BIRTHDAY FLOWERS ~ And some happy news

Hello 

Yesterday we had a lovely day as Susan McGuire a friend we met on the Boxx http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/ , travelled from Sydney to spend the weekend and scrap with us. The Boxx is the site where many of our online scrapbooking journeys began, and many friendships were made.  So we chatted, ate, ( Kim made her delish Pavlova) and scrapped. I was really pleased I actually got two layouts completed .
This layout I did for Scrapfriends Colour Challenge http://blog.scrapfriends.com.au/

When I firs saw the colour challenge I was thinking hmmmm, but the layout actually came together quite quickly and I was really pleased with it.


My brother from Melbourne sent these to Mum on her 95th Birthday


There are some little chocolate flowers under the blue flowers that don't show up in the photo

Had to mix some paints together to get the right colour to paint the raw chippies letters. Annette suggested that I emboss the letters, I liked that idea.

some perfect pearls dotted here there.
NOW..... My happy news :) I am now on the design team for Colormescrappy  http://color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com.au/
so I hope I see some of your fabulous layouts over there joining in the colour challenges.
oh and don't forget the current challenge at Orangepaperie http://orangepaperieandco.blogspot.com.au/ hope to see you there as well.
Back to work tomorrow, but have a fabulous week
Sunshine and Peace

Wow, you have worked these colours magically. You have made it look like an easy combination (and I think they were really hard). Gorgeous page.
