some more road trip layouts

These a couple of layouts I have been working on recently in breaks from study/uni, which is what I am doing at the moment – finishing off a presentation for class tomorrow on “ownership and management issues in state owned enterprises in China” which will also be the topic of my semester essay. How Fun!!

Leaving on a ferry

Just a quick little thing I did this arvo in a break from reading about early Japanese history.

Supplies:
Fonts – Weezerfont and TraditionSansXLight
Papers – TracyAnn Artlines Island Collection

Journalling:
It sure took a lot longer to travel between Kedron, QLD and Montrose, TAS via car and ferry than it would have on a jet plane but our road trip was a lot more interesting, scenic and filled with lots of singing and talking.

More Layouts from Tasmania

Well Uni starts back on Monday and I am doing five subjects this semester instead of the usual four to gain an extra major so I won’t be creating as much. I am thinking at the moment to designate each interest a week so in that week any free time I have, I will spend doing X. That is the plan… but here are some layouts I did the other day from our trip to Tasmania. Click on the photos to be taken to a larger image and their notes. πŸ™‚
Yacht Race Richmond Bridestowe Lavender

shoes, ornaments, a bag and so much more.

Stream Shoes The other day I picked up a pair of Source Stream sandals and they are just pure bliss, I have a hard time with shoes from wearing a 9.5 but mostly finding shoes that are always comfortable and can wear all day. Well these certainly fit the criteria and they are so funky as well – the images on the straps are sunflowers πŸ™‚

I have been after some new work pants for a while now but finding good work pants is hard as well. Pants need to be loose fitting, breathable, big pockets etc so that I can actually fill the shelves instead of standing like a bean post, well I found a pair in the most unlikely shop. I was in Mountain Designs and saw some travel pants, which fitted all the criteria – black, loose, pockets, breathable. Score! What makes them even better is that they are a 55% Hemp/45% PET blend, dude my pants are a bong! (yeah I know that the hemp they grow for fabric is different to the pot kind but still), the best bit? They were reduced from $90 to $40, score!

Mikasa Cake Stand

How cute is this little cake stand from Mikasa? It is 5.75″ wide and 4″ high, perfect for taking photos of a single slice of cake or some biscuits πŸ™‚

Villeroy & Boch Ornaments

Two more purchases, as my family and friends know, I have a very good relationship with Christmas Ornaments, we go together like Vegemite and cheese or milk and milo, so when I saw these in the Vileroy & Boch store at DFO, nothing was going to stop me taking them home with me. They are from the Scandinavian Christmas 2004 series, which was the second year in V&B’s Christmas round the world annual collection, Russia was 2003 and America was 2005.
A bag for Rachel

This is a bag I made for a friend who loves cats and is quite fluent in Japanese, so what better than a bag based on a pattern in a Japanese craft book and Japanese quilting fabric? Idea for the bag is from this book (the middle one on the front cover) – ISBN4529040011. Crafting Japanese entry for the book.
Pandanni

I love Pandani! They were such cool plants to play with whilst in Tasmania, the way the leaves formed corkscrews was just so cool, so here is a layout I did on them earlier today πŸ™‚

Well that is for the moment, I was in the middle of making a bag but I ran out of thread πŸ™ so now I am playing in photoshop and chilling out to the crazy/beautiful soundtrack.

Batman Bridge

This is a layout I did earlier this evening, you know like 15mins ago πŸ™‚ one of the many joys of digital scrapbooking, I don’t have to hike downstairs to the scanner and scan the bugger in.

I have spent a little bit of hard earned dough in the last couple days, but of course when I wanted to take photos today it was all overcast and rainy πŸ™ and I also have done some sewing but again can’t take photos because of the weather πŸ™
