OK so it was ME who went to Dubbo! And ME who did the layouts!! Hooray for me!!

Anyone who knows the slightest thing about me knows that scrapbooking does not come easily to me… which may explain why, nine years later, our wedding photo’s are still in a little $2 flip folder…. oops.

We went on a bit of a short road trip after Christmas, and met up with some of our Queensland friends - Dubbo was the middle point on the map, so that’s where we headed. Thank GOODNESS I had the presence of mind to pack the photo’s and a Simply Scrappin’ kit, because it was like Hell’s inferno SO DARNED HOT up there. I sat in the cool of the airconditioning and made these 7 pages in about an hour. (I had to kill some time waiting for an acceptable time to go down to the pool for a swim and a little drinkie, tee hee)

I haven’t really used the Scrappin’ kits before, but everything came together so easily - I grabbed some coordinating ribbons, and scissors and adhesives, and it was all I really needed for the job! Oh and it helped that we were married on the island of Erakor in Vanuatu, so the Secret Garden kit was perfect….

The photo’s of the layouts aren’t brilliant, and I haven’t done any journalling or titles or whatever other things you are supposed to do with scrapbooking, but I have left the photo unadhered along the top (look Ma! I made up a word!!) so that I can slip journalling behind the photo if I want to later, and use some of those cool tab things that come in the kit.

Note how young and innocent we look, now we’re old and jaded…. sigh.

OK so they’re only 6 x 6 pages, but it’s a start people!!

And Gabbie, I am so not hooked LOL!

Thanks for looking, now to finish my customer and downline newsletters….. oops!
