Random Layouts

Hi Everyone

This is a double post today, with me just having posted the 'Focus on Friends' post.  It never rains but pours in my household!!

I started these three layouts 2 months ago at our last Midnight Madness!  They sat unfinished for a good few weeks, then I finally got organised and headed back to my studio and finished them. 

This photo was taken in 2006 when Adrian and I spent the Easter weekend down South (of Western Australia).  We stayed in a gorgeous chalet next to a lake in Pemberton, and every day we ventured somewhere different.  We drove down to Walpole to do the Tree Tops Walk, and although it was rather chilly, we had a super day.

I had only arrived in Australia the previous year so it was very exciting to be doing some local travel. 

My beautiful cousin, Lauren - I have been wanting to do a LO of her Year 12 ball for ages!  I had to beg and plead for some photos and this one is cropped from a group photo, and I just love it!  I didn't have to do much to this LO because the paper is so beautiful.  Please note the stunning little 3D butterflies.  I cut them from the paper and raised the wings (thanks for the tip Yolanda!).  To keep them raised and 3D I used some silicone glue.  

I sadly wasn't in Perth for Lauren's ball - I was back in SA waiting for my Permanent Residency Visa to come through.

And now the last LO is of my new home!  There isn't really much to explain about this but I bought it earlier this year and moved in on 5 July 2012.  It is wonderful having my own home to be able to decorate and renovate as I'd like to!  I have already had the interior painted and am about to have double glazing windows and sliding doors fitted.  Next year I plan to do a patio/pergola out back, which will really transform the house and make it fantastic for entertaining in summer.  Watch this space for renovation LO's!!

That's all folks!

Thanks for looking,

Angie xx
