Vintage Style

I have many lovely vintage photos of my parents and have of late

been doing an album again of them.. Here is a current one I just

completed a few days ago. My parents migrated to Australia

after WW11 and made a home for themselves and us.

49 & Market Enchanted Petals flowers, dotty stencil, DP and

stamping, along with lace and doily added.

Do you remember having a little three wheeler like
this one on the left?  Stamping, paints, stickers
and plastic technique for splats.

Number cut file minimized and cut on the
silhouette cameo. Stencil and texture past.

Love to do my scrap pages and with this one

I have used cut files cut on the silhouette

cameo, along with the frames. A bit of 

background spraying with dylusions,

builders tape and pearls as well.

a bit of lip- [py]

Nothing over the edge today just a simple
scrapbook page of days gone bye...
This is a fun challenge and alway inspiring.
A scrapbooking page of my grandson, from
years ago where he decided to play with my
lipstick while I was visiting him interstate.
Caught in the act?? One could only laugh
and give him a cuddle..

These are very old papers and I have no idea
who made these...stick on scrabble alphas
and a few bits n pieces from my stash

The best is yet to come....

 I couldn't resist making a page of Albert,
one of the pups visited yesterday. This is what my
Tahlia will look like, oh so cute.
You will see more when my girl is here.

I have so many paper pads, dies and stamps
and need to use them more rather than hoarding them,
in particular my papers.
I will never get to use them all.
Using:
Lemon Craft sweet secrets papers

[beautiful paper pack]

Stamps, tops for the circles, dies,
a bit of stitching and
flowers I made from foamiran.

 Monochromatic (can be any colour)

nature at it's best

On our way back from the beautiful journey
to Milford Sounds we travelled back to Queenstown,
 NZ, by boat viewing a lot of beautiful waterfalls
trees and a view to die for, this is one of them...
I am now scrapping all of these memories.
Come along and join it, you could also
be a winner like I was in the last
challenge, it's rewarding to
make our memories last.

Denarau Island

Made a scrap page yesterday of our holiday to Fiji and
can't believe it was in 2016.
Time for another holiday I am thinking....

Clear overlay, texture paste, gesso,

 DP,  stamping,
flower art and some stickers were added.
 The photo is where we stayed in
Fiji and a most beautiful resort and people.
This page is much brighter before photographing.
