I have finally scrapped!!

With my little Etsy shop being so busy I have been making lots of creative kits and therefore many hours that I used to scrap in are now taken with creating kits and products.... but finally I scrapped at the Scrap Therapy Retreat in May

So here are some of my creations:

 My Mum
This was the evening of my 21st 
Mum is on the far left my brother (now 45) is in the front

 Reflection
This is a shot as sunset of my Son Matt
Looking over Adelaide CBD
 Opium Poppy
A shot taken by Matt at Lehmans Winery
Barossa Valley

 Our Visit
I am on the far right aged about 8 or 9
Ross in his grandfathers arms and Glenn is on the far left

 You are my love
Quirky, eccentric and lots of fun... gotta love this guy
Phil in a pose that he often uses with his DSLR

 Carefree
My Mum as she loved to be - by the water on a boat
Memories of how she was are harder now

 Concentration 
Phil writing cards at the amazing Pink Flamingo
This was so much fun using the colours in the photo


Then and Now
A bit of a reflective piece about how Christmas has changed for us all
And I wonder what Mum thinks of it all

Scrapping the hard stuff is quite cathartic I think - though it is sad too

Thanks for looking.... I am pleased to finally share something here
I will try not to be so slack in the months ahead.

Cheers
C
