Soul Scrappers One Word Challenge

 Gidday! How is your day goin? Good I hope.. Well no complaints from me about the weather today, simply a stunning day.. cool but the sky is blue!!

I am just popping up my layout for the challenge over at Soul Scrappers on Facebook that is called One Word challenge and it is to use a letter and use a word starting with that letter as title for your layout..  and the letters this month are C, T or R.. and I chose the letter T for traveller and I have used a photo of my Daughter when she was in Tasmania travelling around last month..

I did some stamping on the back ground using travel themed stamps.. fussy cut some flowers and a little dot of liquid pearls for the centre.


lots of layers using travel themed papers..

 Hello there, I hope things are going well with you where ever you are.. It is freezin here!! BBRRR!! Middle of winter , and although I am sure other people get a colder winter than I, it sure is very chilly!!! The wood fire is going and that is very comforting!!

I have created a layout for this months Sketch for Soul Scrappers on Facebook and I have followed it closely.. I love a good sketch, it takes a lot of the thinking out of a layout.. just have to find a photo and papers!!! and the sketch looks like..

I did some embossing on the bunting and I like the look of the texture.. I forget to use the embossing folders I have.. mind you I dont have many!! but this script one is a fav..




I have fussy cut flowers from papers, cut some flowers from a die and also used some lace..


Dwell on the beauty of life..
