Today I’m sharing a page from my family album - its from August, the depths of winter last year for us in Australia.

Layout: Winter

Journaling

Winter has been wet and warm. We had a cold snap in July, but August has seemed warmer than usual. Our Panama Gold passionfruit has been providing us with dozens of fruit, the camellia is flowering and the Geraldton wax is just beginning to bloom.We’ve spent our days dodging showers, playing outside when we can.Church camp was a glorious weekend with sun shining and beautiful bushland around us. Emily and Edward enjoyed spotting a Monarch butterfly

How I did it

I enjoyed having fun with a most artsy style layout.

Here's the simple steps to recreate this look:

• Blended a photo by clipping it to a photo mask
• Traci Reed's gold alphabets to make a simple title
• Added my journalling with my own handwriting font
•  A couple of brads and some word art to make a little cluster

Make it Monday
