Australian Scrapbook Ideas (Teaghan & Nanna)

I was lucky enough to have a layout published in the latest Australian Scrapbook Ideas

Issue 21.  The layout is of my granddaughter and myself at around the same age and I think we have a very strong resemblance which is not so evident now but as little ones we looked alike.

There's lots of goodies on here that Belinda Scott gave me in a RAK.

A2Z:   Butterflies

Charms Creations:  Heavenly Heart

Purple Pumpkin:  Buttons

Kaisercraft:  Patterned Paper

Stampin' Up!:  Mini Butterfly Die

American Craft:  Alpha

Scraplift (Bruno's Garden)

I recently saw a layout a friend had done in a class and I loved it so much I had to scraplift and here it is. I've used some recent papers from Kaisercraft and also used their collectable dies cuts and some very old flowers from my stash.

The photo is another from Bruno's Garden at Marysville, Victoria, Australia and as you may remember from a previous post it was devastated by bush fires in 2009.  Bruno, family and friends worked hard to restore the garden to its former glory and enchantment as it was destroyed and some of the sculptures were damaged and burnt.  It's an amazing place to visit but if you can't get there click HERE  to find out more. 

A couple of older layouts.

I haven't anything to post for a challenge at the moment so I've chosen a couple of layouts I did a couple of years ago.

Bloglovin

Hi everyone, can someone tell me if we can see a list of who's following us on the new Bloglovin.  With Google Reader we could see the list and faces and had the ability to block people who didn't seem quite right.  I hope to hear from someone who is more savvy than me with bloglovin.  Thanks in advance.

Live the Dream (Scrap the Boys)

I love the layouts that Rachael creates and I tried to get the same feel with this layout of my eldest grandson for the challenge at Scrap the Boys July challenge.  It was to use a B/W headshot of the boy/man in your life.
