Hello there my friends .. thanks for popping by 
Thought I would post a few of my faves from last year .. 2015 
a mixture of layouts and OTP Projects .
every piece showcases Dusty Attic chipboard .


WARNING !!

I find it amazing at the end of each year when I collect 
my work and see how much I have created the twelve months. 
here are a few of my faves from 2015
hope you enjoy them .
LOVE THIS

I adore using mood boards in my work 
BEAUTY
 Memories of my childhood

SNAPSHOT
SEAGULLS fascinate me . 
Just the way they sit and view the world .
on the lookout for food and friends .
TRANQUILITY
 THIS STATUE sits happily in my garden.
My embellishments represent different elements living in my garden
lots of birds, foliage, texture, raised garden beds, time I spend each day 
lovingly tending to my blissful place .


BLISS
softness with pastels .

 OCEAN
I loved creating this textured BG ...
The pic is of one of the beaches we visited 
on one of our holidays to New Zealand.
what an amazing place ... so unspoiled and natural .
absolute Beauty. 
JOURNEY

DISCOVER

I love to fossick in little 'bric n brac' shops hidden away in the Adelaide Hills .
this one had some real treasures, with a slightly industrial design and feel to the building . 


MAY MY HEART BE KIND 
 AFFIRMATIONS, make up a large part of my daily life .


REMEMBER 
A TEXTURED BG with a monochromatic theme .


RUSTIC CANVAS
