Super Simple Page
Needing to clear some photo backlog? Time to revert to simple pages. Just two colours, in this case Cranberry and Bamboo. Daub the edges in the same coloured inks for a subtle edge highlight. Add a caption to each photo. Cut a decorative title on your Cricut or use some ABC stickers. Done! Next page...

Is a picture worth a thousand words?
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
You've all heard this oft repeated saying, I'm sure. I agree to a certain extent. A photo showing a sunset often has more impact than a written description. A perfect snap of a newborn babe in his Nanna's arms conveys so many messages without the need for words. But, without the words, each photo is open to a different interpretation by each viewer.

Cash Gifts
Our family LOVE birthdays. We pride ourselves on giving thoughtful gifts and like to go "Off List" at times to surprise the birthday girl or boy. This year my daughter is frantically saving to go volunteering in Uganda for 10 weeks and needs some very boring and very practical gifts like hiking boots. Most people gave her cash towards these purchases. I still wanted it to be a little fun to receive the gift so I made this card for her.

St Patrick's Day
Yesterday was St Patrick's Day and a bit of serendipity saw me scrapbooking a photo from last years St Patrick's Day! I decided a monochromatic colour scheme fit the bill. The chosen colour of course, was green! I love using shades of the one colour on a page - it always makes the elements work together so easily.
I chose Champagne for my background because it is an earthy neutral and it was what we drank on the day! The greens used were Pear, Sweet leaf, New England Ivy and Olive. I am in l…

Artiste Butterflies
Perth has an urban orchard, right in the heart of the city. Raised beds showcase herbs, vegetables and fruit trees. It's right beside the art gallery and we always take a wander through this garden when we are visiting this part of the city. Mike is a keen gardener and we both love the colour and texture that comes from food producing plants. We love photographing everyday stuff like this - it will be a 'snapshot in time' for our grandkids.

Cityscape
I bought the Cityscape Stamp Set (C1563) with these photos in mind and I am thrilled with the way the page turned out. We were having one of our 'Tourist in our own town' days and exploring the newly opened Brookfield Plaza. I wanted a very simple layout as the photos had lots of detail within them.
The NEW Paper Fundamentals Basics Assortment (Z1939) was perfect for the pages. This set features double sided papers that are embossed and shiny on one side and 2 toned on the other. I'm on my se…

Balloon Ride WOTG
Today's pages were created by my daughter, Kathryn. She is a no frills scrapbooker. Her pages need to have lots of room for photos and there is always a long story to be written.
The layout featured in the Balloon Ride Workshop on the Go Kit suited her style perfectly.
