Hello, hello and welcome to my blog.
Today, I'm sharing a DT layout for Scrap Africa.
The sketch was set by the talented Marta Lapkoska, one of our DT.
I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the right.
I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the right.
to see what the DT have created for your inspiration.
I was inspired by the bright flowers and chose photos I took in Bali.
I'm still on my quest to use my old stash so
the background paper is a very old Basic Grey, " Stella Ruby".
I kept the page very simple to allow the vibrant, tropical flowers to shine.
The alphas are Basic Grey too.
The black dots are made with Glimmer Glaze, one of my favourite products.
The green paper is a scrap of Sassafras Lass, "Luscious"
and the orange is possibly Echo Park.
The metal flowers are by Prima

The journalling is on the back of the page:-
Our family had gathered from around the world to celebrate the wedding of our middle son to his beautiful fiancee. Our gorgeous villa was at Seminyak and came with a shared living area as
well as individual mini Villas for each couple. What absolute luxury
to have meals provided by the chef whenever we were hungry. We had a blissful ten days in Indonesia, where the heat and humidity promotes lush growth and brilliant flowers; so different from the harsh, brown landscape I live in.
The wedding was held at the Villa, with local people providing the magnificent food. Oct 2008
wow wow wow !! love it Helen, brilliant x
ReplyDeleteLook at those gorgeous flowers... Beautiful work Helen the flourishes and blooms are the perfect accents to your layout. Such a special occasion, sounds like you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteFeels good to delve into the stash, create a layout and make it new again. xx
What a strikingly beautiful page Helen, the colours give it a really tropical feel. Love those metal flowers and your perfect dots (is that tricky to do?)
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking about my shelving btw - if you check out the post I did ages ago when my room was all new and shiny it has all the details

Ooooh this is wonderful. I love the layered look here & I adore Bali. Can't wait to go back one day!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layout Helen! The photos are stunning! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one trying to use up old products at the moment. This is fabulous Helen! we had a week in Vanuatu a few years ago & the tropical plants just blew my mind. As you said, so different from our own landscape. What a wonderful experience attending your Son's wedding in such an exotic setting.
ReplyDeleteLove how you always make your photo shine and of course your journalling is a highlight for me. Wow the time you had in Bali sounds Amazing, pure heaven (oh how I would love to have my own chef, not a fan of cooking myself) and using up old stash is always a bonus
