About Me
Middle-aged teenager, mom to a poodle-terrier and a ginger cat. Art historian and educator, I spent 15 years teaching in various countries around the world, but now I have retired to an old farm in Germany, which I will be busy restoring and renovating for the next 20 years or more, no doubt. When I need a break from that, I practice at digital scrapbooking with GIMP, mostly because it is free and due to the house, all hobbies have to be for the foreseeable future!
Type of Project
Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
For this flash challenge I worked backwards from my usual inspiration - I searched my stash for kits (many that I had forgot I even had!) that had gold in the palette, and then found a photo to go with the chosen elements. This one shows me at the bay on Mallorca in 2012. With Love (from Elif Sahin's Ramadan elements, also the gold flowers) refers to the fact that my husband organised this last-minute mini-vacation for us after a really hard year with my health. Btw, this is the first ever layout I have uploaded here - I taught myself how to digi scrapbook this year, with lots of help. The rest of the elements are from You Make Me Smile by ElleDesigns. Font is Poodle Lover Mittel.

Good to see you back here, Teddy-thanks for all the encouraging comments - and the assistance!
Yay! You're uploading layouts :) Now I get to see your beautiful work too. (it only took me a month to notice . . . can you tell I haven't been scrapbooking much).
Thank you, Patricia!
love all the different paperstrips behind your photo!
No need to be unsure. The colors and patterns create both interest and harmony at the same time! Lovely :)
Thanks Elise. I am actually still unsure about this one, or growing unsure. I took a leap from my usual, safer style and rushed to get it done in time for the challenge. So thanks for the support!
Beautiful! Love all the papers! :)
Thanks, ladies. It really helps to get encouragement when you are just starting out.
i love that you placed your title on the photo
This page is beautiful, Susannah. I love the paper layers, all the different patterns and your flower placement. Looking forward to seeing more of your layouts.
