Scrapaneers - September Champions
Hello all,
Each month at Scrapaneers, within the Champions membership, there is a fantastic release of techniques to learn, videos, a kit and usually some templates and/or styles. It's great value for the whole bundle and I am learning a heap! I love it!
This month, the focus is on paint and paint effects. When I do paper layouts, I love adding paint to my work and as such, want to add this same effect on my digital layouts. The kit this month is from Amanda Yi, 'You are fabulous'. Colourful, bright and happy:

Cloud 9
The photo is of my eldest daughter and myself. I wanted children since I was a child myself, so was over the moon when I finally had my first of what was to be three children. The photo was taken just over 9 years ago. It's hard to believe so much can happen within that time.

Hello all,
CSI have released their fortnightly challenge - #176 and I'm happy to say I'm a Special Investigator for this interesting challenge:

My layout:
the VIOLIN
I am slowly working my way through my family heritage photos. This photo is of my mother (although I'm sure she wouldn't like to be considered, 'heritage') and although it is a little blurred, I still love it because it's very meaningful to me.
I solved the case as so:
COLOURS: I used all the colours
EVIDENCE: music elements, animals, stitching, spiral notebook punch, flourishes.
TESTIMONY: Inspiration word: music
Journaling reads: This photo was taken in 1964 at the beginning of your university studies. You graduated with a Bachelor of Music. Here you are, holding a Guarneri violin, made in Italy in 1643. It was on loan to you for the duration of your studies from the Elder conservatorium, Adelaide. You were chosen amongst many to have the privilege.
To see more about the challenge and to check out the Design Team inspiration, please head HERE.
Wishing you all a happy day.:)

Thank you for looking.
Kraft + September Challenge
Hello Everyone,
I didn't realise, but Kraft+ accepts digital layouts. It's a 'Yay' from me who has been doing mainly digital this last year. The talented Em Stafrace is a guest on the site and came up with this fabulous sketch to follow as part of the challenge:

Seeing as I love triangles, and I'm happy they accept digital layouts, I ended up making two layouts for the challenge. However, I have to do two posts for them to be able to link up. So here is the first layout:
TODAY & NOW
The photo is of my eldest daughter. She was sitting around in our backyard tree when I brought my camera outside and took these candid shots.
The challenge is on all month, please go HERE for more details.

The following is a photo of my maternal grandmother when she was 19, and my grandfather in the background. The photo seems to be double exposed. I don't think the film was wound on properly, which is why there are two images on the one photo. I'm really enjoying delving into these old photos and thinking about my dear departed grandparents. I feel very fortunate to have access to these photos.
Music is your Passion
As it's a new release, and part of the Hatchery, there is a saving of 30-50% of the products for the next few days only.
For more information and inspiration, be sure to head over to the The Nifty Pixel blog.
Thanks for coming by. :)
