Altered Frames

I have been working on this collection of frames for a while and finally they are done! I sanded the frames and painted them white. Then I created little works of art to go inside the frames using paper, flowers and pictures of vintage ladies. The frames are now hanging in a group on my bedroom wall.

Pretty Vintage

Here are a selections of layouts I've made recently. I love the pretty papers and paper flowers.

Once Upon a... Sketch

I thought I would have a go at the Once Upon A Sketch layout challenge on their blog. The journal criteria was a quote and mine says:

“And forget not that the Earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair" 

by Kahlil Gibran. I think it goes well with the photo.  I flipped the sketch on the side. Here is the link for their blog post:

Barwon Heads

I feel very blessed to live near the coast. I love the sea, especially in winter; it is so fierce and alive. These photos were taken on a sunny day from the lookout on the Barwon Heads bluff. I love the sun shinning on the water.

This is a sketch from Anna’s Craft Cupboard blog (http://www.annascraftcupboard.com.au/blog/?p=10432).
