Maui turtle

I continue my tour around the world with Shelleyrae, we are now in 2006, island of Maui, and isn't that paper just the thing?! Travel Sketchbook by Shelleyrae Cusbert, as I said before it is filled to the brim with fantastic places... you will want to scrap, and visit!! Available here at SBB.

Tower of Pisa and my dh as a boy

The inspiration came from a paperpack by Shelleyrae, her Travel Sketchbook filled to the brim with fantastic places... Available at SBB. The photos are taken in Pisa about thirty years back, and the cute blond child is my husband now, isn't he precious?! Love the paper! I just need new danglies from Shelleyrae to match the papers, and I will scrap even more! Pisa is not that far after all! Shelleyrae, you do the danglies and I am willing to travel! LOL!

Sketchbook preview


Here is Shelleyrae's Travel Sketchbook I was talking about, isn't it absolutely great?!

Moscow birthday


Watch this space for more, finally some inspiration that stirred so many memories of the past, made me scrap some of the old photos really small and of bad quality, but not to be lost nevertheless, as they are quite important for me. And the secret is: The inspiration came from a paperpack by Shelleyrae, her Travel Sketchbook filled to the brim with fantastic places... Available at SBB.
I also used Shelleyrae's the Reason tag album, Paper sentiments and the font: Susie's hand

Do you like this freebie today?! I hope you do, I have made these papers with the photos I took a couple of weeks back in the Red Square. Funny, how many memories I have connected with the place. Romantic walks with my husband, coming to see the peace parade with my cousin when I was very very young. Visiting Mausoleum on the day I became a young pioneer, and listening to the gossip on how Lenin's nails and hair still continue growing, and feeling remarkably unwilling to go and see a dead man, despite the honour... Losing my dear little bro after the christmas performance... Taking my daughter there for a walk for the very first time. Now visiting it almost like a tourist... I hope you enjoy the papers. The cathedral with the colourful domes is St. Basil's Cathedral. The Soviet looking tower is the main clock that tells us all Moscow Time. It's got a name, Curanti. If you have never been to Moscow, this is the first place you will want to visit, Red Square. It is right there you will find the zero kilometre from which the distances in Russia are calculated. I guess some part of my heart is lost there for ever, and has attached itself to the very stones of the "mostovaya" the pavement of the square.
