Some challenges to share ...

The NCJS group had its monthly Cybercrop two weekends ago and I finally had the opportunity to get some scrapping in (even with a trip to the country on the Saturday!)

This one is a double page using more than 5 photos. Keeping it simple and uncluttered was my goal.


This layout is based on a monotone design - the photograph of my Great-Grandfather is in beige tones so I decided to keep with that colour in different shades.



I thought I'd save time and do a Digi Layout - not as simple as I thought. This one took me about 2 1/2 hours (I did lose my work once when Photoshop crashed!) It was a bit of a play - not quite turning out as I imagined but I learnt some more things along the way.


Till next time ...

Netball, Dancing Queens, Ferris Wheel, Aquarium and Disney on Ice ....

Nearly one month has passed and I have not added anything here in that time! Creative pursuits have been in very short supply, everything (and everyone) else seems to be taking over my time. But I have managed to enjoy myself with some fun times during the holidays - yes it's the second week of the school holidays in Victoria and there seems to be kids everywhere!

The first weekend started with Grace's Netball Grand Final - her second Premiership in two seasons! Quite an achievement and she played very well.


Ella and Sophie came to Melbourne to spend some time with me and here are some photos of the things we got up to -

Dancing in Federation Square ...


The Ferris Wheel at Birrarung Marr...


Cool fun on the Cup & Saucer Ride by the river...


Feeding fish at the Aquarium ...


The penguins were a big hit ...


And watching them swim was soooooo funny!

They loved 'Disney on Ice - Princess Wishes'


By Saturday, I was totally exhausted and had a Nanna Nap on the couch in the afternoon. They are already planning their next trip to Melbourne!

Till next time ...
