I can't believe it's my 150th post on my humble little blog...hehe to think of all that procrastinating whether to set one up or not!!! I'm so thankful I did...it's opened up some lovely opportunities in the sharing of my work & I truely treasure the wonderful comments I receive from a very encouraging bunch of talented scrappers!!! I'm sure I'm not alone in being my own worst critic (hehe...it's seems an endless work in progress here), so it is brilliant to have that outside reassurance. Though the only critics that truely matter to me are my children...ultimately it is their stories that I'm trying to preserve for them & their children. Haha & we are talking waaaay down in the future, hehe I'm not ready to be a grandmother just yet!!! ;) Anyway...I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all that read & support me with my blog, it's greatly appreciated! :) Mwah!!!
Back to scrapping...with my CT work behind me, I've managed to scrap a little for myself :) I really wanted to have a play with my new Crafters Workshop template & these Pink Paislee papers I've had for a while...I was also totally inspired after taking these shots of my gorgeous girl. I loved these pics, sadly you can't see it here, but I've managed to capture the brilliant blue of her eyes...hehe love it!!!

Here's a close up of the dimension that I wanted to create. Haha I've been collecting cardboard out of everything lately ;) this was something that struck me when I was @ the Brisbane Expo & saw the entries for the 'Express Yourself' comp., the layering & dimension on the layouts. I'm a huge fan of Kerryn & she has an incredible knack of doing this, just wish I was able to replicate it! ;)
