This Face, These Hands
It's Father's Day in Australia on Sunday. My darling Dad passed away 8 years ago but I wanted to honour him here today. This is a layout from the vault, made just a few days after his death. Scrapbooking really is my therapy and making pages of this gorgeous man helped me get through those first hard weeks without him. 
I don't have anything clever to teach you in terms of stamps, embellishments or whizz bang tools. My offering here is what I believe to be the foundation of any scrapbook page…

Big Kids
Our USA convention for Close To My Heart was held in Disneyland, California. A good friend and sister consultant, Mandy Ellery, travelled with me for the event. We added some time either side for fun. This page shows how brave we were going on the Tea Cups ride in Fantasyland. Neither of us like scary rides so we decided to be big kids and do all the tame rides. 
The newly released Paper Fundamentals are proving the perfect accompaniment for these photos. Their bright, shiny side adds some …
