Enjoy Life

Yay for the new camera that arrived today!! My husband is an IT/electrical geek so he researched what was the best camera for us, and then promptly ordered it online so as to get the best deal. And it only took a couple of days to get to us from Sydney. We were very surprised and extremely excited to hear the postman ring the doorbell this morning.

This layout was sitting on my desk from when I finished it last night, so it was the first to photograph, to test out the capabilities and functions of my new toy :-)

I put this layout together using a Pagemaps sketch from the current challenge running at Aussie Scrap Source.

Now for the best bit... check out these beautiful close-up shots of the details. 

Lots and lots of Sassafras Paper Whimsies, and some cute little Jenni Bowlin butterflies. I was breaking into my Summer Camp kit from Studio Calico..... and loving it!!

I glittered that bird to within an inch of it's life. I just adore my Martha Stewart glitters at the moment :-)

I wanted the whole look of the page to be bright and fun and whimsical because that's how I feel when I look at this photo. Yes, that is a photo of me as a 6 year-old with perhaps the biggest can of Coke you've ever seen, although I do seem to remember that it was made of foam. And to come up with a title for the layout I simply Googled past Coke slogans to find one that would fit :-) I broke a cardinal rule of scrapbooking though..... I used an original photograph. But the way I figure it, this photo has been sitting around in various places for the past 20 years, certainly not in archival conditions, and now it's finally getting some love and attention that it deserves.
