New Life

I am really struggling with my scrapping lately. My mojo seems to have gone AWOL and when I do feel like scrapping, I'm not all that happy with what I end up with. :( I have tried using different techniques and different styles but they still don't seem to be 'me'.

I found this photo the other day when I was looking for something I hadn't scrapped yet. I took these photos over at our other property back in October last year - just when there were lots of little calves running around the place and new life everywhere. Luke found this baby plover when he was checking a pump, so he picked it up to bring it over and show the kids. I happened to have my camera and took some pics. I love how this cute little bird is sitting in Luke's 'farmer' hands. I have scrapped a layout that feels a bit like 'me' again.

I didn't have any white cardstock (shock horror!) so I pulled apart an old pizza box for my base. I've used some Bella Blvd papers and Pink Paislee alphas.

And a Gluber flower made using fabric and hessian.

In other news, I am going to be teaching my first ever class at this year's Little Scrapbook Shop retreat in Sydney at the end of this month!! I am so excited! (And a little nervous at the same time). I have just finished my sample page and a list of requirements is up in the forum for those who are attending.

Thanks for stopping by...
