More Hawaii moments

Image
Scrapbook Challenges  has started a new year of challenges and this is a double layout I have completed. When I think of Hawaii some of the things I think about are beach, sun, sand, USA and I have tried to capture these in this layout. This was the layout, I changed the size of the photos.  I found the Bella paper called "Leaf" was just right for this.  I hope you agree. 

We are having a heatwave in Sydney

Today we are having heatwave conditions in Sydney, it is currently 43c at 5.18pm and it is hot, hot, hot. I found a cool part of my house out the back and created this page. Luckily no fires in my part of New South Wales and I hope that continues. I was inspired by a layout by Leanne Allinson in the magazine Scrapbooking with the experts No.2.   This photograph was taken on the balcony of our hotel in Waikiki.  I loved to sit and read my book or a magazine, look at the beach, or enjoy a sunset.  It was also a good viewing area for a Pearl Harbour 72nd anniversary parade on 7th December.  You can also see my double crown that sends hairdressers into a frenzy.  Oh, you have a double crown! No, you are the first to tell me!!!  I have heard this so many times. I have carried the relax theme and relaxed the edges of my cardstock, I sponged with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink and then "roughed up" with a wet cloth. Thank you Leanne for your inspiration....

Update

I have finally had to take a stance and I have had to enable "Moderate comments" as I have been getting too many JUNK comments on this blog.  I do not want any medication, handbags, shoes, etc or any other sundry things that junk mail publishers insist on sending to me. Happy New Year to all my readers and I look forward to sharing my creations with you this year. Margaret
