Screen2Scrap: June 2012: Who killed Dr. Max.

Screen2Scrap's inspiration this month comes from the movie poster "Hairspray". The additional requirements include Bright colors, 10 squares and something hair related.
This layout tells the story of my recent work retreat, where we hosted a 'who killed...' plot over dinner. Each of my colleagues took their roles seriously, with some bad hair, very funny overacting and wonderful costumes. I played the role of forensic photographer, which gave me permission to take photographs all night.




Stuck Sketches June 2012: Love that car

I was on scrap retreat last weekend, and ended up doing 2 layouts that matched the Stuck?!Sketches sketch. This one is a story about my old car - sent off to gemini heaven after 363,000kms from new. She was one special car.




Stuck Sketches: June 2012: IRONMAN in training

I'm so proud of Leigh undertaking his first triathlon with his work mates as part of the 'corporate triathlon series'. He is such a wonderful athlete, I hope he continues to keep fit and compete in something. Papers are from Echo Park, 'A boy's life'.




Crafty Sketches: June 2012

Another old photo - of Aidan, taken in 1989 playing at Tumble Tots. A nice easy sketch using Echo Park 'A boy's life' papers.

Soul Scrappers SLC9 - "I care"

This was a tough challenge. Over at Soul, the monthly song/ lyric challenge was to take inspiration from the song Care - by Kid Rock. I was reminded of some photos I took in the US last year, of homeless and destitute people, living on the streets in San Francisco, and the struggle I have taking photos of these people. The journalling tells the story






Soul Scrappers - SC52 "Where's that mouse"

over at Soul the latest sketch challenge was a multi-photo challenge. I couldn't go past this series of our gorgeous Bridie, the ever patients mouse catcher. AT 12 1/2 years of age, she is still a puppy at heart and we love her dearly.



Soul Scrappers WC10 - Fun is Good

I'm a bit behind in updating my scrapping blog, so while it's been quiet here, I have been busy.
This layout was made for Soul Scrappers, using the word "FUN" for inspiration. I have so many photos of my youngest playing the clown it was hard to choose which photo (again a photo that is 22 years old!)
