and finally here is my layout for Scrap Jack, again based on the gorgeous work by Mel. The photo is of Zoe, being totally cute and cheeky, and I've used the new MME range of PP's.

RERT - We're off to Lake Argyle

Week 2 of the Red Earth Road Trip and we are off to Lake Argyle in WA. This layout is inspired by the pink diamonds mined there, so we had to create a layout with PINK, and the secret clue was 'bling'.
The layout is of my littlest great neice, Lyla.

3 MMM retreat.

What an amazing weekend. Here are the layouts that I created for the challenges set for us by Kylie and Miriam. The first is a challenge inspired by a quote on "madness". (3 MMM stood for Melbourne Midwinter Madscrappers)> The layout is of little Zoe, naked and sitting in a bucket - pretty mad I think.

The second challenge was a RAK challenge, where we had to describe a photo and our RAKers had to create a kit that matched. My RAKer was Alz, and she came up with the most perfect PP's and embellishments. I think it took all of 15 mins to put the layout together.
