BEACH BABE

I AM VERY EXCITED.... one of my layouts is on the "Kraft it up" blog.
the challenge was to use "KRAFT"paper and four or more photos.
I always find it a challenge to use more than 2 photos. ?????
these shots are of Ella at "the kingston park beach"
I used glimmermist and a mask... added a few embellishments and cut out some text paper as a matt for the photos.


have a great weekend.
and I'll see SOME OF YOU at the ALL DAY SCRAP.

SCHOOL DAYS

sorting through some old photos and came across some old SCHOOL SHOTS...thought I would share this with you.....AND GIVE YOU A BIT OF A GIGGLE???!!!
it was back in 1955 and my twin sister Lorraine and I are sitting in the front row.
we were in our first year of school... and I must say school wasn't my favourite place.


a close up.
I am second on the left and Lorraine is on the end of the row on the right.
little blondes aren't we ???? our hair was quite white right up till the age of 12 ... then it began to darken
now I have some help .... thank goodness for colour these days.

thanks for looking
have a great weekend.

Layouts with "STITCHING"

I had great fun creating these layouts using some hand and machine stitching.
I rather like the effect ... and I feel it creates another dimension.
next week I am going to have a play with fabric and paint whoo hooo !!??
mixed media..... just love it !!!




here I used a white wash on text paper ... it completely changed the look of the page.

thanks for looking

African faces

Recently a friend returned home from a trip to AFRICA...
SHE GAVE ME THESE PHOTOS SHE SHOT WHILE HOLIDAYING OVER THERE.
"life is so hard for these children..."
I felt extremely emotional while scrapping this page.
we must be grateful for our life and all the opportunities we receive here in Australia.

GREAT CLASS YESTERDAY



Thanks girls for a fun class. Your pages looked fantastic. Well done all of you!!

a class of 8 is a great number to manage. I am grateful that you all still like my work and attend my classes. It means a lot to me. many thanks.





Just wanted to post a few shots of the work I have been creating at my

"CONTEMPORARY TEXTILE COURSE."

This book consists of some of my over-dyed fabrics.

ONE of our projects was to create something using some of our dyed fabrics.

most of the girls are making a garment....

I have made a BAG which I will post later next week.



BUT GUESS WHAT I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE ??? YES A BOOK !!!! SURPRISE, SURPRISE??

here are some shots.

there are 6 pages in total.

I used shades of purple and pink throughout the book to keep the theme flowing.







this page is named "IMAGINE" I added a Tim Holtz disc.

very shabby chic for me don't you think??

The page consists of old doillies and cloth serviettes I collected from a opp. shop.

also wool, buttons, and metal.

(had to put a scrapbooking spin on it didn't I??)







the first page of the book.

I had fun covering the heart with fabric!







the cover ---- a dramatic black and white.







thanks for looking

I will post more pages later.



love and light
