Scrap Therapy have recently held there CC and being about journeys, scrapped this one as we got off the ship at Vila (Vanuatu) We'd left Tasmania via Sydney a week or so earlier in the midst of a very cold cold Winter that was doing my head in - and to be in the tropics was just the best medicine for lack of sun! The flowers and folliage is just sooo vibrant there and I tried my best to recreate that. Its great to be doing challenges again as a player at Scrap Therapy (though being past dt arent eligible for prizes...but that doesnt matter!)

TWISTED SKETCHES #31
Sooooooo, while I had my cruise photos out there were some fab ones I really want to scrap! These were a couple of them. This was a little water-colour I picked up over there - just fell in love with it the minute I saw it! It reminded me of the warriors hiding in the trees.
In the tiny pic, the man had a snake entwined up he arm.
ANWAY.... this was the result of the sketch found here and the twist being white is the paint I used under the photo rather than another paper.

SCRAP THAT POETRY #7
I couldnt believe my eyes when I read such a beautiful poem at Scrap That Poetry
I couldnt believe my eyes when I read such a beautiful poem at Scrap That PoetryIt was soooo perfect ('Hope') for the little seagull I rescued on Saturday.
I loved it so much that the complete poem is on my LO. I even worked out specific words in each line to highlight and therefore create another line for the poem.
This little baby seagull is now doing well with the 'Seagull Lady' expert. We took her there yesterday and I spoke on the phone today to hear it was eating greedily!!
So far, so good.

oh wow missy m just love that seagull layout. totally awesome
I love your Hope layout Mandy..full of so much feeling. I love how you have used Emily Dickinson's poem too. :)
Your LO for scrap therapy is just so beautiful - you did a fantastic job of recreating the lush flowers and foliage. The other layouts are so different for you, but really stunning also. So glad the seagull is doing better - I live in Florida in the US and it has been unusually cold here the past 2 weeks and it is very hard on the seabirds, especially the pelicans - their feet and pouches freeze. Bird healers try to find them and warm them in warm water but it's really sad. Hope you have a great week and I always look forward to being inspired when I visit your blog.
Wow!! This is awesome!! great job love the paint!!
What can I say ... totally awesome work!
I am speechless!!! These are just fabulous Mandy.

Fabulous work! Thanks for playing at Scrap that Poerty:)
You are such a sweet person Mandy, taking care of a seagull, checking up on it later on ... how many people would do that I wonder??? And though I love all of the LO's you made, it's the seagull's LO and story that really touched my heart! I'm so happy to be reading your blog again, I can't begin to tell you how I've missed you!
