She Comes From A Land Down Under!!

"Hi, my name is Di Garling. I am a freelance scrapbook and card making teacher. I also design kits for various shops too. Papercrafting is my passion. I am married to a very patient man, I have two grown up sons, two beautiful grandchildren and a little rescue dog named Tilly. I owned and operated a Scrapbook shop for eight years, here in Australia, until I sold it and retired in 2014. You can visit my blog here!" ~ Di Garling

 

"Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. The neighbouring countries are Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east. Australia's capital is Canberra, and its largest urban area is Sydney." ~ Wikipedia

"This is a vintage layout and it features my great grandmother (with an original photo too). The papers from the Love Clippings Collection were just made for my precious photo, I think. A perfect match! I have done some mixed-media on my background, but kept that to a minimum to let the photo and the foiled paper be the star attractions. As you can see, I have added a beautiful bow and even some dangling chains along with some gorgeous Prima roses to complete the look."

"This is a layout I created from lots and lots of older Prima products. I have always loved these particular papers and they were just perfect for the photo. I have added various Prima flowers from some wonderful older collections and I think that collectively, they make quite a statement. I have done lots of layers and a mixed-media background with an emphasis on textures. I have even done a little fussy cutting of some flower shapes from one of the papers too."
