REMEMBER 
 I decided to go with the monochromatic hues in the palette
and make the red and green pop with the blooms.

EVIDENCE
Stars, circle, distressing, something transparent, metal, greenery.
TESTIMONY
While travelling in the South Island New Zealand.
We stayed at this gorgeous coach house at a place 
named Dansey's Pass.
Sigh ! such wonderful memories of our holiday in New Zealand.
 Winter is a time which reminds me that nature is still very much in control.
(This section is written on the back of my LO )
Winter is a time to reflect , a time for hibernation from life's distraction.
Fireside gatherings, toast from the burning embers and a mug of something warm and nourishing.
The beanie, scarf, coat and woolly socks.
are all things that say winter to me x

thanks for popping by and I hope you have time to play with this case .
until next time

'WINTER DELIGHT' 



My journaling is hidden on the tags

TESTIMONY
I JOURNALED ABOUT A WNTER HOLIDAY
The journaling is hidden on my tags .
Winter. I love to explore wintery places.
This shot was taken in New Zealand , situated at the bottom of the South Island. 
Walking outside, breathing in the cool air of winter is peaceful and serene. 
The soft, mossy green , rolling hills , look so dreamy to me and the dewy shadows that never dry out, hide the fascinating world of small insects, living in the heavy undergrowth .
After our walk in the crisp, cold air, we arrived back at out B&B
 to a roaring log fire , a bowl of hot hearty soup with garlic bread and a glass of red wine.  sigh xoxo

thanks for popping by and please go over to CSI ning site to be inspired.

The Fabulous, amazing, creative talent, Emma Stafrace 
has put together these amazing new PD sketches for Christmas 
thanks so much for inviting me Em .

here is some of what Em has to say .......

2013 
Christmas Cheer Release.
...let us know what Christmas means to you!
If you would like to have the 2013 Sketch collection in your stash I have created a Freebie Kit as a gift to you which includes the jpegs, and editable .tiff and .psd files so everyone can enjoy them. 

for more info  




I chose PD5 and I flipped the sketch 

'Christmas Gifts' 

Christmas to me is all about spending time together . 
I love to see children wrapping gifts and learning about giving and receiving .
When my children were young , they would make handmade cards
 and we would spend happy times 
in the kitchen cooking up Christmas cookies and yummies. 
wrap them beautifully.
Then we would walk around the neighbourhood delivering our Christmas cheer .
I treasure these times with all my heart

  


I love this Prima Christmas paper, which I have combined with the delightful Maja designs papers
 I love to use pink for Christmas pages 
and this is perfect with Black and white holly leaves printed against the deep pink . 
hope you will pop over to Page Drafts 
and join in the fun
thanks Em for all your wonderful inspiring work.
until next time 
happy days and bless you all

Case file #101 .... is ready to solve

This week over at CSI 
The palette is my kinda colors .
CLICK HERE 
to see more info 
here is the divine Case file #101

How I solved the case 


'DAYS TO REMEMBER' 





EVIDENCE
Frames, something dangling, circles, something shiny, twigs, ovals. 
TESTIMONY
We often go for Road trips along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. 
Wandering along the forest walks in the Otway ranges 
We came across this glorious piece of fungus created by Mother Nature. 
The dampness and atmosphere in the forest are the perfect combination
 for developing this magical formation attaching itself to the tall timber trees. 
The colors and formation are both rich and fascinating.
 thanks for popping by and I do hope you have some time to play at solving this case .
happy days to you all 
and thanks for leaving me some love x
