Pretty papers

For this months challenge at Scrapbook Boutique this image was inspiration:






and here is my layout:

Miss Nelly...

It's been a while since I've done a Kaiser Craft Saturday Sketch from their blog. I LOVE the Miss Nelly collection so I had a lot of fun with this sketch. The sketch I used was September 'Monday Make Up Sketch'.

I used:

• Miss Nelly papers
• Miss Nelly cutouts and borders
• Kaiser pearls

1995

For the current Once Upon A Sketch challenge you had to scrap a memorable event and include the year as a title. I chose 1995 which was the year I started school. I look so tiny!

I found this photo when I was digging through my Mum's box of photos a couple of months ago. I love how I am holding hands with my little sister. I wounder how long it took Mum to get us to hold hands?

The Bluff

I've done another Crafty Sketches layout from the sketch on their blog. The photos here were taken when I walked around the Barwon Heads Bluff when the tide was out. I love how wild and rugged the Bluff looks. I had to keep an eye on the tide though because if it came in I would be trapped! There is no way to get back to the beach after the tide comes in!

Tea Time

I made these adorable paper tea cups for The Shabby Tea Room's weekly challenge (http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com/2011/08/week-74-tea-for-two.html). I love them! I gave them to my Mum for her birthday. She is a big tea drinker and collects tea cups and saucers. This is something that she has passed down on to me- the tea cup collecting, I myself am a coffee drinker!

Crafty Sketches

I've done a layout for Crafty Sketches August sketch (http://craftysketches.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-sketch.html).

Once Upon a Sketch challenge

For this fortnights Once Upon a Sketch challenge (http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-1st-challenge-meet-our-guest.html)
 the journalling criteria was to finish the line; "A perfect day is...". I chose a picture of the Barwon River and flipped the sketch around. My journalling reads:

                  "A perfect day is spent walking along the Barwon River and the beach, feeling the wind       in my  hair and sand at my feet."
