Melbourne Cup Day, and a share

Hi lovely people,

Yesterday was the race that stops a nation, which of course you would all know unless you live on the moon or under a mushroom, or perhaps are not from Australia, yep the Melbourne Cup. I was lucky enough to share the day with two gorgeous ladies Kim http://lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com/ and Annette http://annetteedmonds.blogspot.com/ We went around to Annette's did some scrapping (well I didn't do much as I was running late, surprise, suprise) We dressed up and wore handmade fasinators and had a lovely lunch , it was the best way to spend the day .

Annette looking gorgeous


and the gorgeous Kim

Now in the last post I said I would give you some sneak peeks of my layout for Scrapthatsong this month http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com/ ok here we go


cute little button from Lovelybug Bits N Bobs http://soupie75.blogspot.com/p/lovelybug-bits-n-bobs.html, Heidi Swap word sticker

Lots of layering, and of course Muslin ( Love the stuff)

But guess what! I can actually show you the whole layout , as the post has gone up over at http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com/ for the beginning of the new month , Yikes November already! Most of the girls have their song choices posted and the rest should be up by the end of the week, so pop over and see what the DT has come up with for their song choices, then we would  LOVE to see YOUR  interpretation's of the song you choose from the list.
My layout is a bit of fun, although the song could be powerful and deep, I took a lighter approach , as it is a pic of my crazy family at my Grandsons Super Hero party. Remember its how you interpret the song





I have used CratePaper Farmhouse collection, some Bo Bunny Ect Range left over pp, bakers twine.
Cant wait to see your take on the songs
Happy Scrapping
Mary x
