The Colour and Stash challenge over at 'Scrap Our Stash', had a few different elements. You needed to only use the required colours and then the elements on your page had to start with the letters of your name, mine went like this; M- Metal = my brad, heart pin & my little birdie A- Alphabet = the words on my LO R- Rubons= the hanging from my sign ( I haven't used rubons for years) E- Embelishments= leaves, flowers, Butterfly & pearls E- as Above This picture is of me when I went to Laos in 2017, I was lucky enough to take a group of school children on a tour to help work in an Elephant Conservation Centre. This was one of the most life-changing experiences of my life. ">scrapourstash.blogspot.com/">">

Grateful,Year 10 Camp

This week, I was doing some surfing on the net and I found this terrific site 'Scrap our Stash' its an amazing blog that has challenges that challenge you to use the scraps in your stash. Wow, I have heaps of scraps and mega stash from not scrapbooking for so long. Here is my take on their sketch. The picture was from year 10 camp 2 years ago. I really love going on camp! I am positive this won't happen, this year due to the COVID-19 Virus.

This LO is about 2 beautiful children Git & Lisa from the village of Nong Kiaw in Laos. In 2019, I took students and 3 members of staff to Laos where we volunteered. We helped rebuild their school. This Layout is from from the mystery challenge, you needed to add in 1 or more of the following Use the word ‘valentine/s OR Use Heart embellishments OR Use The word ‘Love’ OR add XOXO’s I used the word Love, XO and hearts

'Journey'

Another LO from Soul Scrapper, you needed to use a random word from the following list; 1. Hero 2. Journey 3. Suspense 4. Explore 5. Thrill, Thriller or Thrilling 6. Childish I based my LO on the word 'JOURNEY'. Last year my daughter and I spent a week in Bangkok and then she flew off to Europe to do a Contiki tour.

'Sweet Children'

Last year I was fortunate enough to visit China, the Children are so lovely. Everywhere, I went I was asked if I could have my picture taken with children. I think it was my grey hair that they were drawn to and possibly because I kept saying ni hao (hello) to them. The children would practice their English with me. This is a sketch from Soul Scrappers

'Pretty Ladies'

Another LO from Soul Scrappers. This LO was a taken from a lift, this is of me and my sisters at Christmas time. There are always many photos taken, as someone is always mucking around, pulling funny faces.

'Adventures are the best way to learn'

It has been so many years since I have use my blog and scrapbooked. At the start of the year, I received an email from Soul Scrappers, sending me information on a new challenge. The challenge is 'Survivor', each month you are given and an element of Survivor to scrap. this month it is Fire. I created a LO about my time in China. The page is about an urn where people pay their respects to people that have passed.
