At the Port

So, when I was assigned Webster's Pages for an Aussie Scrap Source blog post this week, there was never any question about which line I would choose :)


Journaling: A long awaited holiday outing with a friend. Pancakes at the Port for lunch. Sun on the water by the wharves. Holding hands and sharing stories. Cars 2 the movie. Perfect day.

Yep, Yacht Club. It was perfect for scrapping a school holiday outing to Port Adelaide. We went with a girlfriend and her grandson, who is just a few months older than Jamie. It was a glorious winter’s day and the sun shone off the water. Jamie and his friend walked along the wharf, hand in hand, and deep in conversation (usually about the latest Wii games!!).


I just loved the image of the two little boys playing with their pull along cart, so I had to fussy cut it out of the paper and use it as an embellishment here.


I used a couple of sheets of patterned paper on the background, then painted over them with a wash of acrylic paint in blues and creams. It gave a more subtle background.

Have a great weekend, whatever you have planned. I'm not sure what our weekend has in store for us just yet. Jamie is home sick from school today and I will have to wait and see how he is tomorrow. Hopefully he makes a quick recovery :)
