But first things first....I have some amazing, super duper exciting news to share!
Something I've been keeping a secret for, for months...but I can now reveal what my news is.
I WILL BE JOINING THE SCRAPBOOKING MEMORIES (AUSTRALIA'S BIGGEST SCRAPPING MAGAZINE) CREATIVE TEAM FOR 2014!!!!! I am still pinching myself about this one....I find it hard to believe that little ol me, the quiet achiever (as I've been called many times) has been given this amazing opportunity. So as of January you will start to see my articles in SBM....I can't wait!
Ok, on with my scrapping share :)
My layout is based on the Saturday sketch for Dec #1 over on the Kaisercraft blog.
Here is what I came up with....I've tried to achieve a bit of a vintagy feel to go with my photo....
All Kaisercraft products, bar a few pieces. Kaisercraft products are - papers from Key to my heart as well as diecuts from the Collections pack, wooden embellishments, paper blooms, lace, script stamp & bubbles template.
And here are a few close ups....
My main cluster
Title & journaling
Butterflies from the Collections pack
Pic is of my mum & 3 of her sisters (she is on the far right) around 1950...somewhere in Sydney.
I am still trying to find out the exact details, and will add any relevant journaling as it comes to hand (as I do like to tell the whole story...lol)
I am going to give the layout to my mum as part of her christmas present this year....I'm pretty sure she is going to love it <3
You can see my post over on the All About Scrapbooks blog HERE
including more details and a full list of products used.
Anyways...until next time, happy scrapping & have a great week xx
