Adore


This is a second layout that Karen taught us at Ravy. It was a more detailed 3-D- Effects layout with more layering and took more time to complete. Karen said this was a good layout for a title page or to be framed!
I enjoyed completing this one.
The others girls and myself had a great day and look forward to the next Ravy Day!!!

Born To Be Wild

This layout and the other three below are 3-D Effects layouts that our little group from Condi completed at the Ravensthorpe Scrap Day! Four of us went over who included Dee, Emily, Kylie and Linda!
Karen Smith, our teacher, demonstrated some techniques for building our layout to achieve a 3D look using different mediums which added interest to the layouts!

We're Off To Ravy!

Three of us (Dee, Kylie and Linda) from our Condi Scrapping group are off to Ravy on Saturday for a day off scrapping! Karen has sent through our requirements and we are going to complete two "3D Effects" layouts. So we girls are busy organising the photos we need. Should be a good day! Watch this space for some samples of what we achieve

R.I.P. Donny


This is the second layout I scrapped recently, using up a few scraps. Our Uncle Donny passed away just before Christmas, a lovely man who will be sadly missed!

Christmas '08


Mietta in her santa bag! Haven't done much scrapping lately, but managed to do a couple of layouts while holidaying down at the Duke of Orleans Bay!

Mietta - Xmas Day


A recent photo and layout of Mietta on Christmas Day. A simple layout, but I quiet like it!

As Months Go By

As I haven't been scrapbooking for awhile I have completed a layout of Mietta over the past two months - a bit of a catch-up! She is growing up so fast!

Boxing Day at Christie's Beach


We spent Boxing Day with friends at Christie's Beach out near Munglinup.
I scrapbooked Daniel and his mate, Carl relaxing! Both got a bit sunburnt!!!


My own variation of Karens layout.. I have found this page set out very useful for scrap booking things that have more than one photo to tell the story.

I have done 4 layouts in 2 days using this design and I have another 2 in my head that will probably eventuate in the next day or so

My favourite version


Still using Karen Smiths pagemap. I think this one turned out the best

My garden


Same page layout different theme but used the stickers Karen sent me

My adorable Angel


I made this layout from a pagemap and papers supplies by Karen Smith

Australia Day

My third layout I did at the Ravy Day. These photos I'd had for awhile, so finally got to use them. We used fragment tiles, archival inks, alcohol inks and stamps as embellies!

All up we three girls (Dee, Kylie and me) that went over to Ravy had a great day!

Clever Annie

This is a layout using photos of Belinda's daughter Annie climbing a play gym which she did very cleverly! At first I had trouble trying to choose papers to complete the layout, but with Karen's help ("Scrappin Outback") we choose a range of papers from the Sassafras Seredipity 'Sunshine Lollipop' range. Papers I wouldn't usually use, but I think it turned out okay! Also used up some embellies and alphabets from the Hyden Retreat!

Second Birthday


One of the layouts I completed while over at the "Scrappin Outback" day at Ravy. It was one where you could use lots of photos up. Loved the butterfly theme, papers and embellies I used!

Ravy Day Trip

A small group of us from Condingup are off to Ravensthorpe tomorrow to attend Karen's "Scrappin Outback" day long classes. We are really looking forward to it and coming home with more inspiration and some new completed layouts!

Mietta


This is a recent photo of our grand-daughter Mietta, at three months old. Peacefully asleep! More scrapbooking material when I get some time to do it!

Summer Days


A layout I have just finished, one of Justine's Page Kits! My layout turned out a little different to Justine's example, but I think it looks okay!

I have only been Scrappin for about a year now I decided to enter two sections in this years show , with nothing to lose I patiently sat down and created these layouts and luck on my side it paid off I recieved
1st Double Page Layout -any theme
2nd Single or Double Page Layout-Focus on Esperance
I could not believe it as there was quite a few entries that were all so beautiful. I was as you can imagine on cloud nine for the next few days.
