Beautiful

Hello friends....

It has been way too long....I have been really quiet on the scrapping front, just usual Tuesday Therapy sessions, and then a Project Life catchup a couple of evenings a week.

I do have some exciting news, I was invited by Creative Hands Dubai to instruct a beginners Scrapbooking Workshop at Zayed University last Tuesday.  It was such an honor and and an amazing experience :D  The University is so amazing and filled with such lovely friendly ladies :D

While in South Africa (home) during the summer, I was given a picture by my mom.  It is a picture of her, as a bridesmaid at her sisters wedding in 1952, she was 15 years old.  I just couldn't believe how much she looked like a disney princess....

I wanted to do something really special with the photograph, and was toying with making a really whimsical, fantasy, princess type page.  Well, that was all turned on it's head!!!  We were at our monthly crop at Creative Hands, and Annais was working on a page using some Maya Road chipboard die cuts.....I fell in love with the idea immediately.

This is the page I ended up doing......



I am currently working on a travel album from our epic summer vacation....It has been a long while since I have worked on an 8 x 8 album and to scrap multiple photos per page is totally outside of my comfort zone.... 

It is exercising my scrapping brain which is always fun :D

Be Inspired!!
