Echuca Wharf

Here is another LO of photos when we were just having fun. I have used Kaisercraft Up UP & Away, I love the earthy tones which I feel goes well with the photos. From my showbag that I got on the Make & Take day I got 3 leather Name Plates, so I turn the large one over and rubs some back & brown ink to get the rustic look. On the corrigated cardboard I have sprinkled walnut granuals to get the rustic look on it, then rub it with inks and rub on inks. Lastly I attached a metal tag, which I will when I find my engraver, engrave "Belly" on it.

My Belle

Talking about my girl, my girl Belle. The photo on the left has become my favourite photo of DD, while the one on the right I just like, I love the big old log in the background as a back drop. Well here is another example of Kaisercraft paper range that I didn't think that I would use, how wrong I was (again), the colours and the rustic look just happen to suit these photos. So not a lot of brain storming had to go into this one, as one idea just led to the next with a little discussing with my scrap booking friends (we had a afternoon get together and a couple of us continued well after dinner, take away, no time for cooking). I used the foam mounting tape to raise the circles and butterfly plus the title. I doodled around the paper with a white pen, inked the edge of everything in sight with slate grey ink pad & sanded the edge of the photos. A little bit of string in each tag and stamped the dated on and its done.

Aussie Chick to Yankee Doodle

Yeah I have finished my first LO, these are photos that I took of DD on our last Sunday before she left for USA, the Aussie flag in the background was signed & lovely words of wisdom were written by all family and friend. The other is of her plane as it pull away from me :(. I use the Pink Paisley paper and the cricuit to cut out the title Mini Monograms. The journaling font is one of Twopeas I think called journaling, its a bit hard to see here, but it could be someones handwritting. The LO isn't anything special, but I just love the photos.

She has gone!!

Well 1 1/2 days gone and counting down to DD returns from USA. I can't believe that I didn't get any photos at the airport of her before she left (thats how bad my brain was), but I did get some of her plane, so there is a LO I hope to do this weekend coming.

Count Down

Well DD will be gone in 6 days time, so I hope I can find my creative brain and start to scrap book again. The photos are just piling up, I took 180 yesterday of DD around the Port area, I promise I won't scrap book all of them, but there are a few nice ones that I will be doing. I love the thought of doing rustic layouts. I am getting excitted at the thought!!!!
