PACK YOUR BAGS...

... and get yourself onboard the journey to complete your travel albums :-)

I have been honoured to create a layout with the new range of awesome paper aptly entitled around the world, and laser cutouts from Scrap Collections (www.scrapcollections.co.za).

This is quite an interactive page, ie the right hand side of the layout rotates to reveal four different photographs through the yellow circle.  The 'indexed' pocket on the left hand page contains additional space and cards for journalling, memrobellia, photographs, etc.

A BEAUTIFUL 21st GIFT

the inside of the His Master Voice Grammerphone album.

 My client Liz Monson approached me and asked for my assistance in creating something unusual and beautiful for her granddaughter's 21st birthday.   I suggested an old His Master's Voice Grammerphone record album - we went next door into the book / antique shop and voila.  Liz laboured many hours and I relished in the creativity that flooded my mind in this design.

DAY 7 - PHOTO CHALLENGE - HANDWRITING

There aren't many things as special as receiving a handwritten letter.  I am blessed to have letters that my paternal grandfather wrote to my grandmother during the Second World War.  They are so precious to me and make me long to have known my grandparents better.  I am in awe at the neatness and beauty of my grandfather's handwriting albeit that he might be writing in very bad light, in a trench, who knows what the conditions could have been like, but this did not deter him from writing to my grandmother EVERY DAY. 

Think about getting yourself a writing pad and beautiful pen and write to someone today...

DAY 6 - PHOTO CHALLENGE - PHOTO OF ME

... a photo of me ;-)

DAY 5 - PHOTO CHALLENGE - HEART

My heart (literally and figuratively) is on my porch which is my 'other happy place'.  It is a cement art piece and I photographed it on the arm of the chair of which the paint has been well weathered - just the way I like it :-)  I tend to surround myself with hearts, with love and I always find that I have place for one more...

PHOTO CHALLENGE DAY 4 - WHERE I WORK

... I work in an enviroment which is the most wonderful place on earth.
