Marika - light challenge
Farm Beach last night.
Ahhhhh now don't we all feel better!??? What a gorgeous sunset Marika. I can hear the waves and feel the cool breeze just looking at it!
Sandra's - ribbon bag
Hi Sue.
I am spreading myself around between you girls. lol. Sorry if I am hogging the blog. Where is everybody?? Today I made this little ribbon bag. I admired Tiff's at the mini retreat and then I came across this blog http://shopcropsuey.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html and found this little bag in Teagan's box of unwanted things destined for the garage sale we were going to have 3 years ago. So this bag cost me nothing! and it is amazing how much it holds!! ( I have another bag put aside for when my ribbon stash grows.)
Well cheers for now.
Sandra
Thanks for sending this thru for us all to see Sandra, very clever and you have it packed full by the looks!! Sorry for not posting it yesterday, had problems with my internet and then went off to work....
Hope everyone is keeping cool!

Tanya - light challenge
Hope you don't mind me entering the photo challenges!
Here is an entry for the 'light' challenge, it was taken in August (about the 13th I think) when we were heading back to camp after being at Wilpena Pound for the day, must've been nearly 7pm, as the sun was obviously setting. Luka needed a side of the road stop, and I saw this windmill in the distance, and due to having Tiff's bendy gorrilapod, I utilised the ultra slow shutter speed (infact I think I just did the 'sunset' mode on my camera), and wound the gorillapod onto the star picket and got this amazing picture. It's straight from the camera and I'm extremely impressed with the result!
Keep cool!!!
Cheers, Tanya

Sandra - colour challenge
Sandra has been experimental again (fantastic!) and come up with some cheap and easy colour mist! Think food colouring and water in a squirty bottle!
She has used it here on this colour challenge page with great success! For a darker effect just up the dye to water ratio!
This layout was inspired by some work by Katrine Elverum.
Really lovely and feminine Sandra. You have had a lovely scrappy day!!
Half your luck - my room is far too hot and i cannot be bothered moving into the air con!
Sue's sketch - Sandra`
"The men in the layout are Garry's Grandfather Tom, his Uncle Eddie and Garry himself.
Uncle Eddie passed away a couple of weeks ago, and he has been on my mind I suppose, and today being Remembrance Day this photo came to mind and I had the urge to scrap it.
I just love the proud look in Grandfather Tom's eyes as he poses with his son.
I used Sue's Sketch Challenge as a guide and it came together pretty quickly.
Love the red lettering in the title and the journaling with the little alphas. All the embellishments are perfect. And the crumpled effect to the paper suits the layout very well.
You really do the vintage layouts so well ... actually you do all aspects so damn well!!

Sandra - light photo challenge
Hi Amanda
LOVE this challenge, it has me looking at things in a whole new 'light' (groan I know that was sad, sorry!!)
I walked outside early this morning and spotted this calla (??) lily in the spotlight, so to speak. So, quickly ran inside and grabbed my camera and had a play :)
Well off to work.
Keep cool!
Cheers Sandra

Sue- light photo challenge
And this one too, the sun just easing over the rise of the hill. I was hoping like hell the snakes had all gone off to bed....with me crouching down in amongst the long grasses getting these shots!
A layout or two - Sue
This one is a scrap-lift from the very latest Scrapbooks etc magazine, a layout done by Lydia Jackson. I loved the different tree on her page...to me it was perfect to go with this picture of Rob and our kids & little ones. Photo taken by Amanda H.
This page came together easily, it was my 'Amanda Hall' style inspired page. This original photo has been sitting on my desk for ages, it has been a fav. of mine for years. Don't you just love the fashion that we are all wearing, and the old cars in the background? It's not a great photo with the blackend edges...but just had to use it!!
Thanks for your inspiration Amanda...love your work!

Tiff - light photo
my light photo challenge response. I have a couple more up my sleeve that I need to work on first.
a bit of PS magic to create lots of mood. In case you didnt work out what it is, its a figure 8 wire twitch used to fasten two lengths of wire on a fenceline.
cheers

wow at your photoshopping Tiff. Looks like the sun is really belting in there!
