Happy National Scrapbook Day

And this is how the obsession started, a Creative Memories Workshop with a work friend and there was no turning back.  I was hooked right from the word go.  I still love this layout, even though I cringe at the design, because this was the start of my Creative Life. 

Scrapbooking has made me so many friends, taken me on so many adventures, broadend my horizons, given me strength at the lowest times of my life and been this constant companion for 10 years now.  I could not imagine my life without it. 
I hope you all take a moment today to create, play scrap or just reflect on how cool this amazing hobby/obsession/past time of ours is.
Happy Scrapbooking Day
Wishes you lots of Creative Energy
Hugs

Lest We Forget - ANZAC DAY 2009

They shall not grow old,
As we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning,
We will remember them

LEST WE FORGET

Fiskars Photo a Day - April 1 - 16

Hi Everyone,
I missed uploading photos for a week, so am playing catch up.  I thought I would just do a collage of all the photos to date.  I have been playing along, just did not get a chance to share.
Here are the first 16 days.

With Linda

Sharing a layout I created to celebrate my cousin Linda's visit earlier this year.
It was so very special to see her again after ages, she is so lovely and its always awesome hanging out with her.  I wish she did not live so far away on the other side of the world.

I used basic grey paper and gorgeous paper flowers from Cloud9/Fiskars.

Apr Photo a Day - 3 and 4

Day 3
A photo of my dh Duncan reading his favourite music magazine

Day 4
Yes another bag for my bag collection, its mulberry maroon sort of burgundy and made with cordroy type material, I love the butterfly and flower on the front.  I got this from a lady at a market today, who was from Callagnee and was a victim of the recent bushfires.  I talked to her for a while and could hear the trauma and distress in her voice.  I think she and her husband were so brave and had such a positive attitude and were determined to rebuild their lives.  Made me feel very privileged to buy this bag from them.

 

Us

Created using basic grey papers, fiskars letters and fiskars cloud 9 epoxy stickers
