Richard and I drove to Bathurst yesterday, had breakfast at the Acropole and then he took me to Skin Fantasy to have these tattoos done.

The black heart is the existing one that I had on my left wrist and I had added to it the two roses, red because my father liked red roses, black because it not only symbolises death but absence.












I had Carpe Diem put onto the inside of my right wrist as to me seems like a fantastic way to live your life and is something that i need to be reminded of.

March Challenge 7 Dots Studio

-

While looking for a project to do today while scrapping with my lovely friend Kim Ewins I came across the current  March Challenge at 7 Dots studio. The colours were just perfect for this pic of my gorgeous friend Vicky and I taken in August last year. I had purchased the beautiful Northern lights collection quite a while ago but had put off using it as it was too nice and I didn't want to waste it (who hasn't done that) but I held my breath and starting ripping and distressing. The colours were what drew me to the mood board more so than the theme.  I used some stunning flowers from 49 and Market, and a spray of crystal drops which again matched up with the board. Also added to the page were some yummy Scrapmatts leave sprays which I painted with a green mist. Thanks heaps for looking Cheers Annette

Kraft + February Challenge: Good Reads

I loved the challenge at Kraft +  Kraft + Good reads challenge and have just managed to get my page done and uploaded before it ended. I love to read and will read just about any genre as long as the book keeps me interested. The book that I have done this page on is a timeless Australian classic, Seven Little Australians by Ethel Turner. I remember reading this as a young teen and loved all the characters. I still to this day shed a tear when Judy dies. I never had a copy of the book but when I was in Katoomba one day I went to an antique shop that had a book section and found this copy. It is battered and well worn which didn't concern me but the thing I found surprising was on the inside cover there was an awarded to sticker. The book was awarded to Millie Carter, Mole Creek Methodist Church Sunday School, Year 7 1941, that makes this copy 78 years old!!!! It is a beautiful old book that is a great addition to my collection. I have used book pages on the page as well a

Kraft plus November Challenge

So the November Challenge at Kraft Plus is Think Big . While I had a few pics that I thought would work for this challenge I decided on this one of a beautiful and majestic tiger at Mogo Zoo. His eyes locked with mine as I was taking his picture and it was a very surreal moment, I felt as though he could see into my soul. I used a mix of pp for this page some old Kaiser basecoat, Prima timeless memories, 2 crafty chippies, hessian, old book paper. Behind the pic is some stencilling using TCW mini butterfly collage and of course a Big B which I embossed with Colour blast charcoal and then rubbed some orange paint over it. Thanks to the Kraft plus team for a great challenge. Cheers to all Annette
