Hello on this cold winters day in Australia, the good news is we got much needed rain, but gees its cold and windy brrrr
Today I would like to share the new challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge and this month it is all about circles
This is my eldest son when he was little with his Dad. I have added the photo onto layered circles.
I hope you can join us in the challenge, I am a fan of scrapping with circles and would love to see what you create.
Happy Creating
Love, Peace and Kindness

Hello Friends !
Today I would like to share a couple of layouts with you. Firstly a layout for the sketch challenge at Home and Scrapped.
Dare to Dream Big
The photo was taken by my son on his recent trip to Thailand . This is his second trip to volunteer at the Blue Sky School / orphanage, helping to build what is needed and help the children with school work and English. This is what he wrote about the photo.
"This is Piti in the rain. I bonded with Piti the most on this trip. Most nights we would sit up reading from a tattered Old English Book... she has a thirst for knowledge that is inspiring. She would give me a piece of paper and make me write about my day, and then she'd bravely attempt to read it back to me . It was the greatest.
Rain Or Shine Flair is from Funky Flair Studio
The next layout is for the challenge at Sketchy boards
My daughter and Scruffy when they were both youngsters. Flair is from Funky Flair Studio. I do seem to have a bit of a thing for flairs.
I hope your weekend is a good one
Love, Peace and Kindness

Hello popping in to share my DT layout for A2Z Scraplets . I was thrilled to receive the "Autumn Leaves" chipboard piece as the town I live in is called the colour city and is simply beautiful in Autumn and the Chipboard encouraged me to scrap one of my Autumn photos
This is the next street down from my house.
For a description on how I treated the chipboard pop over to A2Z Scraplets blog where also you will find a link to the Autumn Leaves chipboard piece.
The flair is from Funky Flair Studio , the large leaves are from the cheap shop and the gold braid is from my Mum's stash . The 6" Bo Bunny pad which just happens to be called "Autumn Song Collection" could not be more perfect :)
Thank you for calling by, nearly Friday Yay! its been a bit of a long week, so looking forward to the weekend.
Love, Peace and Kindness

Good Evening !
I would like to share with you my DT layout for A2Z Scraplets , using the "Life"chipboard piece
This photo just says Sadness to me , it was taken not long after my Husband , his sister and little brother's Mum had passed away.
I checked with my Sister in law if she was OK with me sharing the layout, she was fine with me to do so . After 48 years the emotions are still all there and the layout made her cry, so my journalling is true.
The quote above is also true. They were all very young 15, 13 and 6 and it certainly changed the course of their lives & life was not easy for them. My sister in law at 13 became the mother (as their Dad was a rep and was away a lot) so Sandra, cooked , cleaned washed and got her little brother to school, sport etc . They all have beautiful families of their own now and their Mum would be so proud of them all .
I document these things so as the Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren will know the story of Teresa ,their heritage and Their Mum and Dads Life.
The Flair is from Funky flair Studio and You can find the link to the "Life" Chipboard over at A2Z Scraplets blog post .
We would love you to visit the blog as the DT create lots of inspiration on ways to use the chipboard .
Thank you for calling by, have a wonderful week and remember to take care of each other.
Love, Peace and Kindness

Good Afternoon!
Today I would like to share my take on the challenge at Scrapbookit . It is always good to get the Christmas Stash out and put it to use, not to mention making a dent in the zillion Christmas Photo's to catch up on scrapping.
The challenge is ~ Christmas Theme
Sketch
and to use the letter "C' three ways on your layout
The sketch
and this is my take
I have used a "C" flair for Christmas, the word Christmas on my layout and A Christmas tree for my three "C's
Thank You for calling by and I hope your weekend is a good one, it is suppose to be really cold here. I heard the word Snow thrown around today, anyone that knows me will know that I don't do winter well :( Good for staying inside and scrapping though :)
This time a couple of years ago we did have a good fall of snow, pretty....... but .....
Love, Peace and Kindness
