A Lardhead Adventure
When my sister, Rhonda, and I were young our family's favourite TV show on Sunday Night was called, "Ask the Leyland Brothers" It screened between 1976 and 1980, covering 153 episodes. The series followed the Leyland brothers, Mike and Mal, who traveled across Australia and New Zealand in response to questions posed by viewers. Mike and Mal were slow talking Aussies who had awesome adventures with their wives and children.

Cornish Coastline
Mike and I have had a fabulous time travelling in Cornwall. It is such a pretty corner of the world.
This layout is one I adapted a little bit from the Wanderful WOTG kit. (G1088) Once again, we have taken far too many photos so I had to find a way to squeeze extras onto the page. Not shown in this photo are the Flip Flaps I will be adding to the layout at home. I'm really excited to have a pack of 15 3" x 4" Flip Flaps (Z3027)in our range now. I print most of my photos in this size and I …

Sweet and Simple Scrapbooking with PML Cards
Here's another quick and easy layout with the Picture My Life Scrapbook program.
Each of the 13 CTMH Picture My Life collections include 44 double sided 4"x6" cards; 78 double sided 3"x4" cards; 1 Designed cover sheet and 10 Memory Protectors. This is a sample of the cards in the Avonlea PML kit.
PML cards are designed to be used for pocket style scrapbooking but in today's post I've used a few on a traditional scrapbook page.

I've missed these faces!
YAY! Reunited with our gorgeous daughter and her boyfriend after 3 months apart. They have been having the time of their lives volunteering with a group called Soft Power Education in Uganda. We've followed their blog and chatted on Skype but it's just not the same as having a hug! I plan to make the most of my time with them over the next 2 weeks we have together. 
Here's those little journal box and travel log stamps again from the Wanderful WOTG kit. I added the cute heart cluster from t…
Bon Voyage
I am at a stage of life where so many of my friends or their young adult children are travelling. I often give a small gift before they depart and thought having a few Bon Voyage type cards would be useful. Here's my first one made with some scraps left over from my Wanderful pages.
The stamps on the card come from Here We Go (D1600) I just love that globe! To create a 3D look I cut out the globe and daubed the edges. I also added a little daubing on the card base at the points the globe wou…

Who's the boss?
When travelling in a hire car in a foreign country, do you have trouble deciding who is the boss? Is it the navigator or the driver? You know what I'm saying here, don't you? After several trips I have figured out the answer - the GPS Girl is the boss! I just tell her where we want to end up and she bosses Mike endlessly throughout the drive. "Perform a U-turn when safe to do so"; "Make a left hand turn in 400m"; "Re-calibrating route". I love her! I have named this GPS girl Sally Seasi…
Hip Pics Albums
My mum lives in an aged care facility. She has dementia. Mum has always loved little albums filled with photos of our family. They help her remember who we all are. One other benefit I've discovered is that they help staff to know a bit about the person mum is and the family she belongs to. In the past I used Creative Memories paper albums but they don't exist anymore. I'm thrilled to have discovered the Close To My Heart Hip Pics albums (Z1956) do the job perfectly.

This Face, These Hands
It's Father's Day in Australia on Sunday. My darling Dad passed away 8 years ago but I wanted to honour him here today. This is a layout from the vault, made just a few days after his death. Scrapbooking really is my therapy and making pages of this gorgeous man helped me get through those first hard weeks without him. 
I don't have anything clever to teach you in terms of stamps, embellishments or whizz bang tools. My offering here is what I believe to be the foundation of any scrapbook page…
