Im Very excited to be involved in the CRAFTING ON THE SEA adventure

Oh what a trial it will be sailing and scrapping ..not 

 I am so pumped to be able to share my unique style of scrap therapy

 with the happy scrappers on this wonderful voyage ..

 if you are interested , best you contact Rose @ rose@scrapwithfriends.com.au

Pat Ngoho

This is something a little more recent .

These photos were taken 14 months ago on a roof top apartment in Bondi .

Legend skater, artist Pat Ngoho was being interviewed for an Australian Skateboarding Magazine Heelside and i got the photo gig . I also scrapped the layout for the article which was fun.. 

 Now ,cool to come across these pix and give them a fresh 2014 make over .

this one is a few months old and should have gone in the previous post,

 a guest DT with Flutterby Designs.

I love using Anitas Funky fun embellies , oh and LOL at the ant crawling across my page....

hmmm i must have been on the ball with that edit session.

Now published and ready to share .

I have a pile of layouts to share from the last few months that , have been used for Design teams , or magazine work and I am stoked to be finally able to upload my pieces and share with those that visit..

This piece above is a particular fav , as it was created on the inner sleeve of a record from my vault.

I think its from a Led Zepplin album,i'm going to have to check with my bro on his next visit.

 a little blog update featuring a recent gauche newsletter submission ,

Love this image of Venus in this Botticelli piece ,in contrast to the modern woman's tattoo'd form..

I think i need a weekend of art journalling..

 I've been focusing so much on layouts this year and haven't had time for art journalling

* note to self..MAKE TIME 

back to some layouts , i pumped out a pile last week for 1st of the month DT commitments blah blah and i have a couple to actually share..omg...something to share .

Highlighting part of his Quiver 

i have a lil obsession with dripping house paint over my l/o atm..

works wonderfully with this dirty grungy style of scrapping.

WW1 April

White With 1-April

White with 1 this month is featuring Mint as the colour theme .

Very soft and pastely, I do love green in all its shades, and this colour was easy to work with 

This months sponsor is Green Tara. 

Always a scrapping joy to have some beautiful petals and lace , 

ribbons and blossoms to play with and Green Tara supplied such a

 beautiful array of gorgeous goodies to be inspired by.

Here is what I did .

I painted around the photo to soften things and take out the burn grass 

in the image. i am thinking to myself now, why didn't i just cut us from the photo..doh !

Head over to WW1 and 

check out what the rest of the girls have put together for this months challenge.

Love is All You Need

Recently, I was blessed to attend Amanda and James' Wedding .

I've known Amanda for a little under 20 yrs ,

and have been lucky enough to see her blossom into a

 beautiful, intelligent, confident , passionate, conscious young woman.

Now i know all brides are beautiful on their special day ,

 but Amanda was utterly breathtaking,

 and now i have some images of the day to play with.

Music played an important part throughout the day -

 James serenaded Amanda during the service,with an original piece he had written for her ,

 He also played at the reception,

 The cake had a musical theme.... i could go on and on...

So of course, a musical title was called for :)

but back to this gorgeous bride..

In the not to distant future,

I'm imagining her being handed a full scrapped album of her special wedding day ,

after i finish with these all these gorgeous images .

 Check out the detail on this black mass of rad mess. 

I found this placemat at Target (Australia), 

actually Paul found it when we were out and said it would be "cool to scrap on".

But i found a better use for it.

A bargin for only $3

when ya just have to scrap

After completing Emily's 21st album ,

 I've been flat out with work commitments for the last 7 days,

 during that time i just had to create something for me .

even if its only a 30 minute layout..

it still refreshed my creative spirit..

i especially loved drip painting with a little house paint .♥

3 days ,2 evenings and a deadline

3 weeks ago I received  a commission , and a deadline..

Hmmmm, so many other deadlines, working and photographic commitments,

and time just got away from me .

So on Monday morning I sat down at the table and started creating 

a tribute album for Emily who turned 21 this week.

tonight is her party

 and today I had great joy handing over this gorgeous piece of lovingly made

SCRAP ART to her Beautiful Mumma Tricia .

There are a pile of PL pages in the back with photos of friends and words of love from them.

I hope Emily loves colour.
