Cute and Cranky Page

This page is of my youngest daughter Charlotte and shows her "cute" and "cranky" side.



For me scrapbooking isn't always about the perfect photos but those that show those true moments during our life. Life isn't perfect and neither are photos but this doesn't mean that they don't reflect an important time or emotion for US in our own lives.


Trust me if you knew my darling Charlotte at 2 y.o. you would understand the "cranky" photo. It's a bad photo no doubt about that, but I still loved scapping it because it was all about emotions and feelings of being a not- happy,  unco-operative and snappy 2 year old!

I gesso'd the whole page and then used texture paste, glimmer mist and paints on the background and then added some af my favourite  Green Tara flowers and  2 Crafty chippies. Was a fun page to do xx

Thanks

Scapbookers who inspire me

The pages that inspire me the most are by the uber-talented Gabrielle Pollaco. Her blog is "Such a Pretty Mess" and wowee this lady is AMAZING!! Stacks of tutorials, and if you love shabby-chic Gabrielle's blog and style is the way to go!

Living on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia, I am super fortunate to be able to visit " "Di's Scrapbooking Memories"  at the Entrance.This little shop is packed full of every product, paper and cardstock that a scrapper would ever want. Not only that,  the owner Di Garling and Jan Rankin are both Design Team Members on several teams and are right there to share their amazing talent.

I am getting a new camera next week so can't wait to start to post some photos of my work.

Nighty night all xx
