Hello

A little back story for this layout ~ the photo is from my husband's high school reunion. It was originally scheduled as a 40 year reunion, but was postponed numerous times due to pandemic travel restrictions. So, it became a 43 year reunion. I'm sharing this page at:

* Mystical Scrapbooks ~ April Colour challenge
Aqua + silver - I love this colour combo!

Elsie

I scrapped another page for my 1990's retro album. I've only got one picture of this gorgeous Golden Retriever "Elsie" who belonged to my future sister-in-law. Back in the 90's I lived on an island in the Whitsundays and there were no pets permitted, so I would get a 'dog fix' every time we visited friends or family on the mainland!

Hit the open road

This page was created for Scrapping Clearly ~ Palette Play: Vintage Charm

I was happy to use some silver/grey background paper that has been in my stash forever, which I think worked quite well for a road trip theme. I have a LOT of road trip scenery photos and it's fun to try different colour combos to add interest to my pages. For my title I used a pre-made cutfile from Scrapbook Fantasies, and backed it with paper scraps that matched the colour swatch.

This is a page for my 2021 Outback Queensland travel album, using up scraps of Kaisercraft and Vicki Boutin papers from my BLUE assortment of offcuts. The stars are coloured with Polar Blue VersaColor ink.

#3 ~ My challenge Select your colour of choice and use WHITE cardstock as your base. Select THREE shapes of your choice and use them for your page so they are the main elements on your page.

Windorah

I'm sharing this page at:

* Mystical Scrapbooks ~ March monthly challenge. Journalling + Nuvo Drops.
I used Sugared Almond and Duck Egg Blue. The first layer (Sugared Almond) lost dimension - I don't know why, but I'm wondering if it was because of the high humidity we've been experiencing here? The second layer held up a bit better, but I added those dots late at night, when it was cooler.
