I was rather impressed with myself managing to
get all my DT assignments completed before the
weekend which meant I had time to PLAY
yesterday and get this another layout done!
I really had a scrapbooking itch to scratch and
was looking for something EASY and APPEALING
- the stress-free variety of scrapbooking!
I had these lovely photos sitting on my desk and
realised that they would work perfectly with this
month's delightfully simple sketch from Purple Pumpkin.
*** I placed my first order with Purple Pumpkin a
couple of weeks ago but it hasn't yet arrived so I
couldn't include any Purple Pumpkin
yumminess on my page this time!***

I keep seeing all these gorgeous Fall layouts
online and, being in the Southern Hemisphere
it is not Fall for us here, but rather Spring.
I NEVER have any Fall photos to scrap
because we don't have any Autumn at all,
well not one with a noticeable change in the trees!
I am able to buy these beautiful skeleton leaves
locally and cheaply so I tried to create a
"Fall Looking" layout with a big cluster of them,
mixed together with a big bunch of flowers,
to indicate a "Bountiful Bouquet" to match my
youngest daughter's "BIG" personality!
Now that my printer is back I am now hooked
on hand-writing on my layouts :)
So I guess my printer breaking down was a Kismet
photos so I am still very happy to have it back!

This is just beautiful Helen! Awesome burst of colours! And I just love the cluster of blooms! :)
It is just beautiful. I love the mix of colors and papers. The flowers are divine and the first thing I noticed was the handwritten journaling and love how you have written over the gesso. Your hand writing is so lovely, forget about the printer for a lot longer.

Beautiful LO, Helen! I love how you brought autumn onto your page--that leaf cluster is amazing. Even if there is no autumn in South Africa, you can still have autumn in your heart. :)
Happy Page made me happy just to look at it! Love the gesso for giving you spots to journal and LOVE your lovely leaves!!! Thanks for some autumn from South Africa! Now, when we have snow, don't feel the need to do snow though....flowers are better! ;-)

This one's just like Cami - bursting with happy vibrancy! absolutely wonderful Helen! gosh what a glorious cluster of yumminess, really love all the skeleton leaves! Good girl getting some me-time yay! how boring it must be not to have all 4 seasons, I love to watch Mother Nature change clothes though I'm not too crazy to wake up on a February morning and the mercury says -23C in the kitchen window ... xoxoxo
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous! Love what you've done here....so pretty! That flower cluster is amazing!
Your daughter is so lucky that she'll have these LOs to look back on. If ever when she's older she's feeling low all she'll have to do is look at this and she'll see what a bright spark she was AND how much her mummy loved her.
LOVE those leaves.
Beautiful daughter, beautiful papers...gorgeous layout. I love the pink and yellow together.
It is always fun to play :). LOVE the gorgeous bright colour palette!
