. No stencilling, but have used a fabulous Scrapmatts title and flourish. This was another November challenge, this time from Soul Scrappers Challenges.

Until next time

Happy Scrapping

Retreat creating

Hello again all my lovelies

Todays pages were completed at the November Scrapmatts Retreat at Neville.

It is always so nice to go there with my bestie Kim and catchup with all the other ladies who go.

First up is my gorgeous little neighbour Alaina with her new little bunny, Inka.

I used lots of Scrapmatts goodies on this page, including a really lovely stencil. All the chippy pieces were inked and for the little daisy like flowers once they were a bit damp from the ink I folded them to the centre to make a lot of dimension. The background pices I also inked but then cut up and tucked throughout the page, and of course a few little bling gems were perfect for the flower centers and also on the stencil daisies.

Next page is of my cousin Michelle and Aunt Laurel who visited from WA and spent the weekend with

me before heading off to see other family. I have no memory of my Aunt Laurel but I have been told that as a child she came and visited us. We had such a lovely time together and managed to show them some of the lovely sights Orange has to offer.

For this page I again used a beautiful stencil with ink the same colour as the paper and the flowers on my top. The title a lovely shade of blue and the other chipboard pieces green plus 2 little cute yellow inked butterflies.
