We Are Family




Welcome to my blog as always. I hope that all those who 
live in Victoria have been enjoying the cooler weather. I 
know that I have. I will be posting a few LO tonight that
I have done over the last couple of weeks. I have been 
spending as much time at the scrap desk as I can. It helps 
to keep my mind busy with all that has been happening
with my Mum. 

This LO I have created for the challenge at Berry71bleu  
and I had so much fun doing it. Mixed media, an area I 
have just started to dabble in and find it a lot of fun. I still
like my other work so much, but to do mixed media as well
is exciting to do.

I also combined it with the challenge at Scrap Friends
Challenge #22 is a color one and it also went perfect with
what I had planed for the photo of my girlfriend Mel's two 
children Jack and Meghan.


This is my take of the two challenges. I hope you like it.


I have done the journal on the back of the LO. The chippies are
all from Scraptopia. It is also my DT layout for Kylie at Scraptopia.
Title, lighthouse, anchor, shells, seagull, sea animals, they are all 
from Kylie.


Due to all the different things that I have used on the LO and how 
I have mixed them them together I thought it might be easier if I 
just list them all.The patterned paper (which is the plain blue) is by
American Crafters.
