August YOUrself ...

 Playing along with Challenge YOUrself this month with their theme of Dressed to Impress.


I don't get a lot of opportunity to dress up these days but when we went on a Christmas cruise a few years ago formal night let us get dolled up.  Don't think I have worn this dress since to be honest.  Might be time for another cruise so I can give it a whirl again.


As this was Christmas and we were standing in front of one of the Christmas trees scattered around the ship I used the standard red, green and gold festive colours and embellishments after adding some gold spray ink to my base page.

A happy place ...

Playing along with Challenge YOUrself this month where we have been asked to scrap about our happy place.

Since my husband has retired we have spent a lot of time visiting local cafes and coffee destinations around where we live on the coast, enjoying some quiet time together - this truly is my happy place.

SOS in April ...

 Playing along with the April challenge on Scrap Our Stash.


And here is my interpretation, closely following the provided sketch and incorporating flowers in the patterned paper and on the page.


A page for an ongoing travel album - such a tranquil spot in the west coast of Tasmania.

Challenge Yourself for March ...

 Playing along with Challenge Yourself for their March challenge where it is all about YOU and Sport.

I have taken the opportunity to scrap a travel sports related adventure from my younger years.  This story has been a long time in the making so super pleased I have finally documented it.
