Specials Blog Hop

 Hello and welcome to the CTMH Australasian Specials blog hop, if you arrived here from Lynda at the Scrapbooking Photographer  you are in the right place. If you arrived by chance, click on the link at the end of this post to go to the next blog.

We had the choice of the two current specials "Memory Lane" or "A Gnome For All Seasons" I decided on the Memory Lane collection for my projects. They are both gorgeous and will be a favourite with everyone.

The Memory Lane paper and sticker pack contains 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double sided designs and one sticker sheet with lots of lovely images and sentiments. The colours are all yummy and will go beautifully with just about any project.

Back in the 1980's my parents established a thriving avocado orchard from a 40 acre vacant block, they lived there for nearly twenty years but when it became too much for just them two to manage they decided to sell. They did not want to move back to the suburbs of Perth so they decided to buy a residential block in rural Muchea that's just an hour out of Perth. These are photos of their home it was  a lovely spot with large trees and wild flowers on the block.

I have used both sides of beautiful yellow paper and the sage green as a background for my photos. I have also used several stamps from my stash as decorations for my page.

When we first moved to Australia in the early 70's we rented for a number of months until our home was built. This is the house we lived in at that time. It was during winter and this house was so cold, there was a small fireplace in the lounge but it did not heat the house. Coming from the Bahamas we were not accustomed to the cold weather. Even though there was a garage at the back of the house, as you can see my dad and brother both parked on the front lawn.

Don't you just love this paper with the houses and trees! Once again I've used stamps from my stash and the lovely little journal box from the sticker sheet.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you found some inspiration in my projects. To see more ideas hop along to Danielle at Scrappy Chicks I am sure she has something wonderful to share.

Happy crafting!
