Taking a look back!

Hey there, Hello!!!! Do you ever go back and look at your really old layouts and wonder how on earth you thought they were wonderful??? Well recently I have been and no suprises that some of the layous are 'DREADFUL!. So time to do some of my favourite photo's some justice - well at least I think so anyway.
My sleeping Angel -8 week old daughter Mackenna who now is 7.5yrs old.
 I love these elegent and romantic papers from the 'Prima ~ Fairy Belle collection'. I seem to have a soft spot for the colour Teal lately!

The next layout is my daughter again with my 9.5yr old son Tarquinn. She would have no hope of getting a kiss from him now!
This layout Features 'Twiddleybitz chipboard' coated in Rusting powder, Prima glitter leaves & flower and MM Eye paper. The layout will be on display at the Twiddleybitz stand at the Brisbane Craft/Scrapbooking Expo - June 9-11th.

Fast Approaching!

Hi There, I'm busy creaing for the 'BIGGEST' Scrapbooking event of the year, 'The Brisbane Scrapbooking Expo-Convention '. As the 9th June is fast approaching I thought I would share a couple of  'Sneak Peeks' of layouts I have created for the show.
This first one is almost finished...I'm struggling with a title at the moment....I will gladly take any suggestions, if you wish to leave one in a comment  ~ please do!
I really love the colours Teal and Turquoise and I couldn't resist adding a hint of my newest favourite embellishment ~ Prima Crystal bling. Love these Couture Creations Teal flowers they are just devine too!
 I'll be busy creating for the show this month and will have plenty of  'sneak Peaks' over the next coming weeks. Till next post. Thanks for dropping in! G!

A touch of April Romance.

Hi there, April brings out a touch more of my romantic side. I decided that after 11 years of marriage it might be time to take the pictures out of the old style album and scrap some!
This layout is to showcase the 'NEW' flowers from Green Tara.

Look at these stunning Tones of the Green Tara Flowers......... they are pure perfection! Having such beautiful new flowers and products sure does make it easy and a pleasure to create with.

Everytime I create I 'try' to dulge into the old stash. Not always so easy when such beautiful new products just keep appearing at my door - my postman so politely says 'Hi Geraldine...another parcel today'. Thankgod my husband doesn't hear that!!!


So for this one I managed to Combine the new as well as head for my older embellishmets and papers. Melissa Frances and Girls paperie paper, Basic Grey, Scrapmatts fern leaves, Prima trinkets and journal card, MME, Kaisercraft, Pink Paislee and Prairie Bird ribbon.


And as for my next scrapping resolution......'New' and the left overs combined will make a card!! Yes I also managed to create a card with the remainder of papers and embellishments that would of been added to the junk pile for me some other time (that never happens).


Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy your time here! G!
