TIMELESS BEAUTY

So blessed am I to be surrounded by such beauty, in the form of my friends children.  Tamryn just shy of six years old, is an absolute doll.  It is such a honour to photograph and spend time with such a beautiful child.

THESE BOOTS...

... are made for taking awesome photographs and creating decadent scrapbook layouts!!!

My little friend Mikayla recently had her ninth birthday and when browsing the shops for the perfect gift for her, I saw these awesome boots at Woolworths.  Of course before she received them I had snap some shots of them and then convince her to let me do a photoshoot with her.

Watch this space for the layout...

CHANGE THE WORLD - A.R.K.

Many would think what a crazy statement or question.  I am one person in a world of billions of people, with authorities and governments, that make things impossible for one person to change.  

Everyone has the power to make a change and it can start with you by 'ACTS OF RANDOM KINDNESS'.

I entered a design competition for Enmarc Crafts and was inspired by the photographs that I had taken of a little kitten about 3 years ago, that was found by some school children, who found it trapped under some rubble.  That very day the kitten got a loving home and it's little world was changed forever.

The Basic Grey Plumeria range of paper and Enmarc Crafts swirls were used for this layout.

WONDER (DANDYLION)

I created this layout with the Prima Pixie Glen range of paper and there is so many elements on the papers which I cut out to use to create dimension.  The photographs are of a dandylion in my garden which I photographed sometime ago.  The illusion of the dandylion being blown by the wind was created with the OLBA tiny punches, treated to a bit of bling and stuck down at the base and bent up to create the illusion of movement.

The beautiful poem on the RHS of the layout goes like this:

I have a vision where all people are at peace, fed and housed,
Every child is loved and educated to develop their talents,
Where the heart is more important than the head and wisdom is revered over riches.

In this world justice, equality and fairness rule.

Nature is honoured, so that the waters flow pure and clear and the air is fresh and clean.

Plants and trees are nurtured and all animals are respected and treated with kindness.

Happiness and laughter prevail and humans walk hand in hand with angels.

Thank you for the love, understanding, wisdom, courage and humility to do my part to spread the light.

May all the world ascend.

So be it.
