Another Freaking Scrappin Challenge ~ My Happy Place

Afternoon on this lovely day. The Challenge over at Another Freaking Scrapping Challenge http://another-freaking-scrappy-challenge.blogspot.com.au/ is to scrap about your passion, I am just scraping this one in. Besides my Family and scrapping of course, my passion is travel ( just wish I was wealthy to fund it ) But Oh well I am so very grateful for the places I have been and seen and the people I met along the way.
This photo was taken in Tuscany, beauty everywhere you look, seriously gorgeous.
When I started this yesterday it just wasn't working , my photo wasn't the star and no matter what I did I was not happy , until...... I changed the Pattern Paper, as soon as I put it on this Pickle Pear Range it just popped

The button is from a piece of cake http://www.apieceofcakedesigns.com.au/ , they have a range of gorgeous buttons and kits, so have a peek.
I stamped around the photo as well

The chippy vine is Kaiser that I embossed red to pick up the geraniums . Vine and PP is from Marally Craft http://marallycraft.blogspot.com.au/

Chevron Stamp from Scrapfriends , the chippy frame is from Scrapmatts http://scrapmatts.ning.com/ 
Little camera is Pinkpaislee cut out from the Unbelievable range

So after a lot of changing and shifting , I think I am happy with it .

And then I used the original Paper that I had as the base on another layout ( well I had to use It ) 

This is a pic of my hubby, cute little guy isn't he :)

Lots of misting, inking and washi tape 

Thanks for calling, please say Hi and don't forget the challenge at Orange Paperie , we would love your support http://orangepaperieandco.blogspot.com.au/
