New Layouts I've Done AND a Freebie!!

I've done a heap of layouts that I've not shared on the blog so I thought I'd just display them and then offer up my latest freebie which I promised a few days ago.  So here's the first layout - Done with Sharia Braxton's kit *Quiet Time*:

This is my friend Christine whom I went to visit in Uralla last month.  We were caught up in the classic "taking a picture of you while you're taking a picture of me* poses! It ended in giggles all around! I used a blur filter on the photo to make her *pop* and not get lost in the foliage of the photo.   I just love the colours in the layout!! 

Next up, a layout I did for the GDS May Progressive Challenge:

This is my Mom when she was about 8 months old and then 80 years later.  I used a combination of items from a kit called Forbidden Love by Holly Ann Schwartz and also a kit called Wind it Up by JJ Scrapping. 

This next layout I did for another challenge at GDS.  I think it's my favourite challenge! It's called *Pick Your Pallet* and we then post a 5 colour pallet and the photo we got the pallet from in the gallery and we are sent a grey scale mini kit.  We then recolour the mini kit with our pallet and post it in the gallery! Such fun!! Here's mine for May: 

Photo is from Deviant Art. 


This one I did for the Style Challenge at GDS.  It features my Uncle as a baby.  I used Andrea Gold's kit *Euphoria* and is available at GDS: 

I just love the colours in that kit!! Next up is a layout I did for another challenge, this time it was the Scraplift Challenge at GDS and I've used a kit by Z Pink Boudoir called *Birthday Poems* and it's available at *My Life and Scrap* 

My son Owen is so cute sitting on the pony! Now I have another layout I did this time for a Speed Scrap at *My Life and Scrap*.  I used another kit by Z Pink Boudoir called *Blue Heart*

This one features a photo of my Mom and me at the Chinese Gardens in Sydney when she visited Australia in 2004.  


NOW.. the freebie.  Today I have the cluster frame freebie I made with JKCreations kit *Milady*.  Enjoy!!

Busy Week - and More to Come!!

I can't believe it's the second week in June already!! Today I have to prepare for our camera club's committee meeting - the regular club meeting is next Monday! I also have to get a photo or two out for submission! This month's theme is *spiritual* which can mean a few things in terms of taking photos.  Hubby and I are going to decide which photos to use this week. (The club has a monthly contest and every month there is a different theme.) 

Anyway.. I promised you all a freebie today.. and so you shall it! Here's the preview with the link to follow:
