This page is BEAUTIFUL!! Love the big red and white dotty paper and how you have left the side black for a bit of space. Stunning paper choices (gosh we are all totally in love with those Cosmo Cricket papers aren't we!!? They are so bright and cheerful you just have to love them!)

Sandra's - sketch challenge
Hi Sue!
FINALLY scrapped! I have had no mojo lately... the ideas are flowing, but just can't seem to get any scrapping done.Here is my layout for the sketch challenge.The photo is of the kids great grand parents arriving in Australia aboard the Barrabool in 1923.Tom is the second from the left, holding Uncle Eddie, next to him is Lucy with Aunt Hilda and Auntie Ethel is sitting on the left.The picture on the tag is of the Barrabool, which I found on the net.
Hopefully my next layout won't take as long!
hmmm pinwheels....
WhooHoo...Sandra's back!!! What this about no mojo, this page is just fantastic Sandra.....just love everything about it!! You do vintage so well and i particularily love the rope and the picture on the tag!! Arn't those old photos just so precious!!
Now waiting eargerly for your pinwheel page :)

Winning the B Grade grand final last year meant the world to you. After so many years playing you finally had a premiership! Right now you are 3rd on the ladder. It's in the palm of your hand. There for the taking. Inspire those boys of yours and grab it.
Wishing EVERYONE good luck in the footy/netball finals :)

fav. blog for photo inspiration
I just love looking at her blog - her photography is nothing short of amazing. I am always in awe of how she captures the feeling of the moment, you can almost see the love oozing from the pores in her family shoots. A real personality catching photographer.
Tara Whitney
I know she is a fav. also of Meredith so i apologize if i going over old ground again here!
this photo session in particular really makes my heart go thump. Absolutely everything about it i am in love with.
recently she has added another dimension to her talents by teaming up with another creative soul - Michael Sandy.
Tara does still shots and Michael does a short movie.
Here is one of my favourites - Emily Falconbridge who is a fellow Aussie and scrapbooker AND lucky friend of Tara's.
here are the stills and here is the movie. If it takes a while to load for you please be patient. IT IS SO WORTH IT. Don't give up on it. Watch and be awed.
I dont even know this family but felt quite emotional while watching the movie. Beautiful stuff.
I think the thing that i love the most about Tara's work is how inspired i feel after i see her images. Her work is colourful and natural - capturing perfectly the moment without any feeling of contrived, set up images. Just love it.
