Mina’s Place

This week I was thinking on my ancestors and in particular William the Red from Ireland. I’m at the beach in Taranaki. Text reads:

this is where he came upon this country and married a Princess. I am a direct descendent and I carry his name.

Thought I’d scrap one of my journal pages. Want to get back into it.

Hehehe! I made it in Eidou’s newsletter and am being featured this month on the site for my layouts. How cool. Thanks Louise! Just go upload your layouts to their gallery and you might be selected - you just never know.

Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia is hosting a hoot! This should be a lot of fun! And Kiwi’s can enter!

Other games include a Forum Hunt, and a Random Number Draw. Go take a peek at what the yummy prizes are!

It is a while since I did anything remotely Maori, so here is something - remotely!

Arohanui and all for now, Mina

Here are mine:

a cuppa, family & friends, old things, sparkly things, paper, yarn, bits & bobs, rain, a bath.

What are some of yours? All for now, Mina

Not much to say really, was so good to see everyone again, and good to meet the babies.

All for now, Mina

Last weekend my nephew came over from Oz to get married. We went to the Waikato where they wed high in the hills of Karapiro.

This is not the usual kind of layout I’d normally do, but I thought this might do as an album cover, or the first page of one. Of course I am a sook, so cried some. It was a fantastic event. Congratulations Darlings - Ben & Gina!

Was meant to fair hose down on the weekend, but the weather played along and stayed right in all the right places.

Thought you might like these. Thanks to Obsidian Dawn for the swirl brush. As usual click the pic to go get yours.

All for now, Mina

This is one of the set of five prints I made for a gift. Decided to use it as a base for my 365 Project.

All for now, Mina

This layout won me some physical product from scrapbookingtop50.com.au - yay! Get to do this stuff ‘for real’.

Doing challenges has been great, I think I’ve already done more layouts than I did last year. How are you all going with your scrapping?

All for now, Mina
