Passionate About Pages
Artiste Butterflies
Perth has an urban orchard, right in the heart of the city. Raised beds showcase herbs, vegetables and fruit trees. It's right beside the art gallery and we always take a wander through this garden when we are visiting this part of the city. Mike is a keen gardener and we both love the colour and texture that comes from food producing plants. We love photographing everyday stuff like this - it will be a 'snapshot in time' for our grandkids.

Cityscape
I bought the Cityscape Stamp Set (C1563) with these photos in mind and I am thrilled with the way the page turned out. We were having one of our 'Tourist in our own town' days and exploring the newly opened Brookfield Plaza. I wanted a very simple layout as the photos had lots of detail within them.
The NEW Paper Fundamentals Basics Assortment (Z1939) was perfect for the pages. This set features double sided papers that are embossed and shiny on one side and 2 toned on the other. I'm on my se…

Balloon Ride WOTG
Today's pages were created by my daughter, Kathryn. She is a no frills scrapbooker. Her pages need to have lots of room for photos and there is always a long story to be written.
The layout featured in the Balloon Ride Workshop on the Go Kit suited her style perfectly.
Aussie themed gift wrap
My husband is re-turning 21 tomorrow. Seems like only yesterday he returned 21 last year! I am excited to celebrate with him and our family but I'm also excited to have a reason to play with my NEW stamp set, Hoppy Birthday (D1597). This is one of 5 sets of stamps released EXCLUSIVELY for Australia and New Zealand by Close To My Heart. You can view all 5 sets by clicking here.

Flower Pot Card
Enjoy the Little Things! What a great motto for life. We are surrounded by so many beautiful blooms in gardens and parks at the moment and this stamp set reminds me of that.
A few years ago, someone clever made a flower pot card at one of my workshops and I always planned to do one but never got around to it. I have a friend who is going through a tough time at the moment and thought this little card may brighten her day.
It didn't take long to make. I watched a video that gave me all the in…

Wild Things
My baby sister turned 50 last year and a celebration at the zoo was planned. It's her favourite place to go. Unfortunately, the forecast was for rain all day so we relocated the event to my house. We wanted her to feel like she was at the zoo, so pulled out all the stuffed animals and cushions with animal motifs to scatter about! Gathering our adult children together is never easy and one was missing but we took the family photo regardless. A snapshot in time.

English Markets
There is something about fresh produce markets that just draws Mike and I in. We love the smells, the colours, the banter of the stall holders and the opportunity to see foods we haven't experienced before. The English Markets in Cork did not disappoint. We went back a second time too! The cold meats, cheeses and marinated mushrooms were delicious - we enjoyed a beautiful picnic back in our B&B (because it was raining again) and washed our treats down with some bubbles.

HIgh Tea
I just love the way new ideas you happen upon so often fit with photos you are ready to scrapbook. A cute folded dress card was shared on Facebook and I thought, "That's nice but I have nothing to use it for" and scrolled on past. Then I found my daughter's High Tea photos and thought of this card. Fortunately for me, a colleague showed me how to make it. We found a template on Pinterest. (I've made it the cover photo for my Cards board on my Pinterest page if you want to download it.)
