Vintage Artistry Double Layout

Hi Lovelies,

What says Spring more than loads of beautiful butterflies, adorable little birds and wispy ferns?

Not much I don't think.

These beautiful images come from Helen's Double Layout Class featuring 'Vintage Artistry' by 49 and Market.
The collection is just stunning and Helen has truly done it justice by turning it into a wonderful double page creation!

Helen used a lovely chipboard sentiment from Celebr8's collection 'Good Vibes'.
A finishing touch of Glossy Accents was added to the chipboard and fussy-cut butterflies.

This style of layout is the perfect way to use up all your left over pieces of paper, ribbon cut-offs and anything else you could think of! Sounds great to me!

Helen created this adorable pocket from some of the Vintage Artistry embellishments. It could be used purely for decorative purposes or the perfect little place to store keepsakes and letters.

The various layers of paper, hessian ribbon, music paper, metal embellishments and fussy-cut elements makes this layout truly stunning.

We still have some of these lovely papers in store if you wish to create something beautiful like Helen has!

New South Wales Adventure - Armidale

We today we ventured about Armidale on foot. We started at the markets having a look see at what they had at the farmers market. A few marketers so not much to see today really.

Off we walked around town to see the historical sights. Lots of old buildings from the early days.
In Armidale 100 years ago you had a choice of 21 Hotels!! Today there are 9. Sorry beer lovers.

These guys had a 4 displays of miniature figurines- really cool

Lots of churches within cooee of each other ; Catholic, C of E, Pressy, and Baptist. Lovely old buildings to be admired.

This Celtic cross was erected to commemorate the first Christian service held here in 1845.

A walk through Central Park we came across some structures to commemorate efforts of soldiers in wars.

Her is our van setup at the Showgrounds. A good walk to the amenities keeping us fit!!

Day 2 - Tin Can Bay

First an explanation - as we travel around we will be sharing our travels on our blog. A number of our family are not on facebook, so this is our way of keeping them in touch. Not totally craft related, but you never know when some craft may show up :-).

Another Day in Paradise

We were off to a bit of a late start this morning. Slept in until 8am. Life is hard :-).

We decided to take a stroll down the Kath Kelly path. We were told it was about a 30 minute walk and there was a little coffee shop at the end of the road where we could refresh before wandering back.

When we set off the first thing we noticed was that someone had pulled the plug on the ocean. The tide goes out a long way here.

The path winds along the shoreline and there are lots of signs showing the different bird life and trees. There are also a number of different pieces of exercise equipment. It is really a lovely walk.

Now okay we did amble in our walking but we were a bit shocked to find that we took nearly 2…

Day 3 - Tin Can Bay

Evening Lovelies,

This morning we set the alarm for 6.30am so that we could go down and feed the dolphins at Barnacles. It was a little chilly this morning with the temperature at 3 degrees, but the wind was a pretty gusty so it seemed cooler. My family must love me that they got out of their warm beds at that time to go and paddle in the water.

We did think that there would not be so many people there due to it being a week day, but we were wrong.

We only saw one dolphin this morning, his name is Mystique. He was the alpha of the pod and is about 28 years old. He was very gentle and a little battered as you would expect from an animal of his age. Andrew, Rob and I all took a turn at giving him a little treat.

Back to the van park for a cuppa and then Gramps gave Rob a lesson on how to put the annex up on the van.

It did not seem too hard, and hopefully Robbie will remember how to put it up next time we need it. They were thankful for Andrew's height to help when we had t…
