Hi Shazza,
Only just finished my LO for June Challenge. Loved the criteria for this challenge. I just had some pics printed of my DD Brittany and thought this one with the tree in the background would be perfect. I have covered all the criteria. The tree with 3 falling leaves and 2 different coloured birds. Thanks for looking - Cathy

Hey Cathy! Another gorgeous 'Perfume Garden' inspired page, I love the die cut pp page you used and the birdcage is just divine. What a great tree. your daughter Brittany is a pretty girl :) love all of this, thanks for playing along this month. Cheers Shazza

Here's a double page layout entry from.......

Cecelia Blanco - Gone Fishing


Hello there Shazza and Dt members;0) I started this LO three days ago and was not sure if I was going to finish. For some reason my mojo was not working so nothing was clicking;0( But last night I guess I was in the "mood" and it all came together and all I can say is that I absolutely love this LO;0) These are my three children last year at my Mom and Dad's in Kansas fishing for the first time. My uncle has a lake in his backyard so my parents took them fishing and they each caught a small fish. They were so excited! I rarely do double Lo's but I saw the sketch on another blog and I wanted to keep the pictures together so I decided to do it;0) Sorry about not having birds:0( The only bird I have is a humming bird and it did not go with the theme of the Lo. Guess I need to invest...lol. Hope you all enjoy! - Cecelia

Cecelia,
Great double page layout, its come together beautifully :) How lucky to have an uncle who has a lake in his backyard. Some great photos of the kids fishing, I'm glad that each caught a fish! Thanks for joining in the challenge for the month, your mojo obviously kicked in and i'm happy that you got a chance to finish it off. Great work - Shazza

Judith Armstrong - If You Go Down To The Woods Today


Hi Shazza,
Here is my entry for June. I had great fun making the tree and all the leaves. Every year we go to Daylesford Botanical Gardens in Autumn to take photos of the leaves and of the kids. These photos are off Eleanor posing for us and being silly.
Regards Judith Armstrong

Hi Judith, I must say Daylesford is beautiful in the Autumn and I can understand making a trip there and getting some great photos. Love your handmade tree complete with rings :) and I love that you took the time to make your handmade leaves. Great photos and what an apt title. Love all of this - Shazza

Have a look at this gorgeous layout from another newbie......

Lisa Webb - Grow


Here is my take on your challenge.. Love the criteria like I said.
This is my gorgeous soul mate.. My 19 yr old daughter who left home 12 weeks ago. We are now 1400km away from each other and I cant stand it.. But thank god for this gorgeous obsession scrap booking... I can keep creating beautiful memories of her each and every day.
Thanks Shazza.

Thanks Lisa, your entry is just beautiful, love all your bits and pieces, as I said if you had of added a 'Drink me bottle' you could have entered it in FS2S's 'Alice in Wonderland' themed challenge this month. lol Love the ruled measurement up the l/h side of your page, just perfect for your title 'Grow'. I'm glad you have your scrapbooking to make more memories of your daughter. You have covered everything in this challenge and it has turned out stunning! - cheers
