Sweet Summertime

I have had these photo's of Chloe for a while and wanted to do a fresh sea side page with them but inpiration had not arrived. When I saw the White with One challenge which was Placid blue with white these photo's immediately came to mind. The blue Manor House paper as the background worked well with the photo's and really immersed the photo's into the page.
I think Chloe would have tried to catch that seagull if she could have got closer to it.

 

Thank you for looking at my page.

Happy Scrapping.

All That Glitters

I started this page at the beginning of December and then other things got in the way.....eg Christmas, birth of a new grandson... wow!
I realized I only had a day left for the challenge for White with One and I wanted to finish the page because I loved this photo so much. The enchantment of christmas. So one very late night later and  here it is. Firstly the main challenge was what colour is paloma. A bit of research and I hope it meets the criterea. Also the page needed to focus on the photo and I found this beautiful page for the background from the Websters collection All That Glitters and bingo it also gave me the title for the page.

Happy Scrapping.

Sweet Oranges

The Christmas rush is over. It was a lovely time to catch up with family. To watch the delight and joy of the grandchildren opening their presents. Now I am having a lovely lazy day finishing a page that I started a week or so ago. When our oranges were ripe on the tree Chloe thoroughly enjoyed the sweetness and the juicieness. It was a great crop of fruit.These photo's show the intense concentration and enjoyment. so I used them for the Stuck?!Sketches challenge.

 

Happy Scrapping.

Go You Good Thing!

The girls at Stuck Sketches have a great sketch challenge with multiple photo's. I love these because I so often don't use photo's that complete a story because I am focussing on one photo...the really great one that you love and that has turned out perfect. This is my selection for this challenge. My daughter and friends at the races.

 

I hope you enjoy my page.Happy scrapping.

Scrapping with the Stars Retreat

Isn't it amazing how long it seems to take when you are waiting for an exciting event to happen and then a week later it is done and dusted so quickly.
Thank you Stacey and Karen for a wonderful retreat at Phillip Island Resort. Classes by some talented teachers with projects to really stretch our capabilities and just chatting and looking at the wonderful work some  amazing people have done. The opportunity to just be immersed in a cocoon of scrapping without outside distractions.......although we did hear the roar of the V8 supercars faintly in the distance.....was a fabulous experience. Some peple travelled long distances to participate..  South Australia,Queensland, Tasmania, New South Wales etc.

Once again Stacey and Karen from Scrapping with the Stars, Thank you and cheers  and I hope to be there again next year rekindling new aquaintances and catching up with old friends.

Also can't forget to mention Peta who was MC extroardinaire, our fabulous musical entertainer, teller of jokes...the mention of a urinal will have me in stitches for a long time to come, I am actually chuckling as I write this....you had to be there..... and just general good person who tied it all together.





Cheers to all who went and had a good time.

Scrapbookit. Tic Tac Toe

Wow. I'm Getting this challenge in at the last minute. Scrapbookit had a Tic Tac Toe for their challenge this month. I haven't done this type of challenge before.My selection was teal, journalling and flowers. I love putting flowers on a page but really struggle with journalling. So I set myself the challenge. The colour chosen.... Teal...was very pretty and the flowers really set it off. In my backgroung I texture pasted and spritzed to bring it together. To lift the photo from the background I ruled double lines around a couple of the edges in the teal colour.

 

 

I hope you enjoy my page.

Happy Scrapping.  Heather B.

100% Fun

This page is  for Creative Scrappers challenge number 270. I started it quite a while ago but work and family got in the way of a finish. Today I have a day off and the weather is so ferocious out side that it is a good excuse to have to not go anywhere. I have a little garden outside the window of my scrap room and the pansies are getting a good dousing of rain.I love the rain on the roof and being inside and cosy.
The photo's on this page were a lovely collection from when Chloe and family had a day at the beach. She is a real beach babe. She just loves it.
I have chosen paper from the Wild rose studio called Annabelles Garden. I have added butterflies and bling.

I think my photography of my page could improve but on a dim day this was the best I could manage.
I hpe you enjoy my page.
