My layout for the IL Mar09 CC

Here is my layout for the IL Mar09 CC. I have used my "Spring Picnic" kit for this layout and I am pleased with the way it came together.

Friends & Family = FUN

Journalling reads:

Katarapko, a Murray River National Park is located in the Riverland about 180 kilometres from Adelaide. The park is opposite the town of Loxton and is four kilometres south of Berri. Access to the main area of the park is by a sealed road just past the township of Glossop. Other access is gained by crossing the floodplain from either Lower Winkie Road or under the bridge at Berri. Due to the terrain the park is in three distinct sections, which can only be accessed through their separate entrances. The park was formed in 1991 and includes 8,905 hectares with a rich range of habitats. 75% of the area is floodplain and contains many wetlands both permanent and semi permanent. This is an important breeding area for many forms of life including water birds.

Camping in such beautiful surroundings. What could be more perfect! The kids had a ball, the River was gorgeous and it was so peaceful. These are just a few photos of mealtimes whilst we were away.

My first layout as CT at Inspiration-Lane

I have just put together my first layout as a member of the CT at Inspiration-Lane so I thought I would share.

These are some pics of my son messing about with one of the little fish he and his dad caught! When posing, the fish slipped, and he nearly got more than he bargained for!

I have used Jungle Gym All Star by Creative Confusion and a template by Andrea Gold.

New stuff for Visual Designs By Chris

The new Sketch Challenge for this month has been posted at Chris's Forum, and this is my submission for it. This months sketch is in card format and so I have created the front of a card digitally using some of the free files available for signing up in the challenge. I have also used some files from a digital scrap kit I designed and some graphics from digiwebstudios.






I am really pleased with the way this turned out. I love the colours and the files that Chris provided (heart, scalloped paper and paper strip) were easy to use.

The next layout I have created includes photos of my son at his 9th Birthday party at McDonalds. How could I resist using Chris's "Party Hardy" file and one of the latest files added to last quarters QMC, "Burgers and Fries". If you didn't join this Club, then make sure you don't miss out on this quarter, it has just been uploaded to the Store. This layout was also created in Photoshop digitally.

Have a great day wherever you are! Thanks for looking!

Exciting News

As some of you maybe aware ColorLine Design closed it's doors at the end of last month. A lot of the people involved with this site have moved over to Inspiration Lane and this site has grown hugely with this influx of new blood! But.... it brings even more exciting news! I was a member of the CT over at CLD, after resigning from selling as a Designer, and am now a CT member at Inspiration Lane. I am also going to be running two challenges!! YAY!! A Colour Challenge and a Template Challenge, both on a monthly basis as of next month. Should be a laugh, as I have never hosted a Challenge before, so watch this space for more news on those.

So...... head over to Inspiration Lane and check us out. Still some teething problems, not the least of which is that you will probably need FireFox as a browser in the Store (the Admin got stung with the latest purchase of X-Cart being buggy in IE and then not being very helpful with a "fix"),but at least it is free and a very small download, and well worth it, they have some great stuff in the Boutique!

So, keep a lookout for my Challenges, but in the meantime, head over and check out the Forum, there is already a lot happening there :)

have a great day wherever you are!

New freebie - Mar09 CC at SAS

Hi all, hope you are all having a great week, of course I am already halfway through the weekend, but never mind :)

I have finally finished my submission for the Colour Challenge at Stone Accents Studio (SAS). I absolutely loved the colours for this month and it has been a challenge sorely missed over at SAS for some time.

I have also chosen Media Fire to host my files this time. There has been a lot of talk about viruses being downloaded from files shared at 4shared although I, touch wood, have not been affected, poor Pam was wiped out and NOT HAPPY! and rightly so. From what I can gather, it is affecting quite a few people, so I hope that none of you have been adversely affected by downloading my files. Anyway, I thought I would try out Media Fire and see how it goes. if you have any problems downloading, please let me know and I will try to help.

Sorry links no longer available

Part Six

You will notice there are six links, I am trying to keep my file downloads Dial-Up User friendly as I know from experience how difficult it can be to download larger files with a s...l...o...w internet connection. So make sure you get all six links!

have a great day wherever you are!
